I joined tbC at the beginning of 2016 and have enjoyed every minute working within this collective. tbC has been extremely supportive of my work as an illustrator, offering me advice and opportunities to grow and develop my skills both as an artist and as a person. I have also taken part in a number of collaborative projects where I have met with artists, writers, musicians and like-minded people and have walked away enriched by the experience. What made me want to join tbC was how it allows young people of different artistic practices to come together to create something as a community. Each individual brings something to tbC that is unique and special. tbC respects these individual talents and welcomes the contribution we can all make to the development of collaborative artworks. For me, tbC is extremely easy and enjoyable to be a part of. I always feel like I have tbC at my fingertips for support and guidance. For a long time, I have wanted to be a part of something bigger than myself when it comes to creating and designing. I get this feeling when I am at tbC.
