Hattie Stewart is a "professional doodler" who is currently quite influential in the fashion world. Having graduated from Kingston University with a degree in illustration, Stewart puts her own mark on magazine covers by doodling on them in bright Posca pens. Her style is quite reminiscent of comic books, and she has said to be inspired by the Beano and Dandy comics, with a passion for larger than life characters. She uses bold colours, dark humour, an urban, cartooney style and unique characters to create her signature flair.
Hattie has worked on projects with huge fashion brands such as House of Holland, Marc Jacobs and Adidas due to the current trends of grunge and urban currently taking the fashion world by storm. She's inspired by London, and feels her identity as an illustrator is tied to the fun loving attitude and underlying sarcasm characteristically found in the city. Her illustrations are quite cheeky and bold: not to mention colourful, with her favourite shade being fluorescent pink.
I feel that creating a similar medium might be a nice idea for my Dr Strange graphic poster, as it all feels quite surreal and incorporates the colour and hallucinogenic aspects of his comic style. I think Hattie's work is extremely simple but incredibly imaginative and impressive, and I would love to experiment in this way.
