Back in the room!! / by Camille Aubry

The last few weeks were a total treat after two years of remote live illustration jobs only! I am very grateful to my various commissioners including the University of Bristol, Great Ormond Street Hospital, StART Entrepreneurship Project and Barbican who took me on an amazing tour of some of the most exciting venues in England:

  • People’s Republic of Stokes Croft, Bristol

  • MShed, Bristol

  • The Shard, London

  • Royal Nothern School of Music, Manchester

  • Barbican, London

The discussions and presentations were all equally powerful, emotional and inspiring. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better welcome-back in the room tour!

Two out of three events were digital live illustration, which still seem to be the trend even for in-person events. I am wondering if this will carry on or if we will observe a shift back to the Posca murals? Whilst I am still very much a markers-lover, I do appreciate the versatility of the digital canvas, its durability and support towards more eco-friendly practices.

How is YOUR journey back in the room?
