Nicki Dennett

Yesterday I went to the Surface Gallery in Nottingham to sell some of my jewellery . Unfortunately, it wasn't very busy and I only sold one piece ... but I met Nicki Dennett (illustrator and printmaker) and exchanged some jewellery against some of her work.

I really like the print I got from her. It is called "Burger" :

It reminds me very much of my own series of fashion magazines photographs and I am very much looking forward to working more at it again ...

Nicki told me that the print I now have was part of a series she made about a Healthy Eating campaign.
here are some images, taken from her website : they tell the story of a woman who ....

Life Changes

Comfort Zone

Online Shopping

Ditch the Burger

Consequence

The Way Forward

Grow your own

I like this work very much.

Eating and the problems relating to it are much deeper than what we usually say and those drawings speak for themselves.

Deborah Nicklin

Just discovered Deb's (who I know) work (which I didn't know).

She studied a BA Hons Fashion Degree at Central St Martins, London.

I really like her work, especially : Bag Lady, American Nightmare, So flippin' Happy, Zelda the perfect mother. I love their nasty-witchy side and the fact that ! I really like this sense of humour. Combined with a fashion style, to me they say a lot about the fashion world and its disturbing aspects ....
