Auckland Art & Craft Fair

The Auckland Art & Craft Fair happened on the weekend and organisers Jess & Kylie and their team did an amazing job, yet again.

As well as joining me behind the table for a good few hours, two pre-fair late-night sewing sessions and a packed lunch delivery, Sonya Nagels caught a few images of the EC stand. Big thanks to Matta for making my magazine stand too! I owe them both big time. And that's my illustrated market money, below – it was so fun being paid with money I designed.

The fair was busy and buzzing the whole time, and I didn't have much time for shopping but we both managed to snap up a few hand-screenprinted cards by our next cover illustrator, Erica Harrison. Her prints and cards are beautiful and tactile – you can feel the thick layers of ink and the colours are rich and delicious.

Look out for Erica's illustrations and interview in the next issue, out July 31st.
