Thanks to everyone who has entered the Fashion Illustration Competition so far and the very best of luck to you all!

By Ismoyo
Ismoyo recently entered the Fashion Illustration Competition with the great entry above and so I had a look at her blog. I really like her style of strong and bold illustration and the craft/handmade element. Be sure to have a look at her site and I cannot wait till her online shop opens too!
Heidi Rodriguez is a
graphic designer who does some really quirky and unusual work. Her
website is quite simple but really effective and found it through the
blog Itsnicethat.com.
Worth checking both out!
For all you Grand Designs fans out there this weekend is the last chance to catch Grand Designs Live at London Excel. Some of you may have caught the live program on Channel Four this week featuring the house Kevin and his team have been building and tonight sees the The Grand Designs Awards 2008.
I will be heading down to check it out Saturday so will keep you posted.
Have a great weekend!!!
Louise Cunningham - Easter Competition Winner 2008
Here at Tigerprint were all really looking forward to meeting Louise Cunningham next week who recently won the Easter Cute Character Competition. Louise is joining us on Monday for a two week placement which we hope she will really enjoy and find beneficial. Whilst Louise is here I hope to report on her progress and experience on the placement that is if she has time as there is lots planned for her to do! ( We will of course let Louise have a break!)
I am sure you will all join me in wishing Louise lots of luck with her placement and look forward to hearing back from her. In the meantime be sure to check out Louise's website and brand new blog.
Great news - yesterday I was lucky enough to sit down with one of our studio managers here at Tigerprint and have a look through the Fashion Illustration entries. I have listed the feedback under the entries in the Competition Gallery so please feel free to have a look.
As the team at Tigerprint are very busy they do try to select a few different entries to comment on that may assist you all in your design work so please do not be disappointed if you don't receive any feedback it's not a negative reflection on your work. I will try to get some more feedback from the designer's here but we are always happy for you guys to pass comments on each other's work. Unfortunately with the layout of the site at present it is not possible for you to leave your comment's directly under the designer's entry. However if you want to leave a comment about the entry within the competition pages please select the 'leave comment' button or alternatively you can email your comment's to Vic at vlem2@hallmark-uk.com and I will glady transfer them to the site.
Thanks !!!
The Fashion Illustration deadline is fast approaching but you still have till midnight Thursday 15th May 2008 to email your entries.

To see the entries so far check out the Competition Gallery and the Competition Page for the full competition brief.

There has been a previous post about the work of Laurie Cinotto but I was recently checking out Laurie's blog and came across this really quirky gift idea. In Laurie's own words:
'Craig celebrated his birthday this weekend. This year, I decided to
give him a tree. I wanted him to pick it out, so I made a tiny gift
certificate and incorporated it into a collage encased in a box'.
Be sure to check out Laurie's blog and etsy site.
Vicky Riley
Just received some more Fashion Illustration entries and among them was one from Vicky Riley. Vicky is a fashion design graduate who has a very cute, quirky and girly style. Check out Vicky's website for a feast of beautiful purses, bags and trinkets etc.

Just found this interesting blog via I heart Photograph.
The concept is simple you scan the contents of your pocket or bag along
with a section of your face and upload it for everyone to see at Face Your Pockets! You can check out everyone else's pockets and bags and faces here.
N.B be careful not to look directly into a scanner as the light is
harmful or infact that anyone is near by as they may well avoid you for
the rest of the day.
Just found this really nice blog full of cute illustrations. Kristiana has a really unique style of illustration and she is definately one to add to your list of inspiration!
Illustration Friday is a really cool site for lots and lots of different reasons but something which may interest those of you who are illustrators is that they set a new topic each Friday which you can submit a post to linking your illustration and site. It is a really great site so be sure to take a look!
Just came across this french website which features some really impressive graphics and type etc, worth a look!
Heather Smith Jones
Just found these on etsy by an American artist, Heather Smith Jones who painstakingly labours over each individual piece to create the pinholes!
