Love Your Work: Fan Art Swap

If you’ve ever liked the idea of having your portrait done and you have a whacky sense of humour then getting involved in a fan art swap could be just for you.  But in order to get some love you have to give some love. You don’t have to be a celebrity (be it that that’s one of the origins of fan art) and it doesn’t require any level of artistic skill, just a bit of imagination,  a touch of madness and some postage stamps to send it off on its way.

Sonia Sly found out more when she spoke to graphic designer/ fan art swapper and lover Kalee Jackson whose blog www.loveyourwork.org came out of her desire to connect with others.
