"Forest creatures and other animals"

From the 1st of June we'll be showing our first Illustrators show at Black Duke & Cashman.
"Forest creatures and other animals" is a showcase of work including prints and original art work by the very talented Isobel Kho, Deer Little Forest and Jim Ward aka Jim Bob Art.
 Isobel Kho


Craft Guerrilla are very proud to showcase a plethora of creatives ranging from designer makers, musicians to artists and illustrators so it seemed quite natural to include some of that talent in our concession space.

Deer little forest...

The guys at Black Duke & Cashman have been really supportive of us and when we mentioned the possibility of having a show they kindly obliged and let us use their walls!
So if you love illustration as much as we do then pop in and have look...

James Ward...

Something for the weekend...

As you probably know we love illustration just as much as making and baking! It's another one of our passions and because of it we're always on the hunt for new talent though this time it came to us...
I am so proud to have been immortalised by this lady and absolutely love the portrait she drew of me.


The Craft Guerilla
Craft Guerrilla by Bex Shaw
 
Bex captures everyday situations and transforms them with water colours, pen and ink in such a way that her subjects seems to reside in another era... her drawings are quite dreamlike and always make me smile!

Julie's Blue China
Blue and white china...


Windows filled with cakes, blue and white china cups, pretty dresses, book filled cases, sweetly whiskered cats, musicians and jazz dancers... all exquisitely drawn and alive on the pages of her drawing pad.
You can usually find Bex Shaw at Clerkenwell Vintage Fair capturing the souls and hearts of many visitors at her little table near the ballroom entrance door. If you do see her make sure to smile, she might just think you a worthy subject and add you to her collection!


So if you're looking for something to brighten even the drabbest of weekends, let's face it...we've had a few recently, then get you peepers onto her Flickr site and prepare to be delighted: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bexshaw/

Friday's CRAFT CRUSH...

Friday is the day when we Guerrillas wind down, relax and chose a few of our favourite things! We love lots of things ranging from beautacious hand made goods, craft tutorials, cake & cocktails recipes to illustrations, music and lots and lots of great creative people... 
So this week we stumbled upon "Pretty Little Thieves" a beautiful blog featuring the amazing illustrations of California based artist Nancy Mungcal.
If you like her work then check out her ETSY shop too...believe me I would buy almost everything on there especially the cat plates! 

To see more of Nancy's work please visit her website: www.prettylittlethieves.com

all about LOVE



I was absolutely delighted to meet Julia Pott last Christmas at the Craft Guerrilla Market. What a lovely gal! I don't know why but she just popped into my mind and I revisited her web site and re watched her film. Her illustrations and animated films are a rarity...they make even the stoniest of hearts ,like Mine :), turn into mush! I so wish I had bought one of her recycled vintage illustrated watches...
