Nicola Starr

on another blog and I had a look at her site and I particularly like the series "Catcher in the Rye"


I saw the work of Nicola Starr

I basically love the book and it seems Starr has taken ideas from the book along with excerpts and shown a kind of visual response to them. A lot like the brief I set myself for my illustration elective.
I think her responses are perfect, witty and imaginative just like the book itself. I think they give a good sense of the setting of the book and although they are obviously collage, she has manipulated the images well, to create a really individual look, which i think can sometimes be difficult to do when working with found imagery.
The mix of the images, string and then the start red works great to add this flair.

This is really odd, my name's Helen Friel, I was the person Matt stayed with in London while he was doing the NFTS stuff. I saw your website on the AYUP myspace. This is my housemates work! He met her while he was here, I just showed her and she's very pleased people have seen her work. We both love your illustrations and collages.
