Tokyo 2009

Some snaps from my holiday/research trip!
If anyone is heading over to Tokyo in the near future don't miss out on a visit to a gorgeous restaurant called Kurage, at 1-19-8 Jin'nan, Shibuya-ku. Gorgeous food! (See Pudding pic). The top image is from an exhibition of strange but beautiful dolls by an artist called Araki Keiko.
Look how happy I am at the Shinzi Katoh store at Sunshine City...he's my hero :)

Rob Ryan Mug

My friend bought me this beautiful mug from the Rob Ryan shop in Columbia Road, London.
I love it so much!!

Before I go...Paperchase Work

Here are some snaps of my characters on new Paperchase Xmas bits and bobs. They've done loads of different products using the Penguin especially!

Tokyo

I'm taking a trip back to Tokyo next week so there won't be any blogging for a couple of weeks. I will have a few goodies to share with you when I'm home I'm sure!!

Artist: Graham Carter

Another favourite from the Brighton Art Fair was Graham Carter.
He is clearly inspired by all things Japanese, much like myself!

Brighton Art Fair 2009

I popped into the annual Art Fair in Brighton last saturday and was so inspired by all the creative talent in that one room!
These two cards were from Orlanda Broom, who creates the most beautiful abstract landscapes. I love her use of colour. www.orlandabroom.co.uk

Spitalfields Sunday Market

I headed up to London for a day of shopping yesterday. My favourite place to go on a sunday is Spitalfields and Brick Lane markets. Full of inspirational bits and bobs, loads of new designers have stalls here, and it's so creative..makes you want to get your sewing kit out!

Peaceable Kingdom Press
