The Big Draw & It's Our World

For this year's festival of creativity, The Big Draw are joining forces with It's Our World and Faber Castell. They have just launched their promotional set of posters, banners and certificates - illustrated by moi. 

I used Faber Castell's beautiful watercolour pencils, and had a little inspiration (above) from the Paul Klee exhibition at the Tate Modern earlier this year.

The Big Draw runs throughout October every year, with 280,000 people expected to take part in over 1000 events across 21 countries this year!

Look on the site for events, and if you can host one, download my posters!

The Big Draw!

From August through to November 2011, I was Assistant Co-ordinator @ The Campaign for Drawing. 
Our big event was The Big Draw's national launch- 

Quentin Blake made a big entrance 

I was also managed to get my friends involved - Jonny Wright built a giant pencil for Quentin's grand entrance

- and almost all of Paper Jukebox got involved, assisting the artists in their workshops 

Here we are, looking COOL in our matching tees!

Merry Christmas!

A commission by The Campaign for Drawing for their 2011 Christmas card

I had the idea for this image to be a print, but after making a model to see if it could work, 

I couldn't resist using a photograph as my final image!
