Stripey walls

On a recent trip to Amsterdam, I came across this super stripey wall in a restaurant. Strips of varying colours added some vibrancy to the interior of this huge open plan room. Love it!

Illumination Incredible No.1

...wandering the streets of London at the moment is pure a visual pleasure. These are the lights hanging along the streets around the seven dials. How wonderful? More to come soon of my favourite festive findings.

Wonderland wall stickers...

...are now available from FatBananaFeet! Go here to pick up your Space, Birdie, Eden or Ocean wonderland wall stickers. Hours of colouring fun to be had- use them with wax crayons or colouring pencils. Super duper eh.

Oblong Gallery invites everyone to an Art and Craft Pop-Up Shop displaying an eclectic range of objects for sale made by various artists and makers. Including all the ChickP ranges! We (myself and my friend Melina who runs Oblong) have transformed the gallery into a magical shopping wonderland.

Brand new Button Badges...

Please Santa...

...can I have one of these? P.S. the orange one of course! ta x buy them here!

We Make...

...is happening tomorrow! Myself and a few other like-minded makers decided we needed an affordable place to sell our wares in London. Soon we realised it was limited and expensive so we formed a little collective and here we are on our second Art and Craft show! We Make is about smaller, independent makers being able to sell their stuff, how they want to and has the 'lets just do it ourselves!' ethos. Join us tomorrow for a jam packed festive day...carol singers...craft demos...knitting...mince pies...and of course a vast array of handmade goodies to buy! more info on our blog here.

Busy Busy Busy...

Hello! well I havn't made it on here in a while. I have been super busy preparing for various up and coming events, which I shall be posting on here shortly.
In the meantime I urge you all to entertain yourselves on this little gem of a site...side splitting fun!

Jim Lambie's Tacky Floor

I love Jim Lambie's ZOBOP! piece from the exhibition at the Moma. Color Chart celebrates the lush beauty that results when contemporary artists assign color decisions to chance or a readymade source. The exhibition features work by some forty artists ranging from Ellsworth Kelly and Gerhard Richter to Sherrie Levine and Damien Hirst.

I bought this postcard at the Sunday UpMarket on Brick Lane. I'm going to send it to my Grandma, who, like me is an extreme hoarder, so is always dreaming of storage!

I'd like to live in their Hood...

Such a great little promo video from Manchester based creative company The Neighbourhood as they put it "...we combine imaging, animation, technology and sharply focused craftmanship to cultivate lucid dreams and luminous futures of course!... Stuff that jumps off the page or screen, sells ideas, realizes visions, and makes you smile." They certainly do that! Their website is really super dooper too so go check it out!

The man with the Kaleidoscope Eyes

Alan Aldridge is by far my most favourite illustrator. Well known for his hypnotic, colourful designs ranging from the celebrated book The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics and the film poster for Warhol’s Chelsea Girls, as well as groundbreaking covers for Penguin books. Some rather delightful imaginings within illustrated children’s books such as the much loved The Butterfly Ball.
Lucky for us who love his work, last week saw the opening of an exhibition - the first complete UK retrospective of his work. Alan Aldridge – The man with Kaleidoscope Eyes runs from 10 October to 25 January at the Design Museum.
