Comedic illustrations

From my questionnaire I gathered that over the past year i have developed my craft into a humorous and fun based style of work. With the strengths being the humour of the narrative of the work as well as the way it has been crafted. I want to keep going with my paper cuts and develop this further either through screen printing or through mix media. I think overall, my confidence within my work has improved which is important for my practice as humour needs to come across confidently to work well. However, I still feel like my confidence in communicating needs to improve in order to get my work seen outside of the university.
