I've been feeling a little helpless when reading stories of what is happening to civilians, many incredibly young, in Gaza at this very moment. In an effort to help in some, small, way I'm<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACgwr2Nj_GQ&feature=youtu.be"> </a><a href="http://lizzystewart.bigcartel.com/product/gaza-israel-fundraiser-print">selling this print </a>with all profits going to help the British Red Cross' bring medical aid to those in need.<br />

The conflict is complicated and, for many of us, difficult to attach ourselves to but, I think, this piece from Jon Snow fully explains why we should be paying attention.Lizzy Stewarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07715988443313715585noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371168555762958165.post-26459213349683606902014-07-14T04:02:00.001-07:002014-07-14T04:02:10.714-07:00Help!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I need a studio assistant to help me out on <b>July 30th</b>. Mostly this will involve doing a lot of cutting out and maybe some sticking stuff together as well. Nothing too taxing really, it should only take 3-4 hours in theory. In return I can offer £15, some lunch and some prints and zines and things. You'll need to be able to get to Peckham Rye station by 1<b>1am on the 30th.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A few weeks ago I went to the British Museum with photographer <a href="http://www.fionaessex.com/">Fiona Essex </a>to participate in her 'Shared Spaces' project. I walked around the museum, drawing, and she took photos as I went. Now i'm not usually one for photos of myself but these have a convenient lack of face in them so I quite like them! You can see the full set <a href="http://www.fionaessex.com/lizzy#1">here </a>(and others in the series).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is my first solo show in London. You can read some official information about it<a href="http://www.jaguarshoes.com/?p=15140"> <span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.298039); box-sizing: border-box;">h</span><span style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.298039); box-sizing: border-box;">ere</span>.</a> Its sort of about living at the end of the world. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Hard Wood and Heavy Water' takes place along some half-imagined coastline where two houses sit, on opposite sides of a wind-beaten cove. In one lives a man and in the other, a woman. But this is not a love story. Their lives will not collide, the pieces of the puzzle will not happily fall into place. Instead they cross over, pass by one another, peacefully; firewood left at the fork in the road, a box of candles during a powercut, whisky on the doorstep at christmas. Theirs is a story of silent reassurance, the comfort born of seeing a light flicker across the inky black curve of the sea. </span></div>

</div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> This place feels like the end of the world, the last point before the flat of the ocean drops off and disappears. Skies are bigger here, the weather asserts itself with shameless confidence. It is hard to say how these two people came to be here, whether they simply always were, or if they retreated from something, the world perhaps. Maybe it isn't even a 'retreat' but a challenge- squaring up to world, taking as much air in your lungs as you can, filling your greedy eyes with it all. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">First things first<a href="http://lizzystewart.bigcartel.com/product/minnows"> this book</a> is an experiment. There are flawed bits and
good bits and bits that are almost what I wanted but not quite and bits
that are better than I expected. Its mostly me having a go at something and
not always succeeding. But its good to try eh? Its not strictly a comic or even a book
of illustrations; each 'story' is more like a vignette than anything
truly developed. I've done more <i>writing</i> in this book and that feels a
bit risky because its not something I've ever really done publicly, so
you'll have to excuse lazy sentences and repetitive structural habits.
I'm finding my feet. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Secondly yes, its mostly about love, or forms or love- having it,
the memory of it, the want of it. And I realise that, especially with <a href="http://lizzystewartdiary.tumblr.com/">the diary comics</a>, I do a lot of this sort of thing at the moment but I
suppose, I guess, thats what I like. So you'll probably have to put up with it or get bored and walk away. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />Finally this book is about real people (though that doesn't really
mean that its all true). In many cases they are people I am very fortunate to
know. In writing and drawing about them I am trying to articulate how
they've all left a dent (in me) and how I am proud of each dent and
scratch, because they are the best people I've known. So. There we go.</span></span><br />

