Mollie Tearne

MA |Graphic Design Lecturer – Art and Design

Mollie Tearne graduated from The Royal College of Art with an MA in printmaking. Her work there was primarily an expression of the rich cultural heritage of her Sri Lankan grandparents. Since leaving the RCA she has expanded this preoccupation to include memory in a more general sense. She creates mixed media collages using found and printed material.  She has worked as a screen print instructor and freelance Graphic Designer. As well as exhibiting her own work she has curated group shows, participating in Art Licks Weekend as a founder of the collective Strange At the House. Mollie uses her knowledge of fine art practices to enrich her teaching and inform her design and branding projects.

In her spare time she enjoys learning languages and is currently learning Italian. She loves to scour flea markets where she searches for old tinted photographs and 1950’s and 60’s cookery magazines to add to her collection.

Francisco Sousa Lobo

PhD, MA, PGCE |Graphic Design Lecturer – Art and Design

Born in Mozambique in 1973, Francisco Sousa Lobo is a comics author and lecturer based in London since 2005. As an author he has published 16 books, mostly in Portugal, but has seen translations to French, Spanish, Italian and English.

As a lecturer he has taught Illustration, Art and Contextual Studies ever since gaining a PhD from Goldsmiths in 2016.

His interests overflow the constraints of comics, to include History of Art, Critical Theory, Literature and Design Theory.

Comics are my home but I like to travel between disciplines, I read a lot of poetry, art theory and fiction. I originally trained as an architect and yet now I just draw narratives. Drawing, printmaking and philosophy are the constants in my practice. I enjoy classic and contemporary cinema a lot.
