I just finished printing a small series of screenprints for the upcoming TOAST festival which will be held at the Red Gallery in Old Street. It’s food themed so I drew my favorite thing: grumpy girls. I also put them on some fruit. Here’s a preview and you can see them all at the festival on June 1 & 2. The event is raising funds for food charity Action Against Hunger and you can find out more here.
I was approached by Daniel Eckler, creator of Piccsy, to create an image for their experimental sister platform Piccsy Playground on the theme of getting lost.
Good news! My card collaborations with Bison Books made it into Uppercase’s Special Stationery Issue. It’s full of great work and has a beautiful cover by Darling Clementine to boot. Check it out here.
Last year I had the pleasure of illustrating a booklet for the IAAF which they were producing for an event they were holding for all gold medal winners of the 2012 Olympics. So…while I am not saying that I have proof that Usain Bolt himself has admired these drawings and thought they were awesome, it’s totally possible. Art direction by Studio Mikey for North&One.
This is a screenprint for a book project my print studio is putting together and I have a few extra copies up in my shop. It’s a dark blue print with a small fluorescent pink detail in the glasses. You can see more images & buy it here.
Each issue of Wrap seems to be better than the last and I’m really excited to be included in Nr. 7 which is all about collaboration and features kick–ass work by collectives such as Peep Show, Hvass & Hannibal, Golden Cosmos and many more. I illustrated the Big Question section. You can get your hands on this issue in their shop here.
A big thank you to Stylist Magazine for including my Fairy Tale Cards in their Spring Stationery picks! See the whole collection on their site here and buy the cards here.
I had the privilege of speaking at the Cheltenham Design Festival this year as part of a talk by Graphic BirdWatching, a blog dedicated to highlighting female designers who kindly gave up some of their presentation time for me to showcase my work. For a festival that feels like being in someone’s really friendly home they sure know how to put together a punchy line–up. Last year’s highlight was Stefan Sagmeister and this year didn’t disappoint either with Adrian Shaughnessy, Fred Deakin, Sir John Hegarty and Peter York speaking to name a few. It’s not every Saturday I get to hang out in the speakers lounge of a listed building with Neville Brody quietly eating crisps in the corner.
A selection of my cards and prints are now available from the lovely Material bookshop & gallery in Rivington Street. It’s full of great books, magazines and prints and can cater to any stationery needs!
My latest foray into book design has been this 300 page tome which had to be made in three days, crazy times! See more images in the design section here.
