graham rawle

We had a really interesting visiting practitioner talk this wednesday from Graham Rawle. The only work of his I had ever looked at in the past was the Wizard of Oz book that he illustrated (scene of the emerald city above). He showed us some examples from a project he did called Niff Actuals that I liked, the idea being re invented board games. My favourite one is the 'Its My World' Globe where he asked artists to draw the world onto a blank globe from memory. I enjoy looking at drawings like this that people have done from memory because there's always something about them that's really funny. Probably because it's near enough impossible to get them perfectly right unless you're like that guy that can draw a whole city from memory.
