Ruth Rowland Interview

This month I was interviewed by my agent, Illustration Ltd. We discuss how I became interested in hand lettering, starting out in the record industry, the creative chaos of my East London studio and secret obsessions! The interview also includes a free download of the specially designed poster you can see below.

If you like to read the entire interview, they've posted it on their site here.

Meshminds Interview

I was recently interviewed about my work by Meshminds.com.

Meshminds is a support network for artists based in Southeast Asia and the UK. If you're interested in reading the interview or would like to know more about the site's aims click here.

One of the images featured is a personal piece inspired by the song Wild Thing by the Troggs. I started my career as a lettering artist in the 1980s working mostly for the music industry. My personal work is usually inspired by either music or literature and I always like to have a project on the go that I work on between commissioned jobs. You can see some of this work in my image>text folder.

If you're a student or would just like to know how I started out - you can read more about it in an article I posted on my blog last year. I've also been asked to present a talk about my work here in London in the Spring - I'll give more details nearer the time!
