Last week Dulwich Picture Gallery launched an exhibition called "What Are You Like?" I had read a lot of articles about it in the past couple of months so was very excited to go. 45 famous names from all different careers were asked to do eight illustrations of their favourite things from a list of 12: animal, book, clothes, comfort, food, pastime, place, possession, music, shoes, weather and pet aversion (the thing they dislike.) People such as Quentin Blake, Philip Pullman, the creator of children's book Charlie and Lola, and Margret Howell the fashion designer, produced some beautiful pictures; all very unique. You are left to guess who did which, which makes it very fun and I'd love to buy the book that goes with it. I particularly like Quentin Blake's, where he incorporates all of the different things into one scene.
I think it would be a great thing to do as a project or even somehow incorporate into your C.V, as not only do the things you choose show your personality but also the way you draw and produce it.
What would feature in yours?
