These are some illustrations I did for the latest DLD magazine, which is out now, bringing together the many fantastic topics discussed and presented at the last DLD women's conference. It was great to work on such an extensive editorial commission with my illustrations running trough the whole magazine. You can flick through it here.

I will be showing some prints at this group show opening Sunday18th December. You are invited to join us for the private view 4-9pm ... if you haven't been to the Victor Wynd gallery / The Last Tuesday Society... you're in for a treat!

2011-12-01T20:22:00.009Z

I was asked to do some Christmasy illustrations for a pop up shop in Hong Kong run by Classified, a western style Deli. The designs were inspired by my childhood spent in Germany, where the opening of the 'Weihnachtsmarkt' with its mulled wine, sugared almonds and fresh gingerbread hearts brought a big smile to everyone in town! Here are some pictures. They have a nice little website, animating some of my illustrations.. take a look here.

2011-10-28T09:42:00.003+01:00

I received a fresh off the press copy of this book last week from Sian Wilson, a great designer at Little Brown Books. I did the illustration and she applied it to the dust jacket... maybe a xmas present idea?

2011-10-13T11:59:00.002+01:00

Just came back from the most fantastic wedding in Bavaria! Check this fantastic tent with hundreds of handmade paper tissue pompoms and rose petal covered fairy lights, also made of tissue paper... produced by the bride herself (this picture only shows half the length of the tent!) I added some llustrations for menu and signage... all based on the invite I had designed for them (see previous blog entry).

2011-07-25T14:17:00.005+01:00

These collage figures of mine were used on banners outside the Bavarian National Museum in Munich to advertise an event organized by DLD and Siemens to celebrate the Women's Football World Cup last month. The illustrations were taken from the invite for the event which I co-designed with my good friend and talented artist Rina Donnersmarck.

2011-06-13T11:00:00.005+01:00

My splash page design for the monsters' website this month. Take a look at some super work by this illustration collective here. We each have a slightly different focus and approach and as a whole offer a wide rage of styles. Don't hesitate to contact each illustrator individually for commissions.

2011-06-08T17:06:00.005+01:00

Leela's Book by fantastic writer Alice Albinia is out now, published by Harvill Secker in a beautiful hard cover edition with die-cut dust jacket.

These Litho/collages will be part of the EASTERN LIGHTS Exhibition which is showing contemporary prints by members of the Printmakers Council at the M.P Birla Millenium Art Gallery - Bharatya Vidya Bhavan Centre from May 18th to May 24th 2011 (4A Castletown Road, London W14 9HE)

I spent a day in the print studio last week, exploring my recently discovered method of using photo-litho plates in a collage way of working. The thin aluminium plates can be cut and inked up in small sections, then composed, overlapping in parts to construct a collage which is then run through the press to take a single print. The shapes are then taken apart to be re-inked and put together in a new composition. I am very excited about this technique as each print is a one-off and the separate elements can shift during printing to reveal a surprising outcome. It also gives me the flexibility of re-using parts, which isn't possible when working on a paper collage, where the pieces are glued down in one spot once the composition is decided on.

2011-04-11T18:42:00.004+01:00

An illustration for a 30th birthday party... it wasn't used in the end, I still quite like it.

Mit der Mappe in der Hand.

Nach dem blauen Himmel hoch

Sah er, wo die Schwalbe flog,

Also daß er kerzengrad

Immer mehr zum Flusse trat.

Und die Fischlein in der Reih'

Sind erstaunt sehr, alle drei.

Noch ein Schritt ! und plumps ! der Hans

Stürzt hinab kopfüber ganz ! -

Die drei Fischlein, sehr erschreckt,

haben sich sogleich versteckt.

I saw my lovely cousin Macey (10) last week and she is creating this magnificent group of little friends, all with names and varying outfits, sometimes with occupations noted on the back. The game: spot the bunny, spot all red tops and blue trousers, spot twins, spot blushed cheeks, etc. they remind me of my swimmers (see blog entry 22 Sept)
