Ele Goes on Parade

 

Due to go on parade next week, Vicky Scott's design for the Elephant Parade is now complete. Vicky has been working on the 3D baby elephant mural for the last month, and is relishing the moment it joins the rest of the herd as part of a year long tour across the UK. The Elephant Parade is "the world’s largest open air art exhibition of decorated elephant statues that seeks to attract public awareness and support for Asian elephant conservation". The finished pieces are exhibited in well-known cities and auctioned off at prestigious gala events. To track down the herd go here for more information.

Clock Design for Mr. Jones

Hannah Davies has created a magnificent artwork for the dial of her Mr. Jones clock. To celebrate London Design Week 2012 Mr. Jones Watches has collaborated with four of their favourite illustrators and a photographer to create a bespoke series of Cyclops clocks. The very unique time pieces are being auctioned in aid of the charity Kids Company.

The client says " We are thrilled with the results and each unique clock is being auctioned on ebay. All the money raised will be donated to Kids Company so please bid generously to support this great charity and be the lucky owner of a completely unique clock. The auction ends September 26th so get bidding to be in with a chance to win!"

Hannah says of the commission "My inspiration was retro 60's shapes and psychedelic colours. I wanted to bring vibrant, detailed decoration into peoples lives."

Lets hope they raise lots of cash for a great cause.
