Animal Alphabet Limited Edition Screen Prints by me

http://www.ketchuponeverything.co.uk/category/prints

I have been working on my Animal Alphabet screen prints in my spare time over 9 months (literally my babies!) during my day off in a lovely studio in Peckham, London.

 They are in limited editions of 100. I took inspiration from my collection of 50's & 60's children's books, which has helped give them a really modern retro style.

It was a really exciting project as it encouraged me to develop creativity within the restriction imposed by the letters of the alphabet and the requirement that each animal had to be doing something beginning with its letter. I never would have thought of a ‘Valentine Vulture' or a 'Scooting Squirrel' with out this thought process! My main rule is that my work has to make people smile so I can pass on the fun I had designing them!

Modern Movement Design Fair at Brockwell Lido

Over the Bank Holiday I had a delightful rummage at Brockwell Lido 'Modern Movement Design Fair' Herne Hill, London. I liked the fact that I had the option of cooling myself off If I needed to, after getting so excited over all of the lovely retro treasures which were up for grabs. A glorious sunny day made this one of my most pleasurable shopping experiences to date. Here are a few pic's, I'm gutted on reflection I wish I would have brought the gold robot!

swimming and shopping- 'swimping'?!

love these bold retro printed swivel chairs

vintage french educational cards, tres magnifique!

These are class A treasure finds, amazing colours & illustrations

50's illustration, what is crazy dog up to? well I'm sorry I cant tell you as it looked to be written in french, but I do know I love him.

especially love the tiny espresso cups & saucers

Display with blue sky too lovely to buy

who would have thought I would see an owl & a robot in Brockwell Lido today.....

tapestry girl in ornate gold frame is contemplating a skinny dip

cool outdoor furniture, you can have custom made with any colour at ends (ps this is my boyfriend)

The green Ivy queen long awaits her prince from the castle on the hill. The End.

Right that's enough rummaging for me, time for brekki at the Lido cafe(its sooo good)
