Food for the Little Printer

visuals from the printed application

Lauren Mortimer has been commissioned by BBC GoodFood to illustrate 52 food items.

Designed to be printed from your smartphone using the Little Printer and showing customers which foods are in season, the illustrations spanning a year can be gathered 'to create a timely, beautiful miniature newspaper.' Because of the thermal nature of the Little Printer, Lauren's drawings had to be black and white resulting in small detailed gems of line.

Angelina Tearoom

Lollipop Tin

Biscuit Tin

Chocolate Tin

A treat of a job came to the desk of Lauren Mortimer, who was asked by Angelina Tearoom Paris to create three illustrations for their novelty tins. Lauren, using her quaint drawing skills has completed biscuit, chocolate and lollipop tin illustrations, she says "Angelina is a historical tea room in Paris, created in 1903 during the Belle Époque, so they wanted to illustrations that would portray this era and style." The tins are now looking great on their website and in the tearoom filled with the sweet things Angelina is so famous for.

Tequila Mockingbird

Towards the end of last year Lauren Mortimer illustrated 'Tequila Mockingbird'; a cocktail book published by Running Press.  The book which contains recipes based on classic novels is now out and available to buy!

Lauren was commissioned to produce 40 full page illustrations, as well as the cover. She says "My job was to illustrate the recipes incorporating key themes from the book upon which it was based. I used only graphite, creating quite surreal images throughout; (Lord of the Mai Tai's, Charlie and the Chocolate Faketini, Gin Eyre are a few of the titles....), it was such a fun and great creative project for me...it also got a great review in the Evening Standard (news)paper.".