<br />
<i>"Drawing is the simplest way of establishing a [..] vocabulary because it is an instant personal declaration of what is important</i>." Betty Goodwin. <br /><br />-----<br /><br />On a few occasions I have been asked why it is that I draw, as though the career I am in the process of crafting for myself has been rationally reasoned and considered. It is a question that, for a long time, I have not taken seriously. I glossed over it with a flippant remark- ‘its the only skill I’ve got’ or something about really wanting to cultivate my terrible posture and poor eyesight. Recently however this question has begun to demand a more considered response. Larger musings, admittedly self-indulgent ones, on who I am at this quarter-century stage of my life have brought me round to thinking through what I do, this thing that has, and will continue, to define much of my life. <br /><br />I will often say that I draw because I am not musical; that my inability to write a great break-up album forces me to draw it instead. Similarly I might say that it is because I am a poor writer, childish with poetry or dangerously uncoordinated as a dancer. I claim that drawing is my mode of expression by default, that creative failings have led me to plump for this as my outlet. This is all true, in a sense, but it gives short shrift to drawing for, in truth, it is one of the most natural an instinctive forms of expression I can think of. Not for a second do I genuinely feel I have settled for a lesser medium. <br /><br />Firstly I should establish that whilst I am ‘an illustrator’ I am not talking about illustration here. Drawing is not illustration and illustration is not drawing. Whilst differentiating between the two might verge on the pedantic and is certainly, in many ways, reductive it is also necessary in this context. <br /> When draughtsmen recorded nebulous masses of stars through eighteenth century telescopes or the sinewy capillaries of a lung dissected in a victorian operating theatre they were not drawing. The choices they made in the information they recorded determined contemporary understanding. Their medium was explanatory rather than expressive. <br /> Where, in drawing, the artist allows for minimal interference between the hand, eye and mind, moving between the three with deft swiftness and an almost unconscious intent, the illustrator must, through their own hand, factor in the eye and mind of the viewer. It is the viewer's understanding that must be met before any of the authors creative goals. Whilst expression and creative flair play an integral role in the desirability of an image the onus falls on clarity of message to determine its overall success. The fine artist's goal is often an emotional one and thus they are afforded a freedom of expression that is not always afforded to the illustrator. We are, perhaps, more generous with our reading of fine art image-making because we understand that the artist's message might not be a tangible or concrete one because drawing is so instinctive.<br /> As a caveat this is not to say that illustrators are not artists, nor that a fine artist lacks the capacity to clearly deliver a message. The most successful illustrators marry the two and can create beauty and clarity. <br /><br /> Sketching, which I confess I do rarely at present, is fast and unthinking and and yet you are decision-making the whole time. With every swift stroke across the page you are deciding which parts of your subjects are most important to you. In essence you are re-sculpting one thing into another unconsciously. In filtering visual information from eye to hand you tell a specific story, one that is unique to your way of seeing. Furthermore drawing is hampered by very few obstacles; information travels from eye to brain to hand without having to be compressed into language, rife with barriers and limitations. Feelings that cannot be summarised in words can often be succinctly expressed with the broad stroke of an inky paintbrush or a sweep of pitch-black charcoal. Often drawing feels like taking notes; quickly getting down as much information as possible, keeping a record. My sketchbooks are a mix of images and words but the text rarely feels like ‘writing’ but drawing. There is the feeling of ‘pulling’ something out of the page, shaping it and giving it weight. Whether this occurs with words or pictures is, during the process, almost irrelevant. Instead there is just the feeling of pressing an idea to the page, in whatever form it fits.<br /><br /><br />For me drawing is a form of thinking. A drawing need never be finished, much as an internal throught need never be formalised into a precise statement. It also benefits from, I believe, an inability to lie. The hand will only do what it can do naturally, there are no dictionaries, no filtered lenses or editing tools to reshape it into a more-perfect thing. If a mistake is made you erase it or paint over it but the ghost of that mistake remains- denting the paper or traceable through the slight relief of paint. In this respect it seems honest. Even those who, perhaps unwisely, attempt to ape the draughtsmanship of another will be betrayed by the habits and limitations of their own hand. <br /> A friend, a talented artist, would always draw with a slight incline to the right (similarly, I suppose as to how I write with a slope to the left). His images slanted, just enough to be noticeable, with the motion his hand made across the paper. This was cause for much consternation from the friend, who was adamant that he would eradicate this foible, this habitual lean. Yet I found it compelling. His slanted drawings were not only beautiful but told the physical story of their production so succinctly as they allowed you to follow the route of his hand across the page with the direction of his line. <br /><br />To return to exactly ‘why i draw’- I suppose it is party born of a need to expel gathered information, which seems a somewhat clinical way to boil things down. As a person to wanting to store as much as possible as memory I find that drawing acts as a way of purging certain ideas before the clamor for attention in my head becomes too cacophonous. I like that it is, in effect, a quietening which is mirrored by my physical state when working. The process encourages me to to slip into a mode of being that is automatic and relatively unthinking. <br /><br />Finally then, I draw because I want, in some way, to be known. Not in any genuinely intimate way, I’m not angling for romance or hoping to draw myself a soulmate. Rather I draw for the same reasons that, I believe, anyone makes anythings. It feels like people are huge, enormous in fact and so many are frustrated by the limits of their physical selves that they feel fit to burst; filled with vast swathes of thought and feeling, joys and sadnesses. Every single person is so much bigger and I suppose we fear that the rest of us, the parts not represented by body or speech, will be lost. I draw, then, for this part of me, the majority of me I suppose; because that way it might outlive ‘me’. If drawing is the best way of establishing what is important to us visually then it must go some way towards recording what it important to us internally, <br /><br />-----<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /><i>“Subconsciously I want to make myself immortal among men, leave my mark on the earth to compensate for social inadequacy… So I draw.”</i><br /><br />R.

