Paris Book Fair: Thierry Magnier

Have a look out for Thierry Magnier’s stand in the Paris Book Fair: 18-21 March. I adapted the last spread of ‘Un Peu Perdu’ as a 6 metre banner! wow!

Sadly I cant make it over as Ill still be in Nepal. Im very proud to be published with Thierry Magnier. I thought their stand and range of books was one of the most eye catching and inspiring in the whole of the Bologna Fair, so i am really extremely proud to be included in their stand this year in Paris.

Also I’d like to thank them very much for buying my fair trade owl toys from Mahaguthi. They were the first publisher to do this. Im really happy they were so excited about this project, i hope we can do more with this!

Check out Thierry Magnier’s website. They publish some of my favourite illustrators and books…. some really stunning work in there. univers > petite enfance is especially good

Camino fair trade chocolate

I helped rebrand Camino chocolate in Canada. Camino means path/road in spanish so we based the packaging on maps. Interestingly, the original meaning of ‘trade’ also means path or ‘tread’. The lovely packaging was designed by Karacters in Vancouver and i got the very important job of drawing funny little fellas all over it.

Have a look at Camino’s website, (their chocolate range is amazing, v interesting flavours) or read more about the project on lovelypackage.com blog

Sound Shift | Istanbul

I did some of the artwork for the design and posters for Soundshift, a cultural event in Istanbul in association with Grenouille radio in Marseille. It is a French/Turkish cross-cultural event. Istanbul is 2010 European capital of culture and Marseille is taking it on in 2013.

The design was done by Lola Duval who Ive worked with before. Im a huge fan of her work. I recommend taking a look at her website here
