The London Illustration Fair 2014

Words just don’t describe how much I loved visiting this quirky little fair in East London. I have just been offered a full time job in graphic design and so I made the most of my last day as a wanderer, going to the Egon Schiele exhibition at the Courtauld and then on to the London Illustration Fair in Hoxton. Everybody I know is now getting a print for Christmas!

I went particularly mad at Sandra Dieckmann and Ben Rothery‘s stalls. Both very different in style, but oh so beautiful. I was unable to leave without a large armful of prints from both. Sandra’s colourful prints fuel the imagination and drag you into a more beautiful reality and Ben’s prints are based more in the wonders of this reality, picking out forms and characters in wonderful detail and often adding a little twist so that you just have to look again.

It was a great and inspirational day and I’m sure that my head will buzz from all the fab artistic input for a long time yet!
