My ace friends Ken and Jenna got married last week, and asked me to illustrate their table plan and table signs. Their theme was spliced names as they are known as Kenna so I had a lot of fun drawing Brangelina, TomKat and a few others, as well as the lettering for their table plan.

Congratulations Kenna!

It’s a site to help school aged kids learn how to gather and use facts from the National Library of Scotland. Worked with the excellent web designer Mark Haddon to create the character of Astrogirl, and her sidekick Mr Crab. Check out the whole site, and animations *here*.

Part of the brief was also to take dry infographics and turn them into something a bit more exciting for kids- the above is the old one, and below is my version.

Filofax flex challenge https://www.clairemurray.co.uk/blog/2012/filofax-flex-challenge/ Thu, 08 Nov 2012 15:06:23 +0000 http://www.clairemurray.co.uk/?p=1482

Well, here are my Filofax Flex drawings. Not so much a diary of a day, as some notes on Japan (aren’t foreign places different!!!!!). The planner was incredibly useful when I was away, and the paper is a dream to draw on and takes my marker pens well. As you can imagine, Japan was brilliant and I am glad I have this little visual reminder of all the fun things I saw and did. There will be lot’s more illustrators getting involved in the challenge, including my talented pal Kate Hazell, (I’ll post the Filofax link as soon as I have it).

Filofax Flex https://www.clairemurray.co.uk/blog/2012/filofax-flex/ https://www.clairemurray.co.uk/blog/2012/filofax-flex/#comments Wed, 24 Oct 2012 21:00:47 +0000 http://www.clairemurray.co.uk/?p=1472

Filofax have asked me to be part of their blogger drawing challenge, and it couldn’t have come at a better time- I’m off to Japan tomorrow…Huzzah! The A5 organiser they sent me has a perfect ‘list’ notebook, and has prevented at least two ‘WHERE IS MY PASSPORT/BOARDING PASS/INSURANCE DETAILS?!’ moments so far, so in my eyes is total holiday genius.

The challenge is to fill a page with drawings that represent my life as an illustrator in a day, and even though hanging in Japan is a far cry from my real day-to-day life, I can’t wait to record all the ace things I’m going to see. Especially the food- I cannot wait to try real proper everyday japanese sushi and noodles. I’ve even got a class booked to learn how to make sushi, so here’s hoping after that, I have enough fingers left to complete the challenge!

I will also be doing a give away of 2 A5 Filofax Flex’s later in the month, so keep your eyes peeled.
Sayonara!

Art and Science are brilliant. https://www.clairemurray.co.uk/blog/2012/art-and-science-are-brilliant/ Thu, 04 Oct 2012 13:29:14 +0000 http://www.clairemurray.co.uk/?p=1464

Went to the British Museum, and was there for about 2 hours and managed to see tonnes of ace stuff but barely scratched the surface of what’s there. This is a drawing of a stone engraving of a protection spirit from Nimrud, 865-860BC. It boggles my puny mind thinking about how old it is.

Then we went to the Huntarian Museum, where among other gruesome, but incredibly interesting science stuff there was a hen that had a human tooth grafted onto it’s head.
