New Designers 2013

I know it was a while ago go but just updating on New Designers 2013 which took place in Islington back in July. Really busy and really enjoyable few days and a great opportunity to meet with people from the industry. Lots of talented graduates showing there too and it was interesting to see the huge range in styles and what other people have been working on for the last few years. For the show, I exhibited a few of my favourite pieces – some of which are below. I mostly included lino and mono printing and I aimed to show a range of illustrations from book covers through to some patterns.

I also got a few mentions which is great, including a mention in Digital Arts online and also by an illustrator Andrew Berwick. http://andrewberwick.wordpress.com/2013/07/08/new-designers-2013; www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/news/creative-business/uk-grad-shows-2013-new-designers; www.ameliasmagazine.com/art/new-designers-2013-illustration-review-the-best-graduate-illustrators/2013/07/25

As part of the project I also designed a poster for one of the books. I love honeysuckle and left it reflected the summery feel of the book.

Here are some book cover which I recently did. They are in lino which I have then compiled digitally.

and once again to continue the food theme....but for rabbits this time....
