Grover at Zizzi

James Grover creates a mural for Zizzi Ipswich.
Commissioned by the Design manager at Zizzi, James worked over a five day period to complete the different elements of the painting. Using a scaffold tower for the high parts, James has produced an awesome piece of art for the restaurant. He says "The mural is a map of Ipswich’s centre, showing the main attractions and significant buildings. There are also a few little bits of info about the town dotted around too. The frames are made to look like they are suspended by a port crane which I was also asked to draw. The designs were produced using acrylic paint pens and emulsion."

Pastai

the menu

Chrissy Lau creates several wonderful drawings for Pastai; 'an intimate artisan pasta bar located in Chelsea (NYC)'.
Commissioned to use her detailed lines to illustrate pasta & the Italian map, Chrissy's 'wholesome' drawings have been used beautifully for a restaurant 'that serves fresh handmade pasta paired with authentic sauces from southern Italy.'
Chrissy says "The illustrations captured the handmade quality of the pasta to help inform and educate the customers about the history and tradition of pasta making in Italy. Inspiration was taken from the engaging stories of the client's childhood in Sicily where she would watch her grandma Francesca make fresh pasta every day. The illustrations represented the brand’s personality, creating a distinct visual identity, print collateral and packaging."

Yorkshire Tea

Yorkshireman Andrew Hutchinson was delighted to be asked to re-design the packaging for Taylors of Harrogate's iconic "Yorkshire Tea" and "Yorkshire Gold" brands. The brief was to make a more realistic style of image without significantly changing the overall look of the package. The illustration was also to include familiar features of the Yorkshire countryside; Andrew's painting captures it's beauty, the Dales' Ribblehead viaduct, Castle Bolton and the Moors' Rosedale mines. Super job!
