Photos from Otto!


Hanging in pride of place, two of my creations! I'm so thrilled that the kind people at Otto Pizza loved my work enough to have it grace their walls!


There has been some lovely feedback from the staff and patrons, its almost enough to make a girl blush!


Russell, a manager at Otto, even decided to commission me for his own piece!
Russell's artwork is inspired by his love of mechanical workings and steam punk. 
I love doing the air ships in particular!

Otto Pizza, Notting Hill

Next week two lovely new pieces of my work will be hung on the walls of Otto Pizza  in London's trendy Notting Hill.

Otto is a unique pizzeria, with it's pizza bases made using corn meal. The corn meal creates a crisp tastey bite rather than the usual "doughy" base used my most pizza restaurants.

The pizza's are absolutely delicious and make it hard for you to buy your slice from anywhere else!

The two pieces of work that I've created for Otto are quite different to each other. One piece takes inspiration from the corn itself and the history of the Mexican culture. The other is inspired by travelling and the mysteries of the world. Tom and Rich, owners of Otto are keen travellers.

     

'Dia De Los Meurtos' £400

 

'From The Sea To The Stars' £350

As soon as these new pieces are hung in Otto I shall post some photos for you all to see.

Tom and Rich are hoping they'll be up by next week.

So if you fancy a yummy pizza and a browse at some new Two For Joy creations, get yourself over to Notting Hill!

 

Christmas time is here!

The most exciting time of year is approaching!

Brand new Two For Joy Christmas cards are now available for you to spread a little joy!

There are 3 designs to chose from and can be bought individually or in sets of 3 or 10.

As usual, all sets of cards are tied up in lovely ribbons that you can use again- might come in handy at Christmas!

Spitalfields Market

I have recently started trading at Spitalfields Market in my neck of the woods, East London.

I've met some fantastic people and am pleased to say that the wonderful world of Two For Joy has been very well received. Its also given me a few fantastic opportunities that I'm very excited about...(more on those nearer the time!)

I will be at Spitalfields Market from time to time and am hoping to become quite regular. I will announce on twitter  and facebook when I am planning to be there, so follow me to catch my updates!

Thank you to all the lovely people who are embracing Two For Joy and all your kind words. I look forward to more people joining to Two For Joy family!

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pelicans fly to The White House

Two days ago my original of 'Hope' cut out started its journey to Barack Obama at The White House in Washington DC.

I sent the artwork to Mr Obama to show my support for the clean up that is still happening along the Gulf of Mexico.

Although the oil leak has been contained for the moment, there are many birds that still desperately need human help.

IBRRC are still working so hard to clean up the oil affected birds. So far 553 birds have been cleaned and released back into the wild. Unfortunately 2710 birds have so far been collected dead.

Its so important that we don't forget the work that IBRRC  that arer continuing to do.  We must continue to support their cause, in order for them to get out there and collect more birds before its too late.

My Hope print is available for you to buy with 25% of the profits going straight to IBRRC.

Its aim is for you to feel empowered by helping the oil affected birds whilst enjoying inspiring artwork at the same time.

Please follow the link  to support my campaign.

I really appreciate your help!
