I designed this neon for Southbank Centre which has been installed today – keep an eye out for it in front of the Royal Festival Hall (its quite bright....) Seeon the Southbank Centre facebook page here.

This year's Christmas card from Ok-Jo Studio. Hand cut/hand printed lino
First look at the business cards I designed for Clinic. Just back from the printers this morning. Beautifully screen printed by Bob Eight Pop (http://www.bobeightpop.com/)
Last Saturday, a group of Soupa members made their way into London (some coming from *far away* so big thanks to them for getting up early) for a get together at The Book Club in Shoreditch.
The aim of the day was to design a promotional zine and the theme was 'Reveal.' This was decided by members ahead of the day to give them time to do a doodle or pen some pictures before we began. As you know, each member favours a different way of working and this is what we like best!
Soupa illustrators Harriet Gray, Luke Waller, Elissa Elwick, Jamie Littler, Anna Spencer, Carlos Garde-Martin, Mariana Lobao brought their pens, pencils, inks and other various materials, photographer Ted Kozak came along to photograph the event and went out and about in E1 gathering material for his photo collage piece.
And designers, Jo Spencer (me), Eurico Sá Fernandes, Pinelope Kourmozoglu and Mark Richardson created some typographical pages for the zine with Pinelope stitching her type into the paper.
After the event, Jo Spencer collated all the finished artwork and put them together to make up the zine so here's the big Reveal. We hope you like it.
A bit of random news – this bespoke lino print card I designed for my folks (Pattie and Philip) 40th Wedding Anniversary has been picked by a Chinese publishing house for a english & chinese book called 'Card Design' ... I saw the page layout today and it looks great. I will post when I receive the printed edition!

I spotted this poster up at a university inviting creatives to take part in Stuttgarter Filmwinter. Through the powers of Google Translate*, I’ve been conversing with Wand 5 – the group behind the festival and found out that the poster (which doubles as an entry form) was designed by Berlin-based Apfel Zet.
And notably, it was intern Susan Kreher who designed it. I thought it was pretty cool and wanted to share it with you.
If you’d like to find out more about the festival or enter it; visit www.filmwinter.de
*Rely on this at your will. I told them some pretty odd things about myself via the medium of translation!
Post by Clare Kelly Curated by graphic designer and illustrator Claire Hartley, Pointe Blank is a collaboration between Birmingham Royal Ballet and 27 artists across the UK. Claire invited Soupa members Jo, Harriet and Jamie to take part and they were delighted to oblige.
Themed around the story of Coppelia, each artist was asked to represent the story any way they wanted to; and here are some of my favourites. Of course, all the Soupa ones are my faves!

Jo Spencer’s lino print which has been digitally offset.
Harriet Gray’s figurative portrayal.
