  • Well done Stephen. The process of exploration,experimentation and investigation is sustained and interesting.

    • Thanks Richard. I thoroughly enjoyed this part of the course and didn’t really want it to end

  • Hello Stephen, You are aware I have been following your work, which is explorative and daring with a process that is encouraging for us students to develop too. Love the sketchbook presented on the video Stephen and shall continue to follow your progress, motivation and continued success. Well dun for being noticed in this way. Diana

  • Lovely sketchbook work of ideas and love the experimentaion! Inspiring, it is great to see sketchbooks so different from mine I ‘kind of’ get to see inside other peoples heads! I love that!!

  • I’ve been wondering when the videos would appear – I am sure we have some treats to look forward to. I found this sketchbook very interesting – the connectedness of it all and the gradual build up of ideas is fasinating. Great work – congratulations Stephen.

  • Fantastic work. I love seeing the sketch book, crammed with ideas, and the progression. I really like the way that you think laterally and nothing is predictable but it is carried out with great thought and consistency.
