Beautiful Books: June

Whether you are planning an exotic holiday by the beach, a few lazy weekends lounging in the garden or (if you are like me and live in Scotland) several evenings indoors curled up under a blanket trying to distract yourself from the fact it is still this cold in June – every creative needs a good Summer reading list. Lucky for you, I have rounded up a small selection of titles to keep you entertained on any Summer afternoon, whether it’s sunny or not…     Dream Decor Known for his #MakeYouSmileStyle, Will Taylor is founder of Bright.Bazaar, one of the happiest blogs on the internet, and author of a series of equally positivity-fuelled design books. His latest title, Dream Decor, takes the reader on a whistle-stop tour of some of the brightest and most beautiful homes in the world, pausing along the way to give insight into what makes these spaces such a success. By the time you are just a few chapters in, you will already be conjuring up your own dream home, preparing for the cooler days when you can go about making it a reality.     The Wolves of Currumpaw Having won the Kate Greenaway […]

Ella Bailey – Interview

Today we chat to Nottingham-based Illustrator Ella Bailey, who’s big break came when she wrote and illustrated children’s book ‘There’s No Such Thing’ for innovative publisher Flying Eye Books, the children’s imprint of award-winning publishing house Nobrow. She’s since published a second, ‘One Day on Our Blue Planet… In The Antarctic’, and has already collected an impressive client list under her belt. Ella talks picture books, cats and ketchup with Bibelot…   1. How would you describe your work to someone who hasn’t seen it before? I would say that I take a lot of inspiration from illustration and design from the 50s and 60s, so my work often has a retro feel to it. I love using limited colour palettes combined with fresh, contemporary colours. Wide-eyed characters, of both the human and animal variety, feature often in my illustrations.   2. Describe your working routine – studio, kitchen table, caffeinated beverage of choice, music, silence? I have a desk, which is mainly dominated by my computer and tablet, tucked away in the corner of a room. My work is mainly digital, so that is often all I need to get things done! There is always a minimum of one […]

Paul Blow – Interview

Provocative and thought provoking, Paul Blow is an illustrator whose work has a striking graphic style, and trademark wit. His work has appeared internationally in a variety of projects for an extensive and impressive client list. We had a chat with the award winning, dorset-based illustrator to learn about his childhood inspirations, skills for rapping 80’s hip hop tunes (Freeze… Rock!), and how juggling gets him out of a creative block.   1. What’s the first piece of art you can remember making? It was 1980 and the film Grease was out with John Travolta, all the girls loved him and all the boys wanted to be him. I made a drawing from the cover of the John Travolta annual. I didn’t trace it I just looked and drew. I was so pleased with it I pinned it to my wall next to my bed so that when I woke up it was the first thing I saw. I was 9.     2. Describe your working routine – studio, kitchen table, caffeinated beverage of choice, music, silence? I work from a studio in an old rope making factory, so the studios are long. When I’m working on ideas – silence and […]
