sixty years of colour

Anyone who knows me knows I have a little bit of an obsession with the HRH Queen Elizabeth II. For years I have been meaning to start my illustration project focused on the Queen's hats, but I think I may have missed the boat as lots of others have been charting the Queen's sixty year fashion story. Two of my favorites were the colour chart put together by Vogue (above) last month and also the colour swatch card put together by Leo Burnett and Pantone. (thanks to @PollyAnders for showing me the swatch card!)

You can read more about the swatch card on Yatzer.

Artisic.ly Launch

The QR knights actually started life as two exclusive prints for artisic.ly. Artisic.ly's aim is to get prints out of tubes and drawers and onto walls! This means that Artistic.ly’s limited edition prints will only be available pre-framed and ready to hang. Each order will be hand numbered, debossed with the Artistic.ly seal and limited to editions of just 50. All Artistic.ly framed limited editions will cost £125 with free delivery to anywhere in the world.

The two smiling knights (night day and knight night) I created are designed to be hung as a pair and you can choose either a white or black frame for your print!

To celebrate the launch of the initiative there was an exhibition at the Truman Brewery in London last thursday! Thanks to Joe Rogers for the photo! (Joe also has some nice prints on artisic.ly)
