2014 calendar sneak peek!

I've just completed the design on my 2014 A3 wall calendar and it will be back from the printers very soon - this will be strictly limited edition and will soon be for sale in my Etsy store, here! 

Each month is illustrated on a different theme and contains loads of fun patterns and artwork.

Katy Clemmans for Keka Case..

Im super pleased today to announce the launch of my designs on iPad and Kindle cases, in collaboration with Keka Case. 10 of my designs are available, although currently shipping only within North America. The cases are printed with eco-friendly inks, and are water resistant - a great way to brighten up your tablet. Check out the site for more information here.

Peppermint labels - digital, downloadable, printable clip art.

I'm pleased to announce I have my first clip art files for sale in my KCPrintables Etsy shop! The downloadable, digital files consist of 8 super 'Peppermint' labels and 4 complimenting jpeg papers. These commercial use files are perfect for craft projects, scrapbooking, card making and much much more.

The clip art labels come in EPS, PNG and JPG format, so you can enlarge or reduce them in scale, recolour, layer on other artwork or simply print as is.

Check the Peppermint Labels out in my Etsy store. 

Digital, downloadable scrapbooking papers..

I've been really busy recently setting up my new Etsy shop, selling my range of digital scrapbooking papers and downloadable digital art. I have a small range on there currently but will be adding new designs every week, either with bespoke themes, such as my 'Vintage Garden' or 'Nautical Nice' items, or to build on my range of 'basics' which are packs of a single design in multiple colour ways.

The paper packs are perfect for digital scrapbook layouts, or can be printed for physical scrapbooking use (purchased files are 300dpi jpegs so top quality for printing). Packs currently for sale contain between 14 - 16 jpeg sheets each.

I will also be adding downloadable clip art for a whole host of uses - making web graphics, printable ephemera such as jar labels or paper bunting etc. I can't wait to share more in my Etsy shop very soon!

Once a file has been purchased (using PayPal) the buyer receives a link by email to instantly download the files. What could be easier!

Debbie Powell..

A bumper post today as I love illustrator/hand letterer Debbie Powell's work so much I couldn't filter these images any further! The multi-talented artist is a Brit based in New York, she has an impressive client list and has created imagery for a wealth of products, books, packaging and stationery amongst other items. You can see more of Debbie's work on her website here.

House of Rym..

Absolutely beautiful decorated porcelain products with a Tunisian/Scandinavian flavour from House of Rym.

Happy Easter..

Botanical Alphabet..

Beautiful hand patterned alphabet by Seth Mach, see it here.

petitiefabrique

Beautiful handmade recycled paper creations from petitefabrique

Marimekko..

Visiting a Marimekko store is always a treat, but in Copenhagen as elsewhere, it also made me want to weep at the prices of the beautiful items. I've been a big fan of Marimekko's fabric designs for years and I particularly love the bags and accessories. You can see more from the current spring 2013 range here.

Looking forward to Copenhagen..

I've been a little quiet on the blog for a few days - the day job has been hectic and the house renovations have hit a critical point!

But this week I head for a little break to Copenhagen. I'm looking forward to all the design deliciousness to be found in the Danish city.. one store I hope to visit is Bungalow for the fab prints on textiles and paper goods. Check out Bungalow's website here.

Delightful dresses..

There are some fun and fanciful prints on pretty dresses in Oliver Bonas at the moment.

One pattern two ways..

Testing out different background colours for a new pattern today..

Doodle evolution..

 Today I'm posting some of my recent doodlings - noticing how with each stage my drawing style has loosened up. Which do you prefer?

Bantie..

Today I discovered the lovely pattern work of Bantie, a Swedish design company. Very much up my street - find out more on their website here.

Geometric doodlings..

Keeping things black and white for today...

Cherry Blossom..

I'm really pleased to be able to share with you a sneak preview of my latest artwork for some new products I have in the pipeline. The Cherry Blossom range has a beautiful and bold illustrative style in a strong colour palette. I will be launching some new products carrying these designs very soon, so watch this space!!
