I only got this book a few days ago and it’s already found its way into my favourites! I’ve always thought Alphabet books were quite special as they are, in a way, the first book. Bruno Munari’s ABC is clever and witty, first published in 1960 its playful use of colours and textures is so refreshing and inspiring.
I was showing it to my illustrator friend earlier today and she fell in love too, it’s definitely a book to keep close at hand and dip into for inspiration.
C for a Crow
L for a Long Leaf, a Leaf, a Little Leaf and a Lemon
This is the view from my desk, the two other corners of my room. It took long enough but we’re finally settled, walls are painted and I even enrolled a few days ago. It’s getting colder in London every day and days are getting shorter too. Roll on Autumn!
I made it to London in one piece and we finally have internet in the flat, yay. To celebrate I wanted to share a few pictures from the private view in Barcelona that CaiJia and Las Coleccionistas have just sent me, I hear it went very well and so many people showed up!
I was helping out with the private view preparations (I spied quite a few bottles of bubbly, Bach* no less! haha) and I took a second to make this video of one of my pieces, the Vacancies Book.
A photo collection of Vacancy/No Vacancy signs that I took in Blackpool back in June.
I’m heartbroken that I won’t be able to attend myself as I’m taking a plane at the crack of dawn back to London tomorrow. Oh well! Good luck to everyone involved, I’m sure it will be grrreat!
I’m part of ‘Ciutat: Exposició Col·lectiva’ a group exhibition in La Sastreria, Barcelona. I’ve been busy busy getting everything ready for the private view next friday. I made 4 pieces all based around my experience of moving to the biggest city in Europe. I’ll be posting pictures soon.
Las Coleccionistas have made a wonderful job curating it, thank you for inviting me ladies!. The colourful posters are the work of design mastermind Maria de Gibert.
If you happen to be in Barcelona this friday, don’t miss it!
This is my new blog, I’ll be posting about my ongoing projects, the inspiration and interesting people I find along the way and the ups and downs of life in London.
