be noticed artistically: Kavel Rafferty

Kavel Rafferty is an English Illustrator who is based in Barcelona, Spain. Her work is very versatile, she mostly produces modern illustrations where she combines techniques of print making, drawing and found imagery, painting and even collage to create her illustrations. Kavel loves the process of printmaking whether its screen printing, linocut or most recently risograph.

I love the colour use in these illustrations of hers. They are very bright and retro looking. The colours also bring the picture to life in many ways! The use of different techniques in Kavel's work inspires me in many ways and can make me relate to this style of illustrating because I myself prefer working with different media for my illustrations.

Although most of Kavels work isn't based on detailing but more on printmaking and layering, you can definitely identify objects that she is trying to show easier by their shape. i find that as something i could learn from her. The clever use of colours and typography is also something that i love about Kavels work. To me most of her work leans towards the pop art side of illustration.
