Summer Trend - CONEY ISLAND
Fairgrounds are right in vogue, at the moment. We were lucky enough to fit in a trip to Coney Island last year. Although the fairground was closed for renovations, the boardwalk gave a balanced and historically correct inspiration of retro food booths and cafes open for business. Distressed sun-bleached advertisements of shop logo's are a great starting point for colour palettes.

And now for something completely different !
Before the weather got cold last year we went to this amazing Safari Park at Pine Mountain in Georgia.
We had no idea what to expect, and when we got there we saw that we could either take our car around the park, or ride in a Safari bus. We decided we would take our car as it is a jeep and pretty rugged. Before you go in you can buy some prepared food to feed the animals with, which comes in the form of hard dried nuggets, and also arm yourself with a slobber cloth ! We were really curious about the slobber cloth but once we were in the park all became clear. We drove through the gates and were immediately surrounded by all sorts of buffalo, deer, wild pigs, goats who were all obviously used to getting their food by putting their heads through the car windows :) ! The smaller animals like the deer were great because they were a little a nervous and it was easy to drop them a nugget or two on the floor. But it was quite a shock when a large water buffalo wandered slowly over and pushed her nose through the open car window, slobbering and drooling all down the car door ! Anyway we went all round the park trail once, and then enjoyed it so much we went round again !

Artists Update !
If you haven't been to our website yet, it does include a page for the talented artists we represent.
We have just added Isla to the site, she is from the UK too, and she has a great fun style that fits in really nicely with the other art in the print collection.
The website is animated, and all about fun, so take a look if you get the chance, and keep the sound turned up too ! There is also an events page there that keeps you updated with the shows we are doing.
The website address is www.cinnamonjoestudio.com

The new Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando Florida !
Jennifer took a trip to Universal Studios recently and sent us this report and some photos :
These are pictures from Universal Studios in Orlando, FL. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is the new attraction this year. It is a must see! The well thought out details and architecture make you feel like you stepped into the movie. From the crooked roof tops of Hogsmeade to Hogwarts Castle, you escape to another world. There are a few rides and the Forbidden Journey is the most impressive. While the ride is fantastic and worth the wait, the Hogwarts Castle walk through to the ride is an unforgettable experience. So much thought was put into every detail. I can't begin to describe what a fantastic treat it is! Speaking of treats, if you have a sweet tooth, you must try a butterbeer. Yum!
