Paris

Hello ..... Is there anyone still there?
I know its been ages and if your reading this then thanks for your patience.
Lots of things have been taking up my time, the writing course, a summer sale at my online shop and as you can see from above, a recent trip to Paris. I will slowly but surely be telling you about lots of interesting shops and designers I came across in the wonderful city of lights and of course updating you with interesting products and events on home soil.
As ever I would love to hear any comments or suggestions, so do get in touch.

Excuses Excuses

Hello and accept my apologies, I know I have neglected this space for a while and feel an explanation is needed. I have been busy studying a writing course which I know should fit in nicely with writing a blog but I just needed to focus on one thing for a while. I am half way through the course now and so will be back posting again soon. In the meantime feel free to send any comments or suggestions to me.

622 Press

Kristin Joiner has asked me to pass on some information about her work and I am delighted to do so as these lovely stationery designs need to be shared. Kirstin is the owner, operator, designer and general workhorse for 622 Press, a letterpress studio she began almost a year ago. Specializing in note cards and limited edition prints, the illustration style is modern and elegant. Take a look at the website and treat yourself in the shop.
P.S Take a look at this interesting project.

Blair Lent

I love the subtle colours & textures used in wonderful childrens book illustrations by the late Blair Lent.

This is an interesting article.

Nous Vous

Wonderful work at Nous Vous, a creative studio focusing on graphic design and illustration based in Leeds . visit the site to see the work and shop for some amazing paper products.

Emily Forgot

I love the current kaleidoscopic installations in the windows of Selfridges, especially the bold and fun "Zoot Allure" by graphic artist Emily Alston aka Emily Forgot.

Hussein Chalayan

I have recently visited the Hussein Chalayan exhibition at the Design Museum. The craftsmanship of pattern cutting and innovative use of unusual materials is amazing.
