I recently came across the work of Khristian A Howell and also her blog parapluies et soleil.

Khristian has been working as a surface designer since May 2008 and cites her inspiration as her love of culture, travel and all things french.

"Khristian's surface designs and photography evoke her love of line, pattern and balance. She works to create modern images with a sense of romantic grace".

Parapluies et soleil features fantastic finds and links and is a must for your daily inspiration. Khristian very kindly provided us with examples of some of her recent work which you can see above but be sure to check out her website where as well as divine patterns Khristian has some wonderful photography.

Enjoy!

Xmas Food Photography Competition - Winner Announced

By Michelle

The judges have now selected a winner for the recent Xmas Food Photography Competition and the winner is this rather humourous concept by Michelle above. It was great to see typical food humour challenged by placing it in scenarios such as this terrifying example above. Well done Michelle.

In addition the judges also selected the following runners up in no particular order:

By Katie

A beautiful and classic image which would be very commercial. Bet they tasted great too - well done Katie.

By Annaj

Another humourous entry which really utilised different techniques such as the clothing to create this cute character. Well done Anna.

Many thanks to everyone who entered and we do hope you enjoyed the brief. In addition this competition saw us using flickr for the first time so don't forget to check it out and leave comments etc.

P.S the next competition has now been launched, Photographic Humour so check it out.

One of my colleagues is a fan on Jennifer Judd-McGee's illustrations and pointed me in the direction of her blog and etsy shop. What a wonderful style which jennifer describes here:

"i love patterns, paper, the many lovely forms i see in my coastal surroundings each day, fancy pens, shades of gray, letterpressed things, independent artists, vintage stitch books, mid century modernism... there is an interview here that might tell you more if you're interested".
