The work of Lee Wildish is brilliant but probably not something I'd usually pick out of something that inspires my practice. His work mostly consists of character design and children's book illustrations, two things I struggle with. However, my mum used to work with Lee at the Nottingham Evening Post I thought he would be good to get in touch with for advice. He's becomes quite successful in the industry and with him being from Nottingham it seemed a good idea to look at his work.
Although his work looks at character design and publishing, before going freelance and after working at the Nottingham Evening Post, he moved to a greeting card company as a product development manager where he created concepts and illustrations for the greeting card market. The company he worked for was Paper Rose in Nottingham. I'd love to learn more about that area of illustration so I think they would be great to try contact.
I sent Lee an email asking if he has any advice, hopefully him knowing my mum will mean a better chance of a reply!
