Emma Bryan is freelance illustrator creating designs for editorial and licensing, but it was on an art retreat to Sardinia in 2017 where she was inspired to bring her art to greeting cards, and the plan was hatched to debut her collection at PG Live London 2018. Emma had a long career in graphic design before following her dream to become a full time illustrator. She creates charming feminine designs from her garden studio in London inspired by vintage objects and nature, working with traditional materials plus a smattering of digital magic to pull it all together. She will be on Stand 659 at PG Live on 5th and 6th June at the Business Design Centre in London. You can see more of her daily process on Instagram @emmabryandesign or on her website here.
These are some of the latest pattern work from Gillian Flint. Gillian is an illustrator represented by Bright Art Licensing who works in greeting cards and children's books. Bright will be exhibiting at PG Live next week (2nd/3rd June) showcasing lots of designs and patterns for licensing from all their fab artists.
A week today will see the opening of London's premier greetings card show - Progressive Greetings Live. One of the artists appearing will be Dublin based designer Shirley Copperwhite. Shirley will be unveiling 50 new card designs, a new range of tea towels all printed in the UK along with lots of artwork available to license. Shirley is also known for her silk scarf designs and has a Society6 shop for cushions, prints etc. Anyone attending the show will find Shirley in the Artists Quarter of PG Live from 2nd - 3rd June on stand 164.
Here are a couple of other highlights that caught my eye from the PG Live preview. They include lovely bright notecards from Jane Ormes from ArtPress. Two designs feature in the pack - a small cat in jelly and a dog called Joseph who has a coat of many colours. This striking geometric coat design then features on the outer packaging.
Also looking good is this new range of cards from Black Olive called 'Ruby' featuring floral collages.
Paper Salad are celebrating ten years in business with their stand at PG Live this year so expect some fab new designs on cards, bags and wrap. Anyone attending PG Live in London next will find Paper Salad Black Olive and ArtPress at the show which is open on June 2nd 3rd.
These lovely cards and notebooks will also be at the PG Live show next week. The designs are by Betty Etiquette a London based stationery brand and design studio established by husband and wife team, Rebecca & David Cahill Roots. Betty Etiquette stocked around the UK in card, gift shops and department stores and will be launching brand new ranges at PG Live 2015 on stand 679.
