Something Fishy going on...

Hello-I've been a bit busy these last couple of weeks preparing new stock for the River and Fish Festival that's been happening over the bank holiday weekend here in Falmouth.  I thought I'd just post a couple of photos of the stall as well as some production shots of some of the bags being screen printed in my garage. The newest line is based around the theme of Fish and joins my I ♥Tea and Doodle-Day range. It incorporates Tea-towels, Tote bags and prints as well as fridge magnets and badges. I have a few more images on my FB page if you like to take a nosey!

Andy Smith Illustration

I love receiving things in the post and here is a recent package I received from a quirky illustrator called Andy Smith. As well as designing delightfully bright postcards, zines and posters he has also screen-printed a number of little books- and the one I'm tickled with is called My Nose Smells Funny. Filled with a lovely cast of animals all with grumbles not too dissimilar from humans this little book has been hand printed in an edition of 200 with vibrant colours and fun drawings. Suitable for all ages and perhaps in particular for a grumpy somebody in your life! Check out Andy Smith's work over on his website here.

Creature, creature

Hello- just a wee blog note today to let you know I did some mini banners on the weekend for the online art mag Creaturemag featuring my mice and teapots! Creaturemag even published their own blog on them so I was  pretty chuffed to read it -you can read it here. 

Creaturemag for your info is:

"an artist run online art magazine publishing inspiring illustrative work and great resources for upcoming Creatives. We encourage your involvement" 

If you're a fellow creative it's a great way to get involved and get your work on show- you can even follow their tweets @creaturemag or like their page on facebook here.

Haus Stories

I've been wanting to have the opportunity to do a fuller illustration than just characters and so here is my submission to the Haus Stories Project- set up by Sandra Dieckmann. Artists/illustrators are invited to draw a new storey for one giant house. Having spent some time living in Hong Kong I was used to seeing neighbours washing and paraphernalia hanging from the windows and so used that as a starting point. I think my favourite bits are the stuffed toys especially big ted as he looks like he performing some death defying stunt!
