I love these neon Riso prints from UK designer Petra Boase spotted at Not on the High Street recently. Petra has illustrated all kinds of animals with a beautiful retro feel and used them on A4 prints and greetings cards. Petra is based in Norwich, England where is known for her eclectic products and has previously written books and appeared on television. The business was established in 1999 by Petra, but is now a collaboration between herself and husband Russell.The pair draw on their skills in textile design and Children's book illustration.You can find the Riso prints, cards, party invitations, embroidery patches, party invites and much more online here.
Designers for Hire member Salli Swindell has recently launched a new website to showcase her beautiful portfolio. Salli creates pattern designs and greetings cards for sale or license and is especially well known for her food illustrations. Together with her brother Nate Padavick they are the founders of They Draw & Cook and They Draw & Travel.
Salli is based in Ohio where she works as a freelance designer and she is available for commissions and collaborations. Here are some examples of her recent work and you can also find Salli's latest news on Instagram here.
Renowned children's designer Dawn Machell has collaborated with Kanopy Baby Inc in Atlanta to create her own babywear range called Mac & Moon. The collection includes a girls, boys and unisex range out for AW 18/19 and although it’s mainly on sale in the US George at Asda do have some of the unisex bear range and the girlswear available online here in the UK.
