Lauren Mulhearn

I am a Bristol based illustrator/designer. Ultimately I am an illustrator, however my approach to producing artwork falls under many different categories. For example, I routinely enhance my projects with processes like film, costume, 3D models, photography and graphic design etc.

Visually, my work appears colourful, childlike and humorous. However, the context of my work frequently explores more serious angles to provide meaning and purpose. The main inspiration for my work comes from food, music, satire, and the people around me!

Where would you like your work to take you?

My goal would be to work completely freelance as a designer/illustrator creating work I love. I'd like to explore some
more food related projects, but also work on a bigger scale. i.e murals/window displays. I'm still fairly new to digital illustration but I can see myself going more down that path and teaching myself animation.

Which part of your creative process do you enjoy most?

My favourite part of the creative process is the colouring stage. It takes the least amount of brain power and I can sit on the couch haha

Where do you draw inspiration from?

The main inspiration for my work comes from food, music, satire, and the people around me!

What piece of music would you say compliments your work the most?

Shackles by Mary Mary

Can you list a couple other creatives/friends/people you look to for inspiration?

I absolutely love the work of @molinetjuan and @travislampe !
