MARCUS WALTERS

I am a little obsessed with the work of Marcus Walters. I love the simplicity of his designs, and the way he uses shapes and colours to make really striking pieces. His work is all over the place, I really like his posters and work he's done for the V&A.

RED CAP CARDS

As with most things these days I discovered Red Cap Cards through pinterest. They are a company based in California, who promote the work of illustrators, artists and designers. They have a really lovely collection of cards, so head on over and take a look at them all.

Below are a few of my favourites, Anke Weckmann

LEEDS COLLEGE OF ART DEGREE SHOW

At the beginning of the week I headed back up north to check out the Leeds College of Art Printed Textiles degree show. It was weird being back, as it's three years ago that I had my degree show up and was getting ready for new designers, how time flies!

Anyway the show looked amazing, it all looked so professional, I was really impressed.

Below are a few that stood out.

Emma Burton work looked really good, check out her website. Her drawings are really impressive.

Lucy Palmer specialises in children's designs. Her character work is really good, and she had made a range of products for her show.
Take a look at her website.

Elizabeth Rose's work really stood out because of her beautiful screen prints, there seems to be much more of it this year. Glad to see people taking advantage of the amazing print facilities at the college. Again her drawings are really strong, I really like how she mixes animals with everyday scenes and houses. Check out her blog.

Below is the work of Tasha markham, I really love her drawings and use of colour. I think they work really well on children's clothing, see more on website.

GEO, GEO

Hello, so once again it has been a really long time since I last blogged anything, I have been super busy which is good.

As you may have noticed I've changed the look of the blog again (I get bored of things quickly). I also impressed myself my adding the pinterest feed to the blog, which involved very basic coding. I did it with the help of this amazing website code it pretty, head over there and have a look, lots of helpful stuff.

Below are some geometric designs I've been working on for some various products. It's a little bit different to what I usually do but I love designing geos, I like being able to mess around and play around with the shapes.
