after discussion with Fred about how i am trying to cram everything i found out about each person in one portrait/one illustration piece i have thought about way i could spread out my experience with each person on more than one portrait. 


'think about it in terms of how many pages in a book you would beed to tell the story.'

David Fullarton 
i really like the reportage nature of this artist work, i think it communicates not just a person but gives you a background, atmosphere and personality. - something i want to capture in my illustrations. 
i really like the way he incorporates text as a way to communicate his message aswell. i think this makes people more inclined to engage with a piece. 


i liked the idea of making a a collage for each person which exist as separate square illustration boards but link together by overlapping an illustration on both boards - like a tryptic does. 

however, though i was branching out of the circumference of a single portrait to add and communicate the story of the person in the portrait, i still felt their was more elements of their lives i could draw that wouldn't fit into just 2 more pieces (without cramming again) 




so i have decided to produce 4 square illustration collage boards. 
all 4 will link together merging the one persons journey (as it is a continuum journey) but will be work as separate pieces. 
i have tried to add illustrations, quotes and life moments that happened at similar times in each square, starting from the early life memories and ending in more recent happenings.
