Des Taylor is a pop artist and passionate comic illustrator, with a very unique and recognizable style, his art rarely goes unnoticed. His use of colour and style is clearly influenced by the golden age of comics, and with his new graphic novel aimed at a female audience "The trouble with Katie Rogers" his work is a fantastically original and beautifully illustrated.
When we showed our work to Des Taylor, he said as a pitch to an investor or employer, we need to work on the presentation of our work. It should be put in binders, with character bio's so that reviewers can get a better understanding of the characters. There should also be the title, character name and logo on each sheet. We should also collect all the work we have on our project and copyright it immediately, by simply sending it to ourselves and not opening it. This will ensure no artist we ask critiques from will try and steal our wok or ideas. He did however think our work was of a high standard and thought that the style was very good, and that we needn't work further on our illustrative abilities. This was again very good advise, as I think showing it in a professional format presentation wise will also add much to the professional look of the work, but again as he thought the illustrations were great and comic worthy, and certainly concept art worthy, I was very happy with what I heard.
