Well. I went tp the marvelous Hockney exhibition at the RA in London. It was magical and I thoroughly recommend it! The queues were terrible...book in advance...and never go on a Saturday- or at the exact time your ticket starts. The way that the RA has set out the entrance/exit and gift shop was absurd. It was like this
So back to reality. I was originally supposed to go to Wales this week to get my emilythepemily stock from my parents house. (it was kept there over Xmas) The snow, of all things, has prevented me, the snow and a broken windscreen wiper for the welsh car. In wales you need windscreen wipers! I drove home through the valleys in the dark and the rain and the windscreen wipers decided to ping off. It was like someone had smeared Vaseline over my eyes. It was not fun.
Bored out of my brain I have perused the 'tinternet and come across these lovely pieces.
aren't these hand painted plates and cups beautiful.

I came across a little London based company called Ditto Press, the first company in the UK to specialise in Risograph printing. The blog is full of their recent commissions and is inspirational to say the least.
here are my favorite pieces.

Whilst looking through the Ditto Press website, I came across this amazing illustrator Stevie Gee
This last one was a collaboration between Tom Vek and his most fav illustrators.
Then, after getting an email about some Vintage festival Wayne is holding in my old 'home town' of Northampton, and trailing through all the information about how Northampton is 2 hours away from 80% of the country...
(And despite this fact, Northamptonshire county council have sat on their bums and done absolutly nothing in the 21 years or so I've know the place existed, about the terrible transport links in and around the super large town. The upgrading or poor areas and have allowed the once thriving independent music and art venues to decline into an array of empty buildings in prime locations. )
I came across the new (now a few months old) Olympics posters designed by some great people.
Here are my favorite ones of these.
