Elliot Kruszynski - Ideas for Illustrated Self

After looking at Luke Pearson and deciding I might want to try screen-printing for this brief, I remembered a screen-printed piece I saw when I was interviewed at Bath Spa. I couldn't remember his name though!! I'd previously made a note of this person and used him as a reference when I was on foundation at UCA last year but all my work from last year is back in Kent and all analogue so I couldn't look him up from that.

After scouring the Bath Spa School of Art and Design website and typing various things into Google (including things like Kruiskski, Kruyininsky because I remembered he had a name sorta like that), I found him again! And made a note of his name and Puck Collective which he belongs to.

ANYWAY

The piece in question:

Sooooo goooooooood

His work does remind me a little of Luke Pearson's and of Adventure Time. Very kinda cutesy and childish, but there's still evidence of a lot of digital and practical skill. The composition of the piece is also great, a good sense of depth and the rule of thirds being employed.

What I remembered most about the image was the portrayal of light and the colour scheme. Very simple, monotone, but very effective for its purpose as a poster for saving forests and animals, as well as for screen printing.

So this is another major influence for this brief right now.
