New Website

I've been working on a proper website for Letterfest and finally its been launched. So from now on the i'll be updating the blog on that site, not this. Go take a look for my latest products, news and events. Happy shopping!

Etsy, etsy, etsy

Have been shopping crazy on Etsy recently - getting in early for Christmas pressies (or thats my excuse anyway). And have been loving some of the gorgeous type inspired gifts out there. Heres some of my favourites:
Letterpress Art Prints by YeeHaw
Alphabet poster by kaching design
Notebook by peep paper
Custom clay bowl by palomas nest

Supermarket Sweep

I also got invited to put my work on the fantastic Supermarket. Another site showcasing gorgeous work by artists and designers around the world. And a week later I was included on one of their emails to members (bottom row)

Old Style Alphabet

I've been messing about on the computer recently coming up with these gorgeous signs. Based on old calligraphy drawings, I've created my own in Illustrator on the mac. Seven down - only another 19 to go!!!!

Ebay mania

I'm very excited - I won this vintage letter stamp set on Ebay last night (although I did have to set my alarm for 4am to make sure I got it!!) Can't wait to have a play :)

Ceramic Type

Whilst surfing the web at the weekend, I cam across this gorgeous work from Ceramic artist Stephanie Dearmond, based in the US.

Alphabet Art for cool kids

Just put up on Etsy my new art prints. I've been working on these for a while trying to get them right, and I'm really pleased with the results. I've drawn the icons on the computer, inspired by retro 50's designs. They'll look cool in any kids bedroom.
