Introducing...Thomas Harold Whitcombe

 



















Thomas Harold Whitcombe is a designer based in London, hailing from Glastonbury, Somerset. 

Tom is inspired by the natural world; it's landscapes, flora, fauna and creatures. Through avid collecting of second hand reference books and photography his work explores the juxtaposition between the natural and built environments. Pieces are shaped by evocative images, explored using illustration, collage and photography, and ultimately a little bit of joy.

Introducing...Lorna Scobie

Lorna is a London based illustrator, fresh out of university with a head bulging full of cheeky characters and obscure stories. Her work often features animals, and she creates them using gestural marks and more often than not, various printmaking methods. Lorna has been selected by London Print Studio for their Graduate Award, and she is very excited about sinking her teeth into it –There are definitely a lot more creatures still scratching to get out, and she can't wait to get them on to paper!

We just adore Lorna's fresh and vibrant animal characters and can't wait to set our eyes on the new screen print she's created especially for The Call of the Wild.
