Overheard On The Bus

Two school kids in the seat in front of me, talking about outrunning the bus:

"... yes, but how are you gonna manage that, the bus is really fast!"
" I'm speed!"
" You're not speed! I'm speeder than you!".

I had a giggle, just thought I share!

David Downton

David Downton fashion illustration is breathtaking, his draughtsmanship is amazing, fluid lines and an ability to capture his subjects with just a few strokes of indian ink.

I adore his portraits of Erin O'Connor, with whom he has an ongoing collaboration, I'm not surprise that he loves drawing her, I think she looks amazing and really graceful, If I had to choose my favourite model I would definitely pick her!



Prints of his work are available for sale at the Fashion Illustration Gallery in London.

Fashion Collages

I received an invitation on Iqons from Joni, co-founder of Polyvore were you can create sets with images saved from different websites ... I had fun creating the two sets you see on this post, and will definitely create more in the future!

Join in the fun!

Elephant Pendant from Covetable Curiosities, Elephant Badge from Joanna Goldman

Love the turquoise shade of the little Elephant Pendant from Covetable Curiosities it's from the 30's and made with glass. Isn't the little Elephant on the badge from Joanna Goodman the sweetest thing? I like to put badges on my bags and this one has captured my heart, he's available on postcards and even as a light switch!

Elephant Print Patchwork Bag from JCasa, Elephant Print Tunic from ParableInk

Brighten up your day with this colourful and summery patchwork bag! From JCasa, how nice is this beautiful tunic with Elephant print, I particularly love the pocket detail and the fact that it is printed in gold ink, it's from ParableInk.

Elephant Lovers Print from Orange Willow, Elephant Print with Birds from Kate Durkin Tasty Goods

What about an Elephant in your house? It certainly wouldn't fit in mine but maybe I can hang it on my wall ... Cute, if a little disturbing, is this Elephant Lover print by Orange Willow, I love the sketchiness of this "Migration Print" by Kate Durkin, an Elephant on a journey with his birds friends ... sweet!
