Pick Me up - Somerset House

Last week there was a university trip to the Pick Me up graphics/illustration fair in London's Somerset House. I had never been to the event, and I must say it wasn't what I was expecting at all. It was good, but in my head I was expecting there to be a lot more than what there was. However, the artists work that I did see was amazing, and the whole experience was very inspiring, especially seeing the collectives. I didn't take many photos, as I thought it seemed a bit rude taking photos then not actually buying anything.


Whilst browsing the book shop in Pick Me Up I came across two books by Dahlov Ipcar, called "I LIKE ANIMALS" and "THE WONDERFUL EGG". The illustrations were absolutely beautiful, I love the animals and colours. The book was published by Flying Eye Books, so had that horrible yet kind of nice smell to them. I think they'll be on my to buy list. Below are a few examples of the two books.
