Made You Look from Look and Yes on Vimeo.
Recently myself and a few of my peers went to Hyde Park Picturehouse to see Made You Look. The viewing also contained an post screening Q&A discussion with current practitioners, Leeds based Colours May Vary owners and a co-producer of the film.
I absolutely loved this film, the discussion between digital and analog and the dependency of one on another was a debate I was very interested in hearing about; the renascence of analog illustration in the current industry was also comforting to hear.
What really struck me about this film however was that illustration can be MEANINGFUL! Although there is a very strong sense that illustration is highly commercial, what I liked about this film was that illustrators were being commercial successful whilst SAYING SOMETHING with their art. A lot of the practitioners talked about the importance of the real world and doing things on their own. It really got me thinking about my own practice and what I want it to be. I want to feel as though my illustrations have a sense of real world authentisitcy about them rather than just being a replica of the 'in' style of illustration.
