Paulo Viveiros - Contemporary Christmas

Christmas artist Molly Graham designs for a number of product categories which include Christmas partyware and tableware. Thanks to the endless possibilities of digital design Molly is able to create variable styles. She writes “I enjoy chopping and changing between traditional, contemporary and vintage styles. Keeping up with trends in stationery, homewares and fashion on the High Street and on-line keeps the work fresh. Image Source are keen to ensure their designers continue to evolve creatively – I am continually encouraged to try new things, briefs are varied and I am kept supplied with an eclectic mix of good quality commercial visual reference by them to refer to should inspiration run dry”.

Molly Graham - Tableware Christmas

Simon Treadwell is a self-taught digital artist who uses the traditional painterly styles with a vivid finish to his work. His portfolio consists of traditional detailed scenes incorporating Father Christmas, Fluffy Snowmen, Puppy Labrador’s and Children.  The clean lines with bold colours are on trend, proving very popular on a variety of products that include greetings cards, prints and calenders.

Floral Prints are still on trend

Discover a passion for large floral prints and explore the many facets of surface design in the exciting new trend for the greetings card and wrap industry.

Craft elements will include pearls and precious stones, adorning the artwork with high quality finishes.

Self taught contemporary illustrator, Sue Reeves from Image Source is always on the look out for inspiration but feels keeping a sketchpad and pencil on her helps her to develop her passion for new ideas. Sue uses a varierty of methods to create her artwork including digital, oils and watercolour. We love the pattern artwork she produces – as above.

Nautical but Nice

The sea and coastline may bring to mind special memories of outings in the summer,  childhood holidays or simply taking a stroll alongside the sea. We all have our preferred coastal bays, ocean views and sandy beaches.

As we reminisce about these times, Summer 2011 has witnessed a trend which has been reinvented and has crept into the greetings, homeware and kitchenware industry once again. We notice a collective buzz involving blue stripes, lighthouse designs and the patriotic ‘red, blue and white’ colour schemes. Image Source have a range of images available which provide a cute nostalgic feel including: -  Beach hut patterns and boats by Paulo Viveiros, Lighthouses by Louise Rawlings and new artist, Anna Platts.  Abstract nautical scenes can be viewed in the Emma Freeman portfolio plus much, much more. Traditional coastal scenes are available from artists Rob Fathers, Christopher Osborne and Tony Ryan with Contemporary artworks being displayed by Nicola Gregory.

‘Colour Clash’ Trend

Sue Reeves from Image Source Art Licensing has created designs for those who are looking for something that little bit different – and nothing can go unnoticed in this range. Sue has used an assertive use of colour and pattern in her designs which fits in perfectly with her style for opulent floral prints. The style is flawlessly in line with this years trend which is found in high street stores such as John Lewis, Debenhams, House of Fraser.

The trend is to create a bright, bold look with Colour Clash. The palettes are bursting with clashing tones – pinks and corals, blues and greens. It’s time to throw out all the old colour rules and mix bold brights for maximum impact.

Please view further floral designs ready to be licensed on our website www.image-source.co.uk or speak to Hannah Curtis on 01442 834464 for availability.

Bring out the Bunting

Brighten up your celebrations with the new range of ‘Bunting’ Happy Birthday and New Birth cards from Molly Graham.

Bunting has always been a popular way to add decoration to any celebratory event. The colourful triangular flags are usually made of fabric and we love the way Molly Graham has adorned the greeting cards with beautiful floral textile imagery and pattern.

Image Source artist, Molly says “I enjoy the flexibility of designing directly on screen and I pride myself in working with clients to develop well executed, interesting saleable designs. I was delighted to be taken on by Image Source – Art Licensing and appreciate being able to focus on being creative while they take care of the business side of things.
