REBECCA COUPLAND PORTFOLIO

Art, Design, Photography

Available for Commissions

My passion for art and design has always been something I've tried to incorporate into every aspect of my life. Whether it be drawing my beloved pets, or designing posters for my favourite TV shows, my work has always been full of the things in life that I love, and the things in life that give me meaning.

In this portfolio you will find photos taken with the trusty point-and-shoot my Grandma bought me to use at concerts, how I incorporate those into my art and designs, and my other creative pieces that I believe show who I am as a creative person.

Bio

ARTIST & DESIGNER

Photography

For a long time I have loved taking photos, of my pets , of sunsets, at concerts. But these photos were always taken on my often outdated phone camera, and eventually, the quality just wasn’t enough for me. when I got tickets to my favourite artist’s show, I knew that I wanted to level up the quality of my photos, and thus into my possession fell a trusty point-and-shoot. Ever since then, that camera has accompanied me to every concert, every trip, every holiday. I am by no means a professional photographer, but I would consider it a beloved hobby of mine, and would love any opportunities to expand my abilities or knowledge.

Here are some of my favourite concert photos, that I then have gone on to incorporate in my drawings and designs.

Art

Art has been my number one passion for as long as I can remember. From asking for newspapers and kitchen rolls for Christmas to aid in my creation to the design tablet my Grandparents so graciously gifted me when I was seventeen, my art has been through many different styles and materials.

After university, I struggled for a long time to find my footing with who I wanted to be as an artist; I couldn’t decide what I wanted my style to be and my motivation was at an all time low. Two years ago, I started an art journal where the only medium could use was pen, in an aid to allow myself to draw freely without the aim for perfection. Since then, I have developed my skills in drawing as well as reigniting my passion for the subject, eventually landing on a few styles that I flip through. a lot of my art focuses on the concerts I’ve been to, as I find it very fulfilling to be able to draw from my own photos. In addition to this, I enjoy drawing my beloved pets, and look forward to any commissions I receive.

Poster Series

After I went to The Eras Tour, I spent the following months creating posters from my photos for each respective era. this is one of the biggest projects I've done, and I found myself enjoying every part of it.

Posters

Some of my poster designs for other concerts, artists, and film.

Pet Portraits

Journalling

Although digital art is my main focus, over the last couple of years I have found a newfound love for traditional materials again, particularly pens. I use a range of pens in my journals to create patterns, portraits, and backgrounds. My goal is to start using a wider range of traditional materials.

Design

After losing my flare for design post-uni, I spent a few years away from the subject. It wasn’t until summer of 2024 that I finally dove back into, and I immediately found what I love designing: posters. I found a style quickly but would love to develop my skills into creating magazine/zine spreads and booklets.
