Book Description
The power of reportage drawing is in the immediacy of the images that are created and the feeling of the illustrator's presence on location. Comparable in some ways to photojournalism, reportage illustrators are acting as visual journalists, proactively creating narrative work about issues and subjects, translating what they witness into handmade imagery. There is evidence that illustrations connect to people in powerful ways whether they are drawings created while embedded with troops in Afghanistan, documenting during a courtroom trial or recreating the energy of the crowd at a rock concert. This area of applied illustration also provides career opportunities for students and takes them out of the classroom and into different environments and situations. With practical information about tools, techniques and coping in various situations as well as inspirational interviews and advice from reportage artists working in the field, this book will fill a gap in this growing market.

Book Description
"Resisting his own urge to walk away, award-winning artist George Butler took his sketchbook and made, over the course of a decade, a series of remarkable pen-and-ink and watercolor portraits in war zones, refugee camps, and on the move. While he worked, his subjects--migrants and refugees in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and Asia--shared their stories. Theirs are the human stories behind the headlines that tell of fleeing poverty, disaster, and war, and of venturing into the unknown in search of jobs, education, and security. Whether sketching by the hospital bed of a ten-year-old Syrian boy who survived an airstrike, drawing the doll of a little Palestinian girl with big questions, or talking with a Masai herdsman forced to abandon his rural Kenyan home for the Kibera slums, George Butler turns reflective art and sensitive reportage into an eloquent cry for understanding and empathy."--

Book Description
Following on from Tim King's much acclaimed illustrative exploration of 2016, Drawn on Real Life: The Everyday Story of 2018 documents another extraordinary year on a personal, everyday level. In 2018 we experienced the unforgettable snowstorm dubbed 'Beast from the East', as well as one of the hottest summers recorded in decades and surprise success in the World Cup, we also lived through soaring crime rates, personal data breaches and the political shambles of Brexit. Each day of this year, through his immediate, reportage-style illustrations, Tim captured the attitudes, opinions and atmosphere of daily life, from the mundane to the magnificent. Readily drawn on scraps of paper, pizza boxes and coffee cups, what these images communicate are personal, humorous and often touching stories entirely from the heart that altogether create a year-long visual narrative. Drawn on Real Life recalls not how history remembers last year, but how we lived it.
