And Fly Away From Here

Merry Christmas Deer

Christmas is coming, it’s snowing outside and I’ve made a little paper Christmas deer! But I’m kicking myself because I can’t remember where I saw the calendar that inspired it. I’ll keep looking and hopefully it will come back to me.

You can download my A4 template (PDF) if you’d like to make your own, they’d do a great job as name cards on the Christmas dinner table.I’d recommend printing on heavyweight paper if you have some, otherwise they might be a little bit too flimsy to stand up, and that would be sad!

Merry Christmas!!

Jazz Posters

We went to see a Jazz Quartet at Norwich Arts Centre last week and found these brilliant posters in the bar, the Jazz was really good too! Sorry the quality is awful, it was dark and I only had my iphone but I thought they were still worth posting.

This fabulous hand-lettering is by Alison Carmichael for Twinings. I had to hack the second one up and rearrange it the other week, I feel a bit bad now I’ve realised it’s Carmichael’s work, I’m a big fan!

New markers

I’m testing out my new Letraset Promarkers, and I’m quite impressed, considering they’re at the lower end of the market. The colours are good and the pens flow well and blend quite smoothly. I’m thinking about buying the rest of the set. I like sets.

Please hold

We have a Brown and White holding page! A special mention for Rich, who spent ages in Illustrator tidying up the outlines, well done sweetie. Full site coming soon (depending on how busy we are)…

Unconcealed

I don’t go to art galleries as often as I probably should but yesterday I went to see Unconcealed at the Norwich Art School gallery. It was the work of three artists, Cadere, Peter Downsbrough and Jacques Charlier. I found myself looking at photographs shot in the 70s, of people looking at photographs, arranged in exactly the same way as the photographs I was looking at, fabulous! Downsbrough’s artist books were presented on a shelf with some great cube bookends and the archive documentation accompanying the exhibition had some really lovely examples of 70s type.

Boo!

I love love love this pumpkin typeface! Designed and drilled by Pinched Post. Found on Grafik Magazine’s blog.

Good Earth Teas

The Good Earth Tea tv ad caught my eye last night, the animation style is lovely.

They have quite a sweet little site too, the tag and the label in the soil background (bottom left) are nice little touches. And I’m loving the colour palette.

On Chromeography

I took a few shots of a Morris Mini Minor back in the summer. I didn’t think too much of them at the time but Rich submitted one to Chromeography, a site full of beautiful chrome lettering and they’ve added it to their collection.

Art book

Lovely Cass Art Kids book found on Pentagram. I’ll put that on the Christmas list.
