Macy's Girl T's

Here are some fun T shirts by Belle Du Jour that were in Macy's just before Xmas. The Tween / Teen market is always a difficult one to design for, these to do the job really well, with their use of fun graphics and colour :

Here are a couple of new Belle Du Jour T shirts that are on the Macy's online site : 

Next & Dunnes Xmas 2012

We have some catching up to do here, because even though we missed almost a month on the blog, we were still taking lots of interesting photo's.

Next had a shop full of great graphics on their kids T Shirts, Tops and Dresses leading up to Xmas, and their were quite a few fun character prints in Dunnes as well.  Here are some of the photo's from their stores in Belfast :

Alabama Shakes Revisited

Can't believe it's been nine months since we put up any music by Alabama Shakes ! Their first album is still in the top ten on Itunes, this track is called Hang Loose :

Love it ! 

Pylones Hong Kong 2013

Right at the very top of Time Square in Hong Kong is the Pylones Store. It is always full of very bright colours, with many fun items, including toys and gadgets for the office on display.

This is the view down from the balcony : 

Take a look at the Pylones website : http://www.pylones.com/en, it has some great graphics ! 

Paperworld Frankfurt

Just setting off for Frankfurt today, and looking forward to the Paperworld Show. It's been a while since we last showed there, and it is one of the biggest shows of it's kind in the world ! I think there are 23 halls of exhibits and they are all full. It has been touch and go this week whether Cinnamon Joe would make it to the show, the winter storms across Europe have caused most of Lufthansa's flights to be cancelled. Luckily today's flight is leaving on time, let's hope it is the same for the return flight next week !

Will keep you posted on the show over the next few days.

Printsource Flyer

Really looking forward to being at Printsource next week, it's been a long time since we've shown there. The print collection is looking so exciting again, thanks to all the wonderful new prints sent in by the artists we represent. We now have a good new selection of Tween prints to see, so hope we see you at the show ! 

Hong Kong Stationery Fair

This years fair was again held in the Hong Kong Convention Centre, but this time on the fifth floor, right up in the top of the building. It's an amazing state of the art building right on the quayside, overlooking the harbour.

It was a good fair to meet clients from all over the Far East, and the booth looked bright and exciting, attracting a lot of attention. 

The city is one of those places that never sleeps, looking up there are high rises and skyscrapers all around, while at ground level there are street markets, independent retailers and hole in the wall hot food vendors. Here are some night time shots around the city : 

Time Square's buzzing at night !
