Thoughts

When first looking at the questions given, I didn't think any of them really was suited to what I'm interested in. Although I suppose don't even really know what I wanted to write about anyway...
But I went with the social responsibility question, as my previous essays evolved around social issues and I know I can easily slot in subjects that I have previous knowledge of.

After writing the proposal and getting the feedback I do feel more comfortable. I didn't think that this question was relative to my work, but looking back at what I submitted, the images I had put into the presentation are not too dissimilar to what I'm looking at doing within illustration. The style may be different, but I like illustrating subjects which I feel like the public needs to be aware of. For example:

Theresa May riding nuclear bomb 

I personally feel like this is something that needs to be open to the public, and a lot of people weren't even aware that a vote on nuclear weapons was even happening. Although it is clear that my illustrations are pretty left wing and show my views, but I still think it's incredibly important to show as many people as possible what is going on in the world and how it's effecting all of us. I feel like it's my job as an illustrator to show people my age what's going in the world. But what about other illustrators?

So...

WHAT ARE ILLUSTRATORS DRIVEN BY?? SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY? CONSUMER APPETITE??
