amy king is a textile and surface designer originally from london but now based in new york. amy specializes in the children’s markets and clients have included gap, martha stewart, and paperchase. amy also enjoys creating fabric prints for sale online at spoonflower where you can see a whole selection of amy's designs.
i have been busy this last two months or so compiling the second print & pattern book, and because i wanted to get the designs to press quicker this time (so that they are more current) i decided to do it digitally via emails. i also compiled a wish list of some of my heroes, but felt P+P readers should also be involved if possible so i wanted to throw places in the book open to submissions from anyone who'd like to take part. submissions are now closed thank you for all your great responses.
i had so many great paperchase shots to upload that i have had to spill them over from last week into this. wild heather is a new floral range which has just arrived in stores. its a loosely done hand painted design with black details on a mixture of background colours.
one of the things i love about paperchase is that in larger branches they have a selection of products for creatives such as sketchbooks, portfolios, display folders, not to mention papers and art and crafts materials. these geometric design sketchbooks really caught my eye at the press preview. if you are in london a visit to their tottenham court road store is an absolute must.
paperchase start early with their 2011 diaries giving us plenty of time to choose a design and start penciling in next years events. i love the way they have adopted the japanese trend for plastic sleeve covered schedules like this tree design above. in stores now or online here.
