“Hi Lilla,
Here is the latest illustration I did for the Seattle Met. I’ve been using more textures and limited color with this work.
Thanks!”

My artists wish me a happy birthday! Look what they emailed me today!

This is one of the most cherished parts of being an agent: getting the birthday cards & emails drawn by my artists. I love my artists, I love their art, and I love my birthday! So what’s not to love?

How Trina’s day out in the Scottish Highlands became a repeat pattern

Trina Dalziel writes:

“Hi Lilla

I thought you might like to see how my Collection of repeat patterns named Inshriach started. Last May I went home to Scotland to visit my parents. On my Mum’s birthday we went to Inshriach plant nursery which is in a wood at the foot of the Cairngorm Mountains in the Highlands. They have a little café that sells amazing cakes made by the owner’s Norwegian wife and where you can sit and watch squirrels and birds in the trees outside. I wandered around and took loads of photos of the plants. Back in London I used my photos as reference for drawings which then became the repeats.”

We will be showing Trina’s patterns and other artists’ work at Printsource NY January 11-January 13. Come visit us!
