Petra Likes.
I recently came across the work of British illustrator Michelle Thompson, and I am absolutely smitten with her collages. I love the mix between nostalgia and modernity. And the colours she is using are just fantastic.

Head over to Michelle Thompson's website for more of her work and to check out her shop. I think I put her on my Christmas wish list, too.

Enjoy!

Check out the collage work by UK illustrator Michelle Thompson. Her collages is a visual chaos but I am totally loving the busy look that is still somehow based on the grid that occurs from the materials.

    Kid Hater - Risograph.
    I have just received my prints back from DITTO PRESS!
    Kid Hater originally commissioned for the Globe & Mail in Toronto.
    A Risograph printer is an exciting piece of duplication technology. We create a thermographic master for each colour in your artwork which is then wrapped around a drum. Ink is forced through the voids in the master. The paper runs flat through the machine while the drum rotates at high speed to print each image on the paper.
