Big Heads: Kyle T Webster



I attended the first big heads session of this year, where I got to meet Kyle Webster and listen to him discuss life as a professional illustrator, and talk about his custom digital photoshop brushes. As a massive fan of his brushes and digital artwork in general, it was great to hear from him directly. 


Notes I made during the talk:

- He started out drawing figures with a lot of energy, but still kept it very minimalist. 
- Make work first and then find a market for it
- He has a very diverse artistic background.
- He feels that he owes his success to the diversity of his work, not having a style. Handy Man of Illustration.

It has really got me thinking about the digital vs analogue media argument. Does the work lose authenticity if it replicates the media digitally?
