February 1 Giveaway

I'm back in the swing of my monthly giveaways and will
be collaborating again with some fabulous designers.

On the first of every month I will be offering a 12x9 print
of our seasonal recipes from 2010.
Just to remind you all, last year I joined forces with local
Brooklyn chef Sung Uni Lee and we produced a seasonal recipe every month.
Sung designed the culinary side and I illustrated it.
This culminated in a set of 12 recipe cards complete with directions on
the back and envelopes for sending to loved ones.

So, to kick of February here's our Sweet Tart Soup as a kitchen print.
To enter please post a comment below on how you eat locally
in the winter months. The winner will be randomly picked on
Tuesday, February 8th.

Royal Wedding Tea Towel

Britain has a history of commemorating Royal events
with souvenir gifts and top of this list are tea towels.
With the upcoming wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton
on April 29th I thought it would be fun to create a limited
edition of 100 tea towels as a special collectors piece.
It will be available to purchase by mid February but in
the meantime you can preorder right here.

Here's a sneak preview followed by a couple from the official
Royal souvenir archives.

Ici Coloring Book

Good morning.
While we're still on the subject of food and coloring books
I realized that I haven't shared a few projects that I did at the end of 2010.

I was contacted by Catherine, the owner of a lovely
Fort Greene restaurant called Ici. The food is all locally grown and
therefore the menu changes seasonally. They work exclusively
with local farms and markets.

We came up with the idea to produce a small coloring book that children
could color while having brunch at the weekend. Naturally it provides
insight into where their food is coming from and will hopefully
spark a little interest in eating healthily.
Catherine found some lovely soy based crayons to accompany it.









If you have an idea for a custom coloring book or booklet just let me know.

Anorak Magazine

There are few kid's publications out there that really "wow"
me but I always smile when Anorak newsletter arrives in my inbox.
Based in London, but available worldwide by subscription, the Anorak
team educate children using amazing design, games and stories.
They have a great online shop too and this book would have to be top of my list.

Color in NYC

I have a new coloring book available right here that
celebrates some of the things I love about New York City.

Edible Manhattan

I love this magazine and pick it up whenever I can.
So, you can imagine how happy I was to see this today.
Thank you for writing about my work.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I've finally come up for air following an incredibly busy
holiday season and would like to thank all of my readers and customers
for their support.

So, what's next for 2011.
Well, I'm working away on my new Spring/Summer line
which will launch in a couple of months.
I'll have some more time to dedicate to my blog and hope to
return to weekly posts showing illustration and design that inspires me.

I'm also introducing our seasonal recipes as prints once a month.
They will be available in my shop at the beginning of each month.

So, to get things started in the kitchen here's January's Fuchsia Mash
print concocted by Sung Uni Lee and illustrated by me.
Available to purchase right here.
