Johanna Basford

Artists are always looking for new and initiative ways to not only complete there work but too also exhibit it. A recent artist I have stumbled across is very modern in ways her work has been shown. Johanna Basford an illustrator, created a piece called Twitter Picture. She asked people to submit tweets to her telling her what to draw. Then over 24hour periods, streamed live worldwide,a s the tweets were sent in she drew the images and people were able to see the request come too life. This was a great way to not only get interactivity with the public, but also recognition from news reports and Internet blogging. Not only this it created a vast imaginative piece incorporating the minds of many people!



She went further than simple pen drawing and the piece was applied to a car and showcased that way. It is so amazing and It makes me think where else illustrations could be applied.
