Katie Viggers Designer Feature:

About Katie Viggers:

I'm a children's book illustrator and mono print obsessive. All my work starts off a black and white mono print, sometimes it stays like this and some times I play around with it on the computer. I only really draw animals and generally get obsessed with one animal at a time.

Inspirations:

I love to create prints that make me laugh or tell a story. I'm a big fan of Hockney, Sara Fanelli, Judith Kerr and bears. I like to create child friendly illustrations that have a certain amount of sophistication and humour.

Best Sellers:




My bears work seem to be the most popular, particularly this one which is the opening spread to a new picture book I'm working on about bears. It's available as a card, a big print or a mug

We Make Summer Fair:




At We Make Summer I will be selling, original mono prints, limited edition prints, cards, bear mugs (maybe some others too) and my new alphabet prints



Websites:

I have a website www.katieviggers.com and my work is available to buy on etsy www.katieviggers.etsy.com

Alice Gabb Designer Feature:

About Alice Gabb:

Alice is a graduate of Graphic Design at Bath School of Art and Design. Her work is inspired by her playful love of the English language, British regalia and vintage curiosities, drawing much influence from old typography and packaging design.

She particularly loves making things out of reclaimed textiles and antique papers, using things that already have a story, and giving things a new use, in a new context.

Her chosen medium is often monoprinting, preferring the unique, naive line and personal touch of hand printing. Her work has been exhibited at the Dray Walk Gallery, Brick Lane, the KK Outlet in Hoxton Square and Brighton Art Fair.

Inspirations:

Encouraging long lost habits such as the art of writing letters, and the challenge and beauty of reusing textiles instead of buying new. I am always inspired by vintage textiles and packaging…oh and my small obsession with royal memorabilia.

Best Sellers:

My Royal Creatures hand printed writing paper which is double sided so that it folds into its own envelope.

We Make Summer Fair:

Handprinted letters and envelopes and all manner of stationery to inspire you to pick up a pen. Also appearing will be my trusty range of tweed bears, made from the finest vintage textiles and hand embroidered.
