little studio

We got some exciting news before the end of term, we are going to be starting an on line shop! So I have started doing some researching into on line shops for inspiration.  

First - little studio, they do some lovely posters for grown ups and little people.

olivese

Second- Olivese who have just got a new line in their shop. I love the mixture of hand drawn and retro fabrics.

This is without doubt the best interiors site I have come across in a long time, possibly ever. If interiors is what does it for you, you have to check out this blog.

RBC blue water ad by Jon Klassen

I think this guy is brilliant. I came across him in Taschen's 'Illustration Now'. He was involved in Coraline and a project for U2 for starters. Jon Klassen's blog is jam packed with his amazing work. I love his printerly style. Oh and don't forget to watch the bit he did for the Winter Olympics!

If you are needing a giggle, pop on over to Gemma Correll's fantastic site. I just did and I am feeling much better now!

Post cards by Sanna Annuka 

On a recent trip to Oxford I bought a postcard designed by Sanna Annuka. She describes herself as "a half Finnish, half English illustrator and print maker with a love for nature and folklore". I enjoyed looking through her website and blog and following the links from her site. 
As part of my work for college I have to look at successful illustrators and their practices. I love her style and it was really interesting to see the diversity of the projects she has been involved in.

crazy life

Life has been a little bit crazy this week, from kids to blocked toilets and school closures to print workshops....and possibly most crazy of all, friends from Oz called to say that their Christmas present to me is a trip to Oz, this Christmas!!!! How great is that?
So just a quick catch up with some of the things I have been looking at. The following links and images are all people I have come across recently and whose work I like. Enjoy!
