At Advocate we thought it would be really nice to make our own rather quirky christmas decorations (any excuse for us creative folk to get crafting!). So our lovely intern Steph took the reigns and designed us some gorgeous Banksy inspired silhouettes which we then sprayed onto the windows with white snow! If you look closely you can see the changes she made from the original Bansky we have in the Advocate gallery and the one on the windows. We think they look great!

She went with Advocate children’s illustrator Julia Seal, who at the moment is working on a large series of books for a UK supermarket chain. Authors Jacqueline Wilson and Malorie Blackman were among the famous faces at the party.

She has been meeting with clients and showing off all of our illustrators‘ and artists‘ fabulous work to book publishers and greeting card companies. She managed to time her trip with the adverse snowy weather they have had, but it sounds like it hasn’t delayed her trip and she is having a very productive time!

Advocate’s Alison Edgson has sent us some lovely photos from the Edinburgh Book Festival 2011. It looks like she had a fantastic time showing off her fab children’s book illustrations! Here is some more from Alison:
“Last weekend I went to Edinburgh Book Festival where I did an event in the RBS Imagination Lab with a fantastic big group of little girls (and one boy) accompanied by lots of mums (and about one dad!). We had story time, drawing and an ambitious craft session where the children all made fabulous furry mice, adding their own personal touches which never cease to amaze me! It was based on a book that I did the illustrations for – ‘A Little Fairy Magic‘ by Julia Hubery.”
