Contacts I attempted to make:

- Matthew Swallow - recruiter for Nestle’s future talent
- Finnian MacManus Creative director
- Ryan Didcote - game developer and concept artist

- Llaina Lowe - 2d animator and storyboard artist
- Holly Warburton - 2D animator and illustrator
- Michal Bedkowski - Illustrator and concept artist
- Phoebe Shore - 2D animator
Matthew Swallow reached out to me unprompted to talk about a potential opportunity. I haven’t yet replied but it’s a lead and I plan to ask them about the specifics behind this job. I think it won’t be suitable for me so I will make sure to push my actual strengths and specialism in case something else comes up in the future.
Networking opportunities:
- Gallery show at the end of summer - I’ve been invited to join in with a gallery that will be organised by some fellow graduates. It will be open to the public and have a lot of people contributing.
- The London Illustration Fair
- ‘Townscapes - Morning Drawing Workshop’ - with Caroline Rilatt
- The Life Drawing Society at Assembly House should hopefully be back on over summer (I went for 4 months over lockdown when it was allowed)
- Saint Martins illustration short course
- Aesthetica Film Festival
- ‘Drink and Draw’ at Bowery Visual Arts
Ask for advice
- I emailed Claire Hummel to ask for advice after I tried to connect through LikedIn
- I have not received a response which is totally expected but I may email Sandra Duchiewicz in the future as she as some active articles where she replies to students
- It feels awkward to reach out to ‘real’ artists so this excessive has helped demystify that
