Industry Contacts

I have considered who I would want to contact within the industry to interview and I think I've managed to narrow it down to my main 5.

David Doran
Although Patrick advised us to try to avoid contacting illustrators, David's practice is similar to where I want my own practice to move towards. Also David has recently left university studying illustration so I would like to find out how he coped with moving from studentship into working as a professional. (david@daviddoran.co.uk)

Jon & Tom  (Owners at Handsome Frank Agency)
I love the work that comes out of the Handsome Frank agency, and would like to know more about how they choose which illustrators to approach/ take on and how they go about finding work for the illustrators. (jon/tom@handsomefrank.co.uk)

Sam Arthur (Co-founder of FlyingEye Books)
Sam was one of the co-founders of FlyingEye books, a great publishing house producing some really interesting works which fit the general aesthetic of my own practice. (sam@nobrowpublishing.co.uk)

Jim Stoddart (Artistic Director at Penguin Books since 2001)
I'd like to know what Jom looks for in an illustrator or designer, and the way he likes to work with regards to offering/ finding illustrators.
