Since the last peer review I've mostly been starting to think about the book. The format/ overarching idea hasn't really changed that much since I made the Don't Be Afraid hotdog book. I did some drawings to think about the character (in the end went for the blandest and least distracting one) and comic strips (decided they were unnecessary and would take up too much room in such a small publication). I've roughly decided on a list of artists of which I believe to be relevant to the interests and in the minds of those I'm making the zine for.
The premise of the publication is that it will be a zine produced to be distributed between people to encourage people who would not necessarily be interested in art to take a look at it, whether they like it or not. The zine will be monochrome and 'lo-fi' in production to suit this context.
I've begun to make images for the zine, opting for a combination of a loose wash of gouache and pencil crayon and brushed lettering for words and quotes. I think these will translate well to the printing method and at once look interesting to someone who comes across it but almost have that humorous tone of voice in its visuals as well as its contents- i.e. me trying to lend something from the likes of Shrigley or Paul Davis.