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sv-MhQGUlzM/Ucnbovicb4I/AAAAAAAAC9I/t61W0nOVOjI/s1600/Screen+shot+2013-06-25+at+12.20.14.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sv-MhQGUlzM/Ucnbovicb4I/AAAAAAAAC9I/t61W0nOVOjI/s400/Screen+shot+2013-06-25+at+12.20.14.png" width="312" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I finished my MA and, in truth, I am incredibly glad that its all over. It is difficult to process how I've felt about the whole experience; often frustrating and anger-inducing, sometimes bewildering, occasionally inspiring. It has been a long and complicated two years and I think it'll take me a while to work out what, exactly, they meant to me.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> And now. Now. Hmm.<span style="font-size: x-small;">...</span> People keep asking me what I'm <i>'going to do now</i>' and quite frankly I have no idea. It is as though 'now' is a whole new world, a precipice I am teetering on the edge of and what comes next should be big, bold, a dramatic change. Except it won't be. It'll be exactly the same, at least outwardly. I will keep freelancing and continue to make books and prints and do a bit of teaching here and there. I will carry on taking too many coffee-shop breaks. It is only inwardly that there has been a change, of course there has. Two years of thinking about your work, about <i>what you do and why you do it</i> will undoubtedly change things for you. There are times when I think all that academic navel-gazing has caused permanent damage, other times I think its allowed me to really get to grips with what is important to me, creatively. Either way its been exhausting and now I find myself.... no, actually, I don't know where I find myself. I think my work has been, and will continue, changing. I paint more and draw less, I write a lot more than I ever used to, I struggle with client work in a way I didn't in the past. The only thing that seems fixed is that stories are at the very heart of what I do and what I <i>want</i> to do. It is the story that matters most t<span style="font-size: x-small;">o be. I like telling them, I like reading them and hearing them. I like how s<span style="font-size: x-small;">haring a story with <span style="font-size: x-small;">another person <span style="font-size: x-small;">can <span style="font-size: x-small;">create <span style="font-size: x-small;">wonder</span>. </span></span></span></span></span>And<i> perhaps</i> that means that the stories I tell won't always be told with static images, or even images at all, <span style="font-size: x-small;">perhaps <span style="font-size: x-small;">I'll write some things, <span style="font-size: x-small;">or simply tell <span style="font-size: x-small;">them</span></span></span></span>. I wonder whether, for a while, I won't<span style="font-size: x-small;"> even<i> be</i></span><i> </i>an illustrator <span style="font-size: x-small;">but something less clearly defined</span>. Its hard to say<span style="font-size: x-small;">, hard but certainly <span style="font-size: x-small;">interesting. I am learning to see flux<span style="font-size: x-small;"> as something exciting<span style="font-size: x-small;"> and not <span style="font-size: x-small;">bewildering<span style="font-size: x-small;">. I like that my work is not a fixed point, just as I, myself, am<span style="font-size: x-small;"> not a fi<span style="font-size: x-small;">xed point. It will change as I do<span style="font-size: x-small;">. And whilst<span style="font-size: x-small;">, professio<span style="font-size: x-small;">nally<span style="font-size: x-small;">, that seems terrifying, <span style="font-size: x-small;">I think<span style="font-size: x-small;">, maybe, i<span style="font-size: x-small;">t'll be <span style="font-size: x-small;">goo<span style="font-size: x-small;">d for me. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Lizzy Stewarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07715988443313715585noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371168555762958165.post-77264925536853537772013-06-05T13:34:00.001-07:002013-06-05T13:34:54.034-07:00Drawing Shop<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So! In an alarmingly small number of days I will be handing in all my work for my Masters Degree at Central St Martins. This means that in June I'll be part of the degree show exhibition and in order to not <i>totally </i>disgrace myself I'll need to fork out for a tonne of printing over the coming month. So in an attempt to raise some funds for that I'm selling off some drawings and paintings. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> As usual If you're interested in purchasing
anything send an email to lizzy (at) abouttoday.co.uk and include where
you live so that I can work out the postage. I<span style="font-size: x-small;">'m afraid I </span>can only take payment via

