Channel Hopping

I'm ready for a break
But which city should I choose?

A weekend in London or un saut à gai Paris?

Maybe I could manage both?

Just hop across the Channel?

Or settle for a couple of Jane's new prints,

Available here.

Let's Play exhibition

Back with some colour!

What do you think? I love seeing these three images by Spanish illustrator and graphic designer Blanca Gomez (Cosas Minimas) lined up together. Blanca created these limited edition prints for the Art Group's Let's Play exhibition in London last December. The show, the first of its kind, was a huge success and featured the work of over 45 contemporary artists, illustrators, graphic designers and photographers published by the Art Group. If you're interested, original works and limited edition prints still available for sale can be found in their online shop, and watch out for a similar event in 2010.
