I am currently experiencing a creative block, and am finding it hard to feel inspired by any of my work. I feel that in order to try and solve this problem, I need to begin experimenting with my methods of producing imagery, and the ways I am working.
All the competitions which I have researched so far (excluding the V and A student illustrator awards) have a defined genre within which the illustrations must be produced, or a specific illustrative brief . Although I was oringally interested in entering the children's macmillan book prize or the bolgna book fair competition, I currently feel that entering these would restrict me too much, and may result in my work not being at its best.
I have spoke about this with Mel, and have found another two competitions to research further - the AOI images competition and the International Contemporary printmakers Competition. I currently feel that it is important not to enter a competition which has a very restricted brief, as this will allow me to experiment with my style and hopefully to become creatively inspired with my image making once again.
