I have chosen to feature Gary Refords work within this project because i feel that i can draw inspiration from what he does and his style he uses. Like this steam stack portfolio pieces project his work is digital and clean, the only difference is that i overlay a rough watered layer. Here is an example of Gary's work:

I have taken time to email Gary with my self promotional questions, but i thought it'd be obvious to include his reply here too:

Hi Nathan Thanks for your email, yes its a good idea to have another steady means of income when you first start out, it will also help with funding some self promotion  i had a look at your tumblr, its nice work, i would recommend sending samples of your work to newspapers and magazines and also to take a page in contact illustration and have a look at the discussion boards on AOI theres lots of advice and help on there Good Luck !  Gary
