I like lists. Here’s another set of my delicious links, this time art related. To reiterate, I don’t usually save the really obvious stuff to delicious, or the really easy to find stuff. This is a mixture of digital art, new media curation and illustration. Lots of it I discovered whilst doing my MA in Digital Media as I did my dissertation on curating new media art.

Since I’ve been up north for a non denominational winter festival with my parents, I’ve had nothing to do except internetting, website building (I built the Brighton Stop The Cuts Coalition website and a new Queer Mutiny Brighton site), and even more illustrations of my friends. Luckily I have hot friends. Enjoy!

Today I did this vector illustration of my friend Sarah:

And this vector illustration of my friend Lewis:

Both using Illustrator, traced from a photo manually (i.e. drawn, not using filters or auto-trace), using a drawing tablet.

New drawing of my friend Eloise. I reckon my drawing style is going to massively change now I am using a drawing tablet for the first time. I like it though.
