The problem I am encountering with my work at present is that it seems to lack content and is reliant on development. My work at the moment is not so much about the final outcome but how I end up there. I have started drawing pictures but they mean nothing until they are given a context. One of the main problems I need to address is being able to step away from the sketchbook, to push my illustrations into other areas of which they can be understood. By further experimentation with different media, colour, scale, shape and layout will help give my work some meaning. 
Along side this, I have been experimenting with typography (shown below). Ultimately I see text as a challenge and another way of illustrating, and that is what I've been trying to convey with it. I need to think of a way to combine text and illustration however. it may simply be that the illustrations need to be printed onto different surfaces with the type, or  compiled together in some sort of book, a bit like Neville Brody done with the Rimy River.
