From basic shapes to intricate lace work, i can truly appreciate the time and effort and hand cramping that goes into making such unique art. I was inspired to create something unique for my friend Liss, on her birthday.

I had seen these:

and decided to make her this topper for her gift….


She was pretty happy with that!

Ive had some very normal and classic names and some really wonderfully unique ones. I thought ‘Gunnar’ and ‘Gampbell’ were really cool names for a brother and sister. Campbell is a nature girl at heart and loves her bunnies and her brother Gunnar is the budding mechanic/engineer. Their mum chose a beautifully elegant colour palette for each of her kids.

Just shows how much time and love goes into their project and they are very appreciative of the time and love that goes into the poster i create for them. Here’s Samantha’s poster, who has a very sweetly decorated bedroom thanks to her talented Mum.

Samantha’s nick name is ‘moon-pie’ so her mum asked me to incorporate a moon in there somewhere, i hope little Samantha has a smile on her face  at night when she sees her giggling moon.

The first three, pictured below, were for brothers Billy, Buddy and Harry- fans of transport, space, superheroes and robots and fairytales.

Then their lovely mum,  Kim contacted me to let me know she was adding a little girl to their tribe and ordered a poster for her soon to be newborn, in sweet colours with birds and butterflies:

I love that little knight on the horse and the rockets too. What would you have on your kids posters?

Oh and you’ll also need the sheer genius of the Belenko! team who hail from Ukraine. They took a lovely gift shop and hand drew all the baroque features onto white curfaces.

Yes even the chandelier illustration on the lighting fixtures were hand drawn! How breathtaking!

He has a uniquely retro design asthetic and a wonderful appreciation of colour, composure and texture. Heres a sample of what he’s did for the BAFTAs. Can you pick the movies nominated for Best Picture from the poster design?

Did you work them all out? Appearing in order: “Up in the Air”, “An Education”, “Hurt Locker”, “Avatar” and “Precious”. Ive seen all of the nominated films except “An Education”, so far my pick for best film is Precious. The story will tear your heart up in little pieces and then tape it back up miraculously. Hurt Locker is also fantastic, Katherine Bigelow is an amazing director! There was one point during this movie that The Husband and I were literally sitting on the edge of the couch with baited breath. Go and see both these films, before the Oscars, if you can. Two thumbs up! For Tavis Coburn too!!

I managed to come across Darren Drew Design and fell in love! The front page alone made me swoon!

Then there was the rest of his work:

The “Sunny with a slight chance of Helvetica” is wonderfully thought out and that punchy red just makes it a sure favourite of mine.
