Julia Pott

I am working today on reception, and looking at a few websites and came across Julia Pott, an Illusrator artist and she as done a few animations, There so pretty and cute.

Finished pattern design for the Mulberry brief.

I draw a horse and a bag and scanned them into photoshop and creative a repeated pattern, then produced the pattern in Illustrator. I went for a theme from looking at Mulberry website, their trend, colours and next year their new collection is the theme fairgrounds.

Misaki Kawai

While I have not seen your i-stop piece, I have heard about it and thought this would be right up your street. It is so theatrical and quirky. Misaki Kawai has many strings to her bow. She was born in Japan but works now in New York, she currently strives to make work which keeps the innocent, honest integrity of adolescent playfulness, but on a more grand and sophisticated level. Here is video link of an interview with her.
