Jme- Jamie Oliver's magnificent branding!

Has anyone else seen Jamie Oliver's Jme stores? Wandering round Clapham Junction on the weekend I came across this fabulous shop, kitchen and classroom! As my good friend Lucy and I were browsing the beautifully packaged jams, mustards and sauces we noticed a group of 8 people stuffing chickens and preparing vegetables at the back of the store! On sale was Jamie everything, including books and ready meals, and even kitchen utensils. I really love the labels on the jams and other jars, I wonder who did these? Possibly Jamie has sold out a bit, but I couldn't help but be tempted by the delicious looking olives and trendy kilner jar goodies!

Tap water labels for dothegreenthing.com!

Green Thing are a not for profit organisation that inspires people to live a greener life. They asked me to design a set of labels for anyone to stick onto their reused water bottle and advertise the contents as tap water, as part of world tap water week. You can download your own copy HERE, or you can upload your own designs to their Flikr group, I Love Tap.

A little bit of work and some time in Wales!

I made this picture for my good friends Mark, Sarah and Martha Hamilton, and thank goodness they really liked it! There is a label for each item in the picture translating it into French, le chat, la voiture, les nuages!

I also spent some time with Mr Palser around the Llanwit Major area of the vale of Glamorgan, above is Southerndown beach, one of my all time favourites, and below is us trying to get to grips with the camera on my new phone!

More Lithography!

Lithography at Stroud Print Co-op

This week I am taking part in a stone lithography course at Stroud Print co-op. The course is taught by Paul Cross, a master printmaker and has so far been fascinating! I am attending with my mum, artist Beth Jenkins, so far we have drawn onto the stones, and we will be printing them throughout the week, I hope to get some bright colours into the background of my Mecca Bingo image-maybe with some inks or gouache.

Cardboard Bermondsey Street

It has been too long since my last post, but happily it is because I have been really busy!! This latest work was done for a branding agency in London.

Chicken Run

This just conjures up an images of some very unhappy chickens! Found near petticoat market in Shoreditch, London. I was visiting Shoreditch as my work was on display at D&AD, a strange sort of trade fair for illustrators, designers and advertisers. 

It was a really great week of meeting people, showing off and browsing some fabulous vintage clothes shops on Brick lane!
