SB2 - Brexit Illustrations

Brexit Illustrations

I created 4 Illustrations which depict a remain perspective of BREXIT for my 504 module. I had some very positive feedback from people who said that they felt the same way as me and my illustrations and therefore decided to try and get these out into the wider world. 
I therefore researched and found that my local MP at home was pro- European alongside the campaign groups (the European Movement and Britain For Europe) so thought that they would be empathetic and appropriate places to get in touch with.

I have had a response from my local MP who said that he was 'very much interested in your illustrations' and wanted written permission from him to post the images and use them in leaflets and sent me over a contract document. It was very formal and complicated.
I had to read this carefully as to protect my information like email and home address. I also added that I would like my Instagram account attached to my work. I also requested to know when and where my artwork was being used.

SB2 - Book Professional Statement

Professional Statement

I created an image for an art therapy book, in the summer after level 4, that my neighbour is writing, depicting a clay sculpture which is described in her writing (but the image needed to be portrayed in a non-copyright format). As the childs' work was very personal and couldn't be used. It still isn't printed but it should be out by August 2019.

"Alex Fox is currently studying for her Bachelor of Arts in Illustration at Leeds Arts University. She has worked for several years at Cambridge’s ‘Arty Crafts’ holiday club which involves expression through clay together with other media. Alex is also a singer-song writer whose art practice explores the “aura” connecting music and art creatively, alongside the conversation between analogue and digital ways of image making."

I wasn't sure what to write here because it had to be relevant to art therapy (and the other people she had asked had written a chapter/ had contributed literary to the text). She replied and told me to add an extra part which was about my broader creative practice.
