Back in my Derby College days, I was asked to produce a ‘visual C.V’, to show my skills rather than simply listing them on a Microsoft Word template. Despite having a fairly short turn-around time, I created one of my favourite pieces of work, a large A2 biro illustrated piece, all totally hand-drawn using Bic biros.
…You may be wondering why on earth choose to use biros?
Well. I decided to go for this ‘can-be-found-in-any-desk-tidy’ tool to show how I can be creative with absolutely anything, and the fantastic quality with a biro is that you can see every single stroke applied to represent the amount of detail I put into every aspect of my work. Also, each stroke left an indent in the paper, which gives a real ‘final’ feel to the piece, and shows my will to try and leave my mark with every piece of work I produce.
