I decided to give it another attempt, keeping it simple and graphic. This was an amazing experience as when I took my line drawing out for photocopy, for some reason the black image was bigger than the white making it impossible to paste blocks of one into the other. It seemed a simple solution to cut out all the black sections and paste them into a pattern onto a plain white sheet of paper. It was like being back in primary school, bits of paper, glue, scissors and a mess of paper bits everywhere. I had a great time and at the exercise was well worth doing.

Some of the artists/illustrators from history who've achieved great black and white graphics. Beardsley did some incredible graphic illustrations in his time, while Picasso was a master of line and simplicity. I particularly enjoy and appreciate the simplicity of the graphics of Milton Glaser.
