The Creative Directory: Lee Lund
Illustrator Lee Lund has risen from the fires of Carlisle, bringing with him a bold fresh style much influenced by the Vikings and Norse culture.
Sample the goods:
 |
| Branding for a craft beer brewery |
 |  |
 |
| Book of London graffiti translated into stories |
|
|

Based in York and having studied at the University of Cumbria, Lee's style is quite heavily lead by the Vikings, who were scary people. He also likes drawing a lot of skulls and wolves which are equally scary things to look at. On the other hand, Lee himself is quite the friendly fellow so it all works out in the end, especially for Lee who may or may not have been Loki in a past life.
So there he is; beer branding, ship building, library graphics, tattoo designs.... that should pretty much cover all your illustration needs surely?
Plus he's currently working on a logo for pop punk band You Know Nothing and more craft beer designs.
Here's where you can find him:

Heartwarming artwork that makes you feel all warm inside from a very down to earth, Yorkshire artist. In her own words: "Hello, come in, I'll put the kettle on while you look around my little shop..."
Sample the goods:
 |
| Little One original screen print |
 |
| You're so lovely - hand screen printed blank card |
 |
| You don't know how lovely you are, hand screen printed card |
 |
| Soul Mate original screen print |
 |
| Seed Thieves original screen print |
There's a strong theme of love in all of these which surely appeals to everyone. I really like how not over produced they look. They all retain a very lovely, almost rustic look to them. Each one looks like it could be an original drawing. I've actually bought two since discovering them. I got the 'Soul Mates' card for Ben for our last anniversary and the 'You're So Lovely' mother and daughter card for my mum for mother's day.
She also does gorgeous embroidered fabric pieces which you must check out on her website as well as illustrations for children's books.
She does a lot of her printing and also some workshops at the West Yorkshire Pint Workshop in Huddersfield which is where I went in September to do my three day printmaking course.

It may seem a little strange that I, being ink free, am promoting a tattoo artist but to be honest it's been on my mind recently. I've got a bit of a bug under my skin about it at the moment and I can't remember where I discovered Martha, but I keep seeing these tattoos on Instagram and I love them.
Now I'm no expert, obviously, on tattooing or its techniques and styles so this post is going to be picture heavy but what I will say is Martha's got skill. Skill that I will gladly travel to London for!
