3rd Review: Gail Armstrong

Gail Armstrong is an experienced and professional illustrator specialising in the craft of paper sculpture. Multi award winning illustrator in creating pieces for bilboards, press and illustrations.


In this piece of art, she represents YES and NO:

Featured for the tissue company Kleenex, the picture shows detail on two mirrored pieces, one for the positive YES and the other for the negative NO. The changes in colours and the added shadows give this a 3D effect, the idea behind this is brilliant. Designing all Yes answers that would create tears for example the pregnancy representation is shown in a bird bring the baby sack home. While the negative shows the heart all cold and grey scheme. Cracked and letters split. I feel this is a perfect illustration for the market.

Gail also worked an ECO Program representing the earth as all green with additions that affect this worlds health:

I like this work because its very simple yet effective.

In the next work:

Another very simple piece, yet so effective with its bright colour scheme and depth. The 3D values of the art work strikes out. A very realistic approach compared to other illustrations, saying that the effect of layering the paper works well and shows how simplistic and easy art can be in the right hands.
