On the second issue of the (newborn) magazine Paris La, we were impressed by a long collage contribute done by Rosie Roberts. She's a young Londoner, she has been profiled by Grafik Magazine as new talent and has worked for Time Out mag as well. You should check her own web, she's one to watch!

Could you please tell us more of your background and career?

I have been interested in art for as long as I remember. My father is an artist, and my parents both encouraged me creatively as a child, I was exposed to art of all types from a young age. After leaving school I studied on a foundation course at Camberwell College of Art, in London. I then went on to study at Brighton University, where I initially specialised in graphic design for a year, until I realised that design wasn’t really for me! I’ll always be an image-maker at heart, so I changed to the illustration course at Brighton, and graduated with a BA (Hons) in Illustration in the summer of 2008. Since then I have been working as a freelance illustrator for a variety of different editorial and design clients.
