STUDIO PRACTICE Thomas O’Connor Statement of Intent Rationale • • • • • • •
Identify professional briefs to show I’m commercially viable. Conceptual skills to solve other people’s problems. Large body of personal work for exhibition to help me find the right balance. Create authentic work that’s easily attributed to me. Maintain humour and personality in my practice. Work can never be purely decorative, it’s needs to make a statement or tell a story. Not pigeon hole myself to a specific spectrum of illustration by creating a versatile process.
