Bought this really lovely book a few days ago from Toppings of illustrated envelopes sent to the children's book publisher Klaus Flugge over the years. 


There's loads of really sweet and funny ideas from some of my favourite illustrators as a kid, definitely going to try and do this on my envelopes from now on! Seriously recommend this book for anyone who enjoys children's illustration it's so good, here are just a few of my personal favourites, sorry about my terrible scanner..






- David Mckee


- Emma Chichester Clark



- Max Velthuis


- Posy Simmonds



- Satoshi Kitamura




- Susan Varley


- Tony Ross

Some nice inspiration to start me off on third year!

Fridtjof Nansen


A few assorted bits of work I made last year for my project on sexy Norwegian explorer type Fridtjof Nansen, but never used for anything. Will post the finished book sometime soon..




- watercolour paper dolls




- painted ceramics



- sauna and lino printed birch forest


- big old screen printed mountain

Did some screen printed postcards in the last couple of days of second year to play around with some techniques.














Was quite happy with them at the time but now I think they look pretty rubbish. Wouldn't mind redoing the neon breakfast one a bit bigger with more detail and more layers.