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Last week I spent four days in Iceland, mostly in Reykjavik, with three of my closest friends. Somewhat predictably I fell totally in love with the place (Mountains! Ice! Multi Coloured Houses!)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">and am now having a proper sulk about being back in London. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> I did a fair bit of drawing whilst I was there and the drawings are now crammed into a zine which you can pre-order<a href="http://lizzystewart.bigcartel.com/product/four-days-in-iceland-pre-order"> here </a>(it'll ship next week once its back from the printer.).

AHOY! This wednesday I'll be talking at the <a href="http://comicbookslumberparty.com/">Comic Book Slumber Party</a> as part of the Bath Literary festival. I'll be talking with the excellent <a href="http://philippajrice.com/">Philippa Rice </a>about self-publishing and making a living from drawing pictures and whatnot. It might be interesting...at the very least it'll be distracting. There are a load of amazing people taking part (Gemma Correll, Donya Todd and Wai Wai Pang to name but three) and the whole day is totally and utterly free...which is pretty flipping great if you ask me.<br />
<br />
You can <a href="https://uk.patronbase.com/_BathFestivals/Productions/E1C/Performances">book tickets to my talk here </a>and find out more about whats on<a href="http://comicbookslumberparty.com/whats-on/"> here. </a> Lizzy Stewarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07715988443313715585noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371168555762958165.post-13337539616170943252013-02-19T09:06:00.000-08:002013-02-19T09:06:11.591-08:00Who we are and what we do<div style="text-align: left;">

Its called 'Communication Design' but as I have no other strings to my, very, flimsy bow I'm sticking with illustrative communication because, lets face it, that's pretty much all I care about. So there are a few strands to my research but my primary goal is that at the end of the two years, which is now fast approaching, I will have a better understanding of what it is that I do.</span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I think Illustration is important. Not in a <i>real </i>sense, not as how I think feminism is important or social justice or the heartbreaking dismantling of the NHS, of course its not important like that. But within the culture of art and design illustration<i> is</i> significant, not least because it has always been here. Putting information into pictures has been humankind's way of explaining life for centuries; from cave paintings to maps of the stars to diagrams of the human body. Images can be the most powerful, concise and comprehensive way of dispensing information to a varied audience as everyone is, on some level, visually literate. We look at pictures before we can speak, we draw before we write. We k<span style="font-size: x-small;">now, from childhood, how to read a picture and that m<span style="font-size: x-small;">akes <span style="font-size: x-small;">it <span style="font-size: x-small;">immediately more accessible than anything <span style="font-size: x-small;">w<span style="font-size: x-small;">ritten might be. </span></span></span></span></span></span>I think pictures are instinctive and intuitive and, as a result</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">, carry some weight.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The work I did for 'The Call of the Wild' is now on <a href="http://www.abouttoday.co.uk/Quiet-Wilderness">my website</a>. These drawings and paintings focus on my immediate surroundings; the
corner of South London that I live in. It is relatively quiet and
somewhat neglected around the edges. From our bathroom window your eye
can follow a tangle of hedges and fences upwards towards chimneys that
stretch towards Battersea. Whilst not 'wild' in the traditional sense
this place, to me, has a kind of wilderness quality found in the falling
fences and peaceful streets, as though it is waiting to be discovered. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I moved house!

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm still at Central St Martins working on my masters degree.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I updated my website a bit. There's new stuff dotted all over and a load of old stuff is gone. Hopefully in the coming months it'll be totally spruced up. Its good to purge the old stuff, the things that don't feel relevant. New year! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">AND FINALLY. My shop has relocated. Its <a href="http://lizzystewart.bigcartel.com/">here</a> now and there are new prints and cards and whatnot for you to peruse. There's also the option to order any of the images from my site as a print if you fancy. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">And thats more or less it! There will be more stuff here in future. Perhaps in different forms than normal. Wait and see I guess..... wait and flipping see. </span></span><br />
