Zizzi Camulodunum!

Roman inspired mural

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star mural

Zizzi Ristorante commission James Grover to create two murals for a refurbishment of their Colchester restaurant.
The first of the murals was inspired by Roman pottery and mosaics, James immersed himself in the history of Colchester (or Camulodunum as it was known in Roman times) to make this gorgeous decorative piece. The second appears on the stairway at the restaurant, a star in the night sky with “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” written around the edge of a diamond - originally written as “The Star” by English poet and former Colchester resident, Jane Taylor. Both works of art were painted using acrylic paint pens and emulsion, and surely transform the interior from restaurant to gallery!

A Bose Gift

Nina Hunter creates a gift illustration for sound experts Bose.
Used globally, the artwork made of ornate swirls was to have the ability to be pulled apart with elements used separately if needed. Nina says of the commission “I was thrilled to be approached by a company such as BOSE. It was an exciting project and I hope I will have a chance to work with them again sometime in the future.”

Shop London

Zoe More O'Ferrall is commissioned by The Evening Standard to work on their Shopping Feature.

In conjunction with Shop London, Zoe was asked to create a map plotting a journey from Oxford Street, through Carnaby Street, Regents Street, St Martins Courtyard and Seven Dials. Using her unique pen style Zoe had to include an expansive range of landmarks, shops, restaurants and hotels, she says "...I had lots of fun delving into the different areas, bringing it all to life with a festive finish. I think Liberty was my favourite building to draw, it's always been a treasured haven of mine. I'd recently drawn for the J Crew opening, so that was also nice to work on again. And as a lover of Anthropology crockery I had lots of fun drawing up all their beautiful colourful patterns!

Shauna works with Post-it®

Chalk set of notes

Nautical set of notes

Shauna Lynn Panczyszyn works with the Post-it® team to produce designs for their Signature Series Notes.
3M approached Shauna at the beginning of 2013 with the idea of making designs geared for 'a creative woman who loves the little things in life'. After plenty of sketching the result was four different designs, of which the 'chalk set' was chosen. Shauna has since been commissioned by the same team to supply a nautical themed set of notes, she says "The final for this set is my favorite of all the designs I created. I had such a wonderful time working with the Post-it® brand and creating two final sets of Signature Series notes for them. I’ve been keeping this project secret for over 6 months now, so needless to say I am incredibly excited for its release so I can tell all my friends about it! Thank you, Post-it® brand, for such a wonderful and fun opportunity".
