I went to Pick Me Up, the annual graphic arts festival, at Somerset House last Saturday. It was a mistake to go on a weekend as it was so very busy, but it's a sure sign that illustration is maintaining it's popularity and credibility as an art form. I spotted some familiar illustrators there as well as some that were new to me. I bought a delightful black and white print by
Eleni Kalorkoti to add to my kitchen 'art gallery' wall. I also enjoyed works by
Isabel Greenberg,
Nick Alston,
Thomas Dathony and
Claire Scully. Here they all are:
'Good Witch in her Garden' by Eleni Kalorkoti
'The Great Dag' by Isabel Greenberg
'N' by Thomas Danthony
'Escape' by Nick Alston
