The Authorial Illustrator: 10 Years of the Falmouth Illustration

10 years of the Falmouth Illustration Forum. The Authorial Illustrator seeks to reassert illustration as a developing practice; working against the tendency for the discipline of illustration to be seen as a repetitive commodity where the illustrator is presented with an already clearly defined concept. Each year the renowned Falmouth Illustration Forum has created a theme which explores a different face of authorial illustration practice, shedding light on different aspects of the work of an authorial illustrator, the development of an illustrator’s individual voice and the assertion of their personal characteristics of authorship. ‘I think what you’re doing is really important, in redefining and re-validating illustration as a profession.’ Jonathon Rosen. The Authorial Illustrator is a not-for-profit publication.
