Illustration Crush

By Anonymous -





Before the big world wide web days, or even before blogland days, to get some creative inspiration, to see who was doing what in the world of design and illustration, I had to spend a lot of time and money on beautiful but expensive books and magazines. Now it is so easy to find new inspiration -just by a swish of my wacom pen, I am taken in to a whole world of lovely fresh images to drool over. The images I found today belong to Clare owen. I love her 'make do and mend' poster (that was in a Frankie mag a while ago) and have it up in my studio, so it was lovely to find her web site, blog and shop today. What a talented young lady.

I had Contry Style Magazine come and do a shoot at my home in May... a few months later and the issue finally hits the shelves. Yay! I am very pleased with the way it all turned out. Sharyn Cairns took some wonderful photographs and captured our home beautifully, while Virginia Imhoff wrote a lovely piece about all the bits and pieces in our home and how much we have traveled etc. The ' where there's tea there's hope ' print got a big feature in the shoot and on the editors letter, which we are so pleased about and the orders have already coming rolling in. Ooooh I must say it is quite a thrill to see my own home and work in print, I am most flattered!
