This week I attempted to work digitally for my weekly affair brief, because it is far quicker than painting and quick turn around is something that is important in editorial. But, as you can see, it's the worst thing the human eye has ever seen. I didn't want to put it on my blog, so I put it as the smallest size image possible. Everything is wrong with this. It's so pixelated it makes it look like I've made it on paint. The lines are too thick and too wobbly it looks like a child has done it. And so because of all this, you can't even see what I'm trying to illustrate. Embarrassing.
I even tried extra hard this week because I actually found an article to illustrate instead of just a general well known news story:
Article Title: Is this the PM's 'white heat' of technology moment?
If Theresa May's CBI announcement of £2bn for research is truly new money and depending on the strings attached - this intervention could go a long way to cancelling out any potential financial cost of Brexit. It would not on its own, however, make up for the possible loss of collaborations with EU scientists following Brexit.
So I saw this as money being taken from somewhere to found scientific research to kinda make everything look like it's okay. That's the kind of thing I was going for. I didn't find it hard to generate ideas for how to illustrate it. I wanted to explore using three different frames instead of just the one spot illustration, because it worked really well for my michael gove clown illustration I did a few weeks ago. That element isn't too bad, and i think i should try and do this more successfully in later illustrations. I also like the colours I've used, but that's about it on the positivity.

Next time I think I'll go back to what I'm master at and try again to do a newspaper article.
