Jonathan Wilson

Last night me and my husband had a date night. We went to see Jonathan Wilson at the fantastic venue The Ruby Lounge. He was amazing, slightly marred by the t**t in a hat stood behind us singing along (loudly and badly). We moved. In all a good night. Although it was the first time we had been out for food since starting my diet in the new year so that was a bit of a struggle thinking of somewhere to eat. We ended up in Papa Gs where I had a lovely penne pesto chicken dish, which I'm telling myself was low fat...well, at least I skipped dessert!

Love Letters

Some of the orders that came in for Christmas. (The ones that I remembered to photograph anyway)

If you like what you see, you can order one of your very own right here. They can be painted in any colour combination that you desire.

Bahamas

Love this guy.

Zim & Zou.

How awesome are these?

A new follower on Instagram had some of these images on her profile, so intrigued to find out more I did a little Google search (good old Google), and this is what I found. They are the work of Lucie Thomas and Thibault Zimmerman from French graphic design studio Zim & Zou. They are from their Back To Basics project and are made entirely from coloured PEFC papers.

I love this walkman.

It even has a cassette.

That fits inside the Walkman!!

I also love this Leica style camera.

Which also has 36mm film!!

I absolutely love these pieces, the colours and attention to detail are amazing. If you want to see more of the project have a look at their Behance profile.

Jenson Button

Last Monday we had the pleasure of seeing Jenson Button drive an F1 car through the streets of Manchester. It sounded amazing!

Oaken Lee.

I have been a fan of Jake Flowers for a while now and am pleased to say that I can now call him my friend. So I was thrilled when he contacted me to ask if I would help to design the sleeve for his new project Oaken Lee. Jake wrote, recorded and mixed the whole EP in his 500 year old attic accompanied by Will Gauden on bass.

Jake sent me this illustration by Hetty Randle and said he wanted it for the cover.



I thought that the amazing skull illustration was lost in the text and Jake said that the EP had quite a stripped back sound so I removed the text and choose a nice script to use underneath. The quality of the skull really stands out now from the white space.
We decided to keep the sleeve black and white and choose red for the CD.



It really is a lovely EP but don't take my word for it, I love Jake so I'll tell you anything! Check it out for yourself here you won't be disappointed!

Alex Kopps

I saw this artist's work featured on Design Sponge this week and was instantly smitten.
The artist is Alex Kopps

I love the use of colour, and the textural quality of the paint. I especially love the pattern details and that the pieces are made up from individual blocks giving them a patchwork feel. Absolutely stunning. I would love to have them on my wall.
