Roses are red....

and all that.

So valentines is almost upon us, a day which I am very indifferent to but for couples it can be a big deal.  Still struggling with gift ideas that go beyond the flowers and chocolates? well look no further.

There is 25% off when you spend £20 or over in my etsy store until Friday, and I can guarantee if you are in the uk and purchase something before 12pm Wednesday it will be with you before the weekend.

So why not treat your special someone to something unique this year

I've been busy...

So having this week off work has given me a motivational boost, I've been a good little housewife and have been working out and most importantly making stuff!

Most recently this beautiful new print.  I have been itching to do something typographical again for a while and my brother bought me a new 'Drawing type' book for christmas.  I don't remember where I found this quote but its by E.A. Bucchianeri and I really liked it... mystery is everything! 

Also exciting is that I decided to print it onto sections from some vintage maps I have collected over the years.  Not only because they are gorgeous to look at but it means that every single one of the prints is completely one of a kind and I really think it adds to the quote. 

I love it and hope you do too, here is the link to buy it :)

Made You Look....

As soon as I saw Anthony Burrill tweet about a colab with Hattie Stewart I had to find out more!  Made You Look is a documentary by Look and Yes Media about creativity in the digital age.

'If everything we create only ever exists in a digital cloud, I think thats a terrible shame'

Sam Arthur (co-founder of Nobrow Books)

The documentary looks at creatives that despite being in a digital era are turning away from their screens to use more traditional methods of making things.  Basically my life haha.  They have interviewed a wide range of creatives from Anthony Burrill  to Ed Cheverton about their creative practice and the importance of creating tactile objects and it looks like a really exciting documentary.

Having filmed over 20 hours of interviews, they are currently looking for backers on kickstarted as they have run out of funds to finish the final edit and keep it a completely independent production. I've given my pledge, so If you can spare a few pounds, or a lot of pounds please do and as always on kickstarter the more you pledge the better reward you will receive, like a Limited Edition collaborative screen print by Hattie Stewart and Anthony Burrill!

Watch to find out more...

Ohh Deer.....

I have been a regular to the 'Ohh Deer' website which stocks a wide range of stationary, cards and gifts illustrated by a whole range of wonderful people, and they also stock in shops like urban outfitters and Selfridges.  They run regular competitions to find new contributors but the difference is they use the publics opinion and how much the images are liked and shared as well as what will fit in with their brand. 

The current competition is to find a new range of greetings cards.  If you are an illustrator I say get involved, it's as simple as uploading 4 images and getting as many shares/likes/and notice as possible.  The link to get involves is here. 

I have uploaded a few designs and would really appreciate a like or a share.  Thanks :)

Also if you enter comment on this post with your link and I shall return the favour!

Back to basics

So I’ve been getting back to pen and paper for a while as I’ve missed just drawing in ink and as a result have created a few cards and postcards!  The postcards are available  here as a pick and mix of 3.
If you would like a greetings card made contact me at lauranevill@hotmail.co.uk with the subject ‘Greetings Card’ and I would be happy to draw one and even personalise it for you :)
