Kate_Gibb

I love her work!!! This is what I aspire to create! In my 2nd year I want to make use of the printmaking skills I have learnt, rather than letting them go to waste. Kate Gibb is one of the leading contemporary silk screen artists and is probably best known for her acclaimed work in the field of music design for artists including the Chemical Brothers, The Magic Numbers, Suede, Simian, My Computer and Bob Marley, to name but a few. Kate Gibb's approach to the medium has more in common with painting than it does to the multiple production associated with silkscreen printing. Typically she works on one off originals or very low runs of hand produced images, applying layer upon layer of colour in a way that results in each print having its own unique characteristics.

Jasper_Goodall

His name was brought up in a crit a few weeks ago and I decided to investigate further. His work is not my normal choice or style, however, I am drawn to the symmetry in his digital pieces.

Klaus_Haapaniemi

Finnish born, now London based artist Klaus Haapaniemi got interested in illustration after seeing some well-designed Russian animations on TV when he was only 8 years old. After graduating from Lahti Design-Institute, Klaus lived in Italy where he worked as a key-print designer for Diesel and Diesel Stylelab. Klaus Haapaniemi's long list of commercial clients include print collections for Clements Ribeiro, Cacharel, Marimekko and Levis, plus store identity for Selfridges, an ever expanding range of his own published books and wall tapestry collection. The list is endless. Not bad for a guy who says that he hasn’t made much professional progress since he was ten.
