Things Come Apart is an expansion of the original Disassembly Series by Todd McLellan. This new set of images explores retro to modern daily items that have, are, or will be in our everyday lives. The book “Things Come Apart: A Teardown Manual for Modern Living” is now added to my Amazon wish list!

I cannot wait to for the next time I’m in Bristol so that I can visit BS8! I think I am likely to leave poor in pocket but rich in the beautiful work of my lovely friend Emma.

emmarandall:

Hello! SO I’m very sorry for the lack of posting as of late, there are good reasons behind it all! The first is that I have been very busy with a few greetings card commissions and with selling my already designed greetings cards into shops. So my cards are now dotted here and around Bristol in places like Watershed and on Park Street which is very exciting! But even more excitingly I have now printed wrapping paper as well! Which I shall blog about soon.

But even even even more excitingly, I have just moved my work into a small boutique shop on Park Street in Bristol, called ‘Upstairs at BS8’ which you can check out the website for here. They sell a whole range of lovely things from illustrated lockets to hand-made bags. My prints, wrapping paper, badges and greetings cards will be for sale there too! TOO exciting! Ok breathe….

So here are some photos from BS8 with my things for selling in it… more to follow… and if you want to you can buy some of my cards from me here.

Cool, see you in another blog soon!

I’m not a photographer, but I’ve just got a new camera and want to get better, so I’ve started a new project. I’m going to take a photo a day and see what happens. Lots of people are doing it already, so I’m not pretending to be original. I’ve decided to blog my progress to give me focus. It’s for myself, but follow me if you want.

This beautiful watch could be yours for just £10

John Todd kindly made this watch to raise funds for Bless.

We’re looking for 100 people to buy a £10 raffle ticket.

When we’ve sold 100 tickets we’ll draw a winner.

For more info or to buy a ticket (or more) contact lou@blessnet.eu

Predominantly TODDWATCHes are made from anodised aluminium, brass and stainless steel. Each wrist watch has a high quality leather strap, made and stitched by hand, fitted with a buckle of unique design.

All the watch faces I make are different from each other and to date I have never produced two identical watches. All watches are fitted with precision quartz analogue movements (+/- 20 sec. per month), have scratch resistant mineral crystal lenses, and precision Swiss made ‘crowns’.

JULIA DONALDSON COLLABORATION: Planet Emerald

I have been keeping a little project under my hat for quite a while now… but now it is time to reveal all, hoorah! Drumroll…

My first collaborative published book is with…

The one…

The only…

Julia Donaldson!!!

If you have been living under a rock… Julia Donaldson is of ‘Gruffalo,’ ‘Tyrannosaurus Drip’ and ‘Jack and the Flum Flum Tree’ fame to name but a few, and is also the Children’s Laureate.

It was an absolute joy to work on, amongst the busyness of the summer, and is all set to be published in exactly a month (14th January 2013)! The book is called ‘Planet Emerald’ and is a part of the Bug Club educational series published by Pearson. It’s a lovely short play book about a slightly peculiar substitute teacher who turns out to be just a tad ‘out of this world!’ Yipee!

So lovely to be able to begin to share all that I’ve been working on the past year! But for now… Over an out, and I’ll be back blogging very very soon!

If you would like to purchase a copy, it’s currently available on the equally wonderful Amazon, Waterstones, The Book Depositary, amongst many other lovely retailers!

So excited about Emma’s illustration… I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy!
