Pick Up Line
Last week I went to Pick Me Up at Somerset House. I'd been a few years ago and wasn't overwhelmed by it, but someone at work strongly recommended it and I was so glad I gave it another chance. It was really inspiring, lots of designers and illustrators I hadn't come across before, and a really buzzy atmosphere. Here are some of my faves:

Superboy!
Thought I'd share a new illustration I did today (quite embarrassingly I have a pair of pyjamas not dissimilar to these... although mine didn't come with a cape):

The Skinny
Last month I had a great commission to illustrate an article in Slimming World magazine. Yesterday I was in the supermarket and thought I'd check to see if the new issue was out yet... and it is, so very excitedly bought it, et voilà:

Post Secret
Earlier this week I popped along to the RCA Secret exhibition - where the Royal College of Art ask lots of students and artists (some very famous) to make a piece of work on a postcard, and they're all sold for £45, and you only find out once you've bought one who created it. I think it's a great idea, and here are some of my favourites out of a whopping 2,700 on display):

Rolling Out The Red Carpet
A few months ago I did some illustrations of some of the Oscar dresses from last year, and then suddenly the 2013 Oscars came around, and I thought I'd do the same again... (prizes for anyone who can guess all the actresses!!) (well, not prizes, but glory).

Final(ly) Cut
This has been a long time coming... but I've finally stocked my online shop with my latest papercuts - the tile ones (see below), and these wordy ones. A couple of the quotes are from Einstein (which surprised me when I found them - I'd always assumed Einstein quotes would be sciency and unintelligible, but it turns out many of them are just lovely).

Stand and deliver
I've been working on some new illustrations for my agency Lemonade to use on their stand at the Bologna Children's Book Fair in March. Here's a preview!

Papercut preview
As mentioned in my last post, I've been working on some new tile-inspired papercuts. Here is my first batch, which will be on sale in my shop soon...

Christmas Tile
In the spirit of thriftiness, I made all my Christmas presents this year. Here's one - a tile-inspired papercut with gold leaf 'grout' for my sister Daisy. I'm planning on doing more of these to sell in my online shop early in the new year...

You Make It Real
Another wedding present papercut to share, this one has lyrics from the James Morrison song You Make It Real - super romantic!!

Oscars frocks!
I've been doing some work on my illustration portfolio, and thought it would be nice to show something a bit more fashion-y than usual... here are some Oscars frocks, hopefully the actresses ring a bell!

I Have Never...
It seems to be papercut city around here at the moment... here's a recent one for commissioned as a wedding present, quoting a poem by E. E. Cummings that was read during the ceremony. Doing these papercuts is giving me an education in romantic quotes and lyrics!

Art Attack
Last week I had an artistically inspiring couple of days, visiting the Affordable Art Fair in Battersea, and the Tim Walker exhibition at Somerset House (highly recommend both)! Here are my favourite artists from the AAF:
Phil Shaw (look closely at the titles!)
Rob Tucker (my top fave I think)
