Soon soon

a visit is due

gelato + douglas

Some quick pink love from Bologna: Pompelmo rosa gelato (amazing!) and dark chocolate (better). They don't go together; they're two separate heavens. And a bike called Douglas. I think my pink-phobia is officially over.

Sunday

A week in Johannesburg reminded me of my 'green pool' undergrad illustrations (a theme perhaps not yet exhausted). It's a spooky city and I love it.

I'm trying out new media. Well, old media in new ways. Unfortunately this little paper city got squashed, but I'm working on a bigger, better one...

Toe socks

Design and the City 2011 at Helsinki Summer School was special!

I have plenty to share from my month in Finland. 

Here's a quick sketch in the meantime. 

Liisa Jokinen founder of Hel-Looks chatted to us about her street style finds and sent our class on a mission to find our own 'image of Helsinki'. To me this describes the height of exotic: white havaianas on black and white toe socks. I spotted this on a lady at the second last bus stop of my daily Helsinki commute to the university.

Helsinki is bringing it. It's stretching my mind, keeping me awake late, affirming design, making me feel gentle - if you watched the Temple Grandin biopic you'll know what i mean by feeling gentle. So...yes. Finland is yes and Helsinki is yes. So far so good.

Finland is yes

a londonish illustration

Michelle was so kind to have me do the poster/flyer illustration for her sister's new theatre piece showing in October in London. I had such fun with this one!
