Bodie & Fou interview
The lovely ladies at Bodie and Fou are stocking our prints, which we’re delighted about. They have some beautiful objects for sale, if I wasn’t creating artworks all day I’d love to be producing things like this…
We did a little Q&A interview for Bodie & Fou too if you’re interested:
It has been busy
…and I’ve let the blogging slip a bit.
We’ve had some great feedback from the press over the last month or two, so I’d like to share the news, from Elle Decoration May 09, The Sunday Times 12 April, Telegraph Style magazine 28 March. Yee-Haa!
Clowning around in Living Etc
Yippee, our work is currently in the Living Etc April issue. They were after a fun, typographic artwork and asked if they could have one of our ‘Count’ prints for their ‘clowning around’ feature. We’re delighted, the styling looks fab.
Red exhibition
The chance to exhibit in his native north east was unmissable. As a Jarrow lad, David was delighted when we were asked to take part in ‘Roses are Red’ an exhibition at the ‘Mushroom Works’ in Tyneside dedicated to the theme of love (www.mushroomworks.com). The exhibition runs until 21st March and is open Wednesday – Saturday. If you’re up that way, it is free entry and there are all kinds of artwork on show.
Iconic designs by Graziela
These cheeky fabric designs by Graziela are brilliant – they were originally launched in the 1970s and still look fabulous today. Nina Nägel, co-founded www.byGraziela.com and has breathed new life into her mother’s iconic designs. The ‘1,2,3’ and the ‘A,B,C’ patterns were a top hit in Germany and that is the design that Nina has chosen to relaunch with, but there are others in the pipeline too. Vote for your favorite pattern in the monthly draw to win a single duvet set. I’m torn between the ‘hearts’ and ‘lullaby’ designs…. mmm… I think the PJs are so fun too.
Kids Modern
A big thanks to Kids Modern, we had a fun and fruitful day at the design show at Dulwich College yesterday.
There were some really innovative designs, especially the punch’n'cuddle dolls, it was brilliant watching the little ones rush in and immediately pounce on this mad weeble like object (www.punchncuddle.com). We were really impressed with the ‘billy rocker’ stall too, partly because he was pretty much running a shop come nursery but mainly because of the brilliant product. A simple flat pack three piece rocking horse, constructed of cardboard, so you can create your own rocking horse, monster, scribble, anything goes and all for £28 (www.mr-kaliski.com). We bought one for little Wilf, though he’ll probably just want to eat it at the moment.
