Bust Summer Craftacular, London

We popped along to Bethnal Green's Bust Summer Craftacular last Saturday. This craft/art fair was bursting with lovely
quirky goods made by artists, designers and makers. It was very buzzy and inspiring. From quirky candy coloured bow
ties to beautiful ceramics. It was a mega hot day, but it was definately worth going to! Tatty Devine had a stall there,
and even had a small workshop going, so people could make up their own pendants. We had a little go too.
Some our a fave exhibitors were, Lost at Sea, By Louise, Invincible, Glazed&Confused, Bonbi Forest....

Eley Kishimoto Retrospective

We love this book, a collaboration between Eley Kishimoto and Singapore design publishers, Werk.
The book is a retrospective of fashion duo, Eley Kishimoto's work. Made up of lovely swatches of
Eley Kishimoto fabric prints, reminiscent stories, sketchy fashion drawings etc. These books are
limited edition and inspiring for both graphic design and fashion lovers.

We've got mail!

Not long now, we're still busy getting bits ready for our online shop launch.
A little parcel arrived for us the other day, it was Our WorkShop's newly designed and printed tea towel
sample sent through from the printers. We finally got to see it develop from our mac screens to fabric!
Also along with the tea towel parcel, we've also been receiving lots of other stock for Our Shop, slowly
the studio is feeling a little bit like cardboard city!

Old school reading habits

Found these really lovely book covers with bookmarks on icoeye.com Could this be the future of book
cover design? You can't get that on an iBook!

Opening soon!!

We're almost ready! We've been busy the past few months sourcing unique, quirky and gorgeous products and
also getting our own products into production to launch our online shop.

Sounds of the mind

We popped along to Selfridges, and were stopped by these striking installation windows.
Various musicians were commisioned by Selfridges, to create an installation, in each of the windows to illustrate one of their tunes
and to celebrate the Summer Festival season. Musicians included, Dizzie Rascal, Florence and the Machine, Empire of the Sun, XX etc.

Pick Me Up!

We popped along to the 'Pick Me Up' London's first contemporary graphic arts fair at Somerset House.
We've been looking forward to seeing this, and was totally inspired. A great selection of working illustrators and
graphic artists were showcasing their work, and also made available for the public to buy too. Our WorkShop's faves were
James Joyce, Melvin Galapon, Paula Castro and Rob Ryan.
PrintClub and PeepShow had set up their print tables, and were printing all day. And the legendary Rob Ryan had
transferred a small part of his studio into the exhibition space, to give us a glimpse of his whimsical, beautiful world.
A definate must-see!

Guitar heroes

Celeste Boursier-Mougenot's installation is showing at the Barbican Centre. Birds playing musical instruments!
