One of our most recent branding projects saw us partnering with the wonderful Honeytape Creative to create a wholesome identity that is as true and authentic as the couple behind the team.

Honeytape Creative is a new start-up based in Leeds that was founded by Adam and Lucy. The pair wanted to combine their video, photography and marketing skills to provide a content-creation service for independent businesses. 

One of the first challenges, they felt they had to face as a start-up, was to make an impact. Coherent and exciting branding is an excellent way to do that so we were thrilled when Adam and Lucy asked us to help. 

It's November! We can't believe how quickly the festive season is sneaking up on us and we're yet to make preparations. Will we remember the gifts? Will our festive decor be on-point? And (most importantly) will the fridge be fully-stocked? 

Earlier this year, we were delighted to win a place on the art&’s RAW talent mentoring scheme. Over the past six months, we received support and guidance allowing us to flourish as artists. As part of the scheme, we were given the amazing opportunity to exhibit at the art& Show 2017 at York Racecourse, North Yorkshire. The event took place from Friday 27th October to Sunday 29th October.

Earlier this year, we launched a collection of vintage-inspired silk scarves. The scarves were met with an amazing response as they helped to secure us a place on Art&’s RAW Talent programme, received national press coverage and sold out! Following popular demand, the coveted collection is relaunching today, with only 25 scarves being produced. It makes owners of the scarves true fashion trailblazers. It is wearable art. It is wearable history.

This month we had the pleasure of setting up our easels in the gorgeous setting of the Victoria Gate shopping centre in Leeds. We were thrilled to take part in their Shopping Affair event which even saw, Strictly Stars, James and Ola Jordan take the stage. 

Our role at the Shopping Affair involved illustrating guests. We love performing live illustration at retail events like this because of the smiles we create. Each person received a bespoke portrait which they could take home and treasure forever. The portraits make beautiful mementos and conversation-starters.

This week we hosted our first portrait illustration workshop at The Gallery at Cafe 164 in Leeds. It's a venue full of inspiration because of their regular art exhibitions. For us, it was the perfect place to host an illustration workshop!

During the workshop, we helped participants find their illustrative style and create a portrait that captures their personality on paper. We invited everyone to experiment with line and colour to explore the various ways you can draw facial features.
