Today, while Peter was off collecting the babies who had fallen out of their strollers, Tinker Bell paid me a visit and demanded I make her some new clothes. I hope she appreciates these cause now my room is full of tiny bugs.

Continuing our countdown to The London Illustration Fair 2015, we’ll have artist and illustrator Eleanor Rogers on the stand.
Eleanor Rogers is an Artist and Designer who lives and works in London. She is an active member of the East London Printmakers and exhibits with them locally and internationally. She studied Fine Art at the Glasgow School of Art, after which she completed a Scholarship to Florence. It was in Florence she began drawing seriously and has not stopped since. Her style of creating is varied, immediate and often humorous opting to make works that instantly impact upon the viewer with its use of colour, text and varied references to popular culture.
I make work in lino, screen print and etching. When I draw it is fast, simple and cut throat and I strive to hold on to this quality within my prints. I try to be honest in all I capture, and aim to create images that are inviting in their hope and strangeness.
You can see our full list of exhibitors on our website here.
Tickets for the fair are available NOW with a reduced price for entry on Friday. Please use the promotional code ‘cosmic’ to receive your discount. Click here to get your tickets!
