I found Debbie Powell’s work this morning whilst reading through my endless list of blogs and was immediately in love with her work. Debbie is a freelance illustrator and printmaker based in London, her client list includes Jamie Oliver, M&S, The Guardian and Royal Mail to name a few. It turns out I have been a fan of her work for a while but never been able to put the name to the work.

Yesterday I was so excited and surprised to see two cards I had designed for Tigerprinters on the M&S website. I have to admit that I did order them both and get them personalised with my name on, but in my defence they are the first greetings card designs that I have had published, so I was a little excited.

You can buy them both here and here and they are delivered next day. Amazing!

Here is a new colour board that I put together yesterday. Keep your eyes peeled today, I have some new products that I will be launching and they are very cute!

Smock is based in Syracuse, New York, where their print shop has 20 antique presses, 50 tons of equipment, and 17 employees. Smockpaper describe themselves as, “faithful lovers of historic craft. We have letterpress ink in our veins. We are idealists. This means we believe in things. We are trying to make the world better right now. This affects everything we do. We read Walt Whitman (he was a letterpress printer too, by the way). We fall head over heels for heavy cast iron presses. We believe in the creation of beautiful things. And we want, like you, to feel good about where our beautiful things come from”

You can see the beautiful letter-pressed stationary, invitations and gift wrap on http://smockpaper.com/.
