Pretty Maids

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.

I thought some of you might enjoy the work of Welsh-based freelance designer and illustrator Hannah Davies. She graduated from Swansea Metropolitan University in 2009.

A fine-detail surface pattern design specialist and a lover of nature, Hannah's portfolio is full of intricate, colourful birds and imaginary animals waiting to adorn cards, tees, bedlinen and your walls.


You can send Hannah an email if you're interested in any of her prints.

Thibaud Herem

I came across Thibaud Herem's bird poster again the other day and decided to browse this London-based French illustrator/graphic designer's website. I've already mentioned my love of collections, here and here, and Herem's birds, fishes and insects are no exception. Take his bird illustrations, available in poster, card and book form, for instance.

Mais, ce n'est pas tout - There's more to Herem than first meets the eye... When I started delving I realised that this French graphic designer also has a talent for producing clean, simple and effective work like this

Nice, n'est-ce pas? Oodles and oodles of talent!
