This weekend my agents and several of the other artists they represent will be at Surtex in New York - the big surface design fair.
Last month I was busy designing a Blurb book as my 2010 portfolio and printing out repeat patterns to send to Lilla for the show. One of my oldest and loveliest friends came to stay for a couple of days and helped me print out repeats and make choices for the book.
One of the things I love about being an illustrator is the autonomy/self sufficency and the sense of achieving stuff on your own - but sometimes when you get support from someone else you realise just how nice (and sometimes needed) that is too! The other great thing about having Katie to stay is we always line up a little film show for her. This time we watched one of my most favourite films "Gone to Earth" - beautiful, magical Powell and Pressburger film about a girl and her fox. I've just discovered it was an inspiration to Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love" (but don't watch the youtube montage to the end if you plan to watch the film!)
I also have some work on the always fantastic Print Pattern Blog earlier this week.

Love your work and your blog!
Thanks for sharing the 'Gone to earth' film and discovery about Kate Bush's album. I've always been a fan, so this is great to know.
