pp: research - linzie hunter



Linzie Hunter is an illustrator who currently lives in South London. She specialises in typography and children's illustration. Her work is very inspiring to me as someone who is really interested in both of these fields. Her work is fun and colourful. Although she does not write children's books herself, she has illustrated one (which is how i found her!) called 'If You Had A Jetpack'. Her illustrations are adorable and whimsical, from this book most of them different types of animals. I am especially interested in the way that she utilises coloured pencil and digital works, as someone who really loves the coloured pencil medium.

She unfortunately does not take student emails as she is too busy.

pp: my identity

I have been known as @scribbleblog for so long i don't even know who i am anymore. i want a change, but what to?

i don't like the name Bethany, i think the capital letter B is really ugly (don't really have a reason for that, just personal preference) and i in general just don't really like my name. 

i have this joke that i play on people sometimes when they ask what 'beth' is short for, and i like to tell them it's Elizabeth. i don't know what it is about that name but it just feels more professional and fancy, like i'm an actual adult. 

because i've been known to do this joke so often and got so attached to the name i think i am going to change my identity as a professional to Elizabeth Faye. (Faye is my middle name)

i really love this name and think that it's the beginning of me finally become a professional illustrator.
