— Dan Bramall













































Aka 'The Scribbler'. Fresh and fun work from the man who used to live in the flat upstairs. In London, you're never too far away from a designer of some sort. We're like rats. Dan could probably draw a great illustration about that.

— Always With Honour
























Anyone who buys Monocle will probably recognise the great work by Always With Honour. But they've obviously done a whole lot more than that and it's simple, beautiful and effective... and varied.

— Enda Bowe



































I think it must be the great weather we're having in Britain which made me think of these photographs! Enda is a fantastic photographer and he's a good guy too.

— Jennifer Camilleri






Yes she makes brooches but she mostly makes great paintings and drawings. I know she would love to do more illustration work too... I think there is a real illustrative potential to her work.

I love these little brooches by the artist Jennifer Camilleri

— Fonts In Use

See a selection of designs and see which typefaces were used... Great idea.

— Matthew Green











































This guy's work has just appeared in the foyer of my building and it makes really refreshing change. It's bonkers but I really like it.

— Winterhouse movie

Apparently there are good reasons for a designer to move out of the big city... a less client-lead life for one. I think I might do that, and as for the house... I think I'll get me one of those too.

— Celebrity Wedding Cakes






































Just getting some ideas you understand. Nice selection of old images on Life.com. And look how beautiful Mia Farrow was!

— Kai and Sunny
































This does look very lovely and very tempting indeed. It is a limited edition box set for £200. Kai and Sunny actually produced the work first and then got David Mitchell to write a story based on the illustrations, or David Mitchell in a sense, illustrated the images with words.

— A Friend of Mine











Really nice work by this Australian agency. On exploring the site I realise that I had seen a lot of this work before. It's clearly been published in design books on numerous occasions.
