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".

The never ending talent that is Johanna Basford has astounded me yet again..... Recently she attracted attention from Creative Review with her re-drawn front cover of their magazine and now she's launched #TwitterPicture, "a unique concept merging creativity with social networking platform, Twitter.
On Wednesday 14th and Thursday 15th October, She invited the Tweeters to get involved and help create the world's first Twitter inspired artwork. The torrent of tweets came thick and fast, draining several dozen of her beloved fine liners within the first 3 hours.The result is an inky, hand drawn snap shot of Twitter imaginations over a 48 hour period. The weird and the wonderful, the quirky, the bizarre, the emotional and the political are all captured in delicately penned detail to form this most eclectic of artworks."
Just in time for the Xmas season, Jamie Oliver Home & Lifestyle Gifts is a fab and stylish looking site promoting great ideas for the home and the designers that make them. Check it all out here, and keep an eye out for the great graphics featured on the site as shown above.

A great blog to inspire you this weekend, Ink + Wit and check out this gorgeous calendar by illustrator Tara Hogan. Enjoy and have a lovely weekend!!
I was thrilled today when i received an invite to a Lulu & Iris exhibition opening in November.
Louise Anderson, the wife of Liberty Radio Breakfast Show presenter, Richard Anderson, today releases the date of her first UK art showcase.
Entitled ‘You and I’, the showcase takes the form of an exhibition featuring exclusive artwork inspired by the beauty in everyday life and how it shapes and influences us (the human being).
With a background in fashion design and having designed for Top Shop, Hollister and Thomas Pink; Louise takes illustration into a new dimension by introducing inspirations from vintage garments, children stories and the sense of nostalgia and belonging to the countryside.
Having sparked admirable and controversial attention from her illustration of model Lily Cole, Louise is set to leave attendees in awe, shock, mesmerized and intrigued as she introduces the world to a new form of illustration.
“Throughout my artistic career, I have always created pieces that broke traditional moulds and want to inspire artists and attendees to look outside of the box and take a journey of artistic creativity to see the world through my eyes, hence the reason why I called my company Lulu and Iris. Lulu is my nickname and Iris for my eyes” Louise Anderson, Creator of Lulu and Iris.
The launch will be on Saturday 21st November, doors will open at 4pm and will be held at Tiffinbites, 23 Russia Row, Off Gresham Street, St. Paul’s, London EC2V 7PG.
Lulu and Iris is set to create a storm in the art world and attendees are advised to arrive early as places are limited.
For examples of Lulu and Iris’ previous work please visit www.luluandiris.com.
P.S Tigerprint wishes Louise much success with the show!
