Sam Ashton

Just found the work of illustrator Sam Ashton, I really like his style particularly this painting of East London.

Rebecca Strickson

Rebecca Strickson sounds like an interesting person and she has some interesting well-crafted work to match this.

Ryan Todd

Bold, simple work from London based Ryan Todd.

Hattie Stewart

Some brilliant work can be found on Hattie Stewart's website, really like her style!

Isaac Cordal

I just found Isaac Cordal's work through the guardian website. Really interesting miniature installations often with a strong sense of political motivation.

Beyond The Valley

Beyond The Valley is a concept store for emerging and well established designers. There is some interesting work and lovely things to buy on their website.

Conor Harrington

Conor Harrington is a talented graffiti artist, I actually saw one of his pieces by Brick Lane in London although I didn't realise it was him at the time, very striking work.

Mat Collishaw

I was just having a flick through the Evening Standard my sister picked up in London yesterday and I was attracted by the story about Mat Collishaw's Magic Lantern installation at the V&A. Upon having a look at his website I found that there was a lot of good (and sometimes challenging) work, combining sculpture, animals and photography.

Covent Garden and The Royal Opera House

Whilst in London at the weekend I had a bit of time to wander around Covent Garden. I didn't know that it was on but I managed to stumble upon Ignite at the Royal Opera House which was basically an open house with lots of exciting little rooms and performances to stumble upon. Here are a few photos of the event and the surrounding area.

London Finds

The photo was found in Stoke Newington resting on the bumper of a van and the note was at Victoria coach station.

National Portrait Gallery

Whilst in London over the weekend I popped into the National Portrait Gallery to look at the annual BP Portrait Award show. I was really impressed with the standard of work and the winning portrait was absolutely harrowing but also well worth seeing. Here is an image of one of the other portraits, the exhibition is on until the 19th of September and is well worth catching if you are able to.

Wieden + Kennedy

These witty parking spaces can be found outside Wieden + Kennedy in London right near Brick Lane.

You have been warned...

Saw this in London near Spitalfields, people might think twice after reading!
