Anthropologie x Buttercrumble: Happy Mail Workshop in Leeds
It was a joy to return to basics last Sunday and enjoy the love and effort which goes into writing an old-fashioned letter. We had the perfect workshop venue (Anthropologie, Leeds) and loveliest guests to collaborate with too!
By working with the creative lifestyle brand, Anthropologie, we created a supportive environment where participants penned letters that combined words, collage and illustration before securing in an equally beautiful envelope. Their happy mail was then ready to pop in the post!
John Lewis x Buttercrumble: Easter Egg Illustration
Last weekend, we had the pleasure of visiting John Lewis in Cheadle for their Easter activities. There we illustrated bespoke surprise eggs for customers, young and old. What was the surprise? Each egg, when opened, revealed a message of positivity. We love to spread a little joy through our work.
Live Illustration at The Lord Mayor's Charity Shopping Event
Browns teamed up with York's Lord Mayor & Civic Party to host an exclusive evening of shopping, pampering and socialising in aid of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, Keep Your Pet and the Refugee Action York Charity.
We were thrilled to be invited to spend an evening browsing the latest SS18 fashion collections, see beauty demonstrations and, of course, illustrate lovely customers. We attended the event to gift guests with their own bespoke portraits and enhance their experience of the evening.

It's been an exciting time at the Buttercrumble HQ. After illustrating at John Lewis in November, we are pleased to announce we'll be returning with an 11-day Christmas Illustration Tour. Over December, we will be visiting John Lewis' northern stores to capture customers in cute portrait form. We want to invite YOU into Moz the Monster’s world through illustration which sparks the imagination. Together, we will be creating the perfect festive atmosphere through live illustration in-store.
Last month, we had the pleasure of speaking at Process Events in Leeds. It was an evening of giggles and real-life stories. We had an amazing time! We spoke about “what they didn’t teach you at design school”.
