Banish those winter blues and come and meet illustrator Clinton Banbury at the Spring Country Living Fair.  Running from 24th-28th March at the Business Design Centre in London, the Spring Country Living Fair will offer shoppers the opportunity to “brighten up their homes, give their garden a new lease of life and refresh their wardrobes” just in time for spring.

Various craftspeople will be on hand to demonstrate their skills and to give advice to visitors interested in beginning new hobbies or perfecting their skills.  Clint will be demonstrating his illustrative and watercolour styles throughout each day on the stand, with shoppers having the opportunity to buy the original works they will have seen Clint paint.  We will also be unveiling brand new products and designs at the show, just in time to stock up for unique Easter gifts.

Come and visit us at stand E53a, where we’ll hopefully be spreading a little springtime fun to all.

From 20th March 2010, “Clint’s Prints” will be on show at the Ideal Home Show at Earls Court.  For a whopping 17 days, the Ideal Home Show will explore the world of home interiors and style in a show that will combine 8 different subjects – Ideal interiors, Ideal home improvements, Ideal gardens, Ideal food, Ideal home gadgets, Ideal shopping and Ideal woman, all under one roof.

Come and see us at stand 2/Q25, where the full range of prints will be available to purchase, at special show offer prices.

Whilst at The Baby Show at Earls Court last week, we had the pleasure of meeting a lady called Sarah who runs http://www.ethicallysourced.co.uk/, offering unique and original Tinga Tinga Art work from Africa.  Sarah showed us an example of the artist’s work and we were extremely impressed.  She explained that “My project/small business was inspired by our year in Africa volunteering. I wanted to enable a sustainable trade for the Tinga Tinga artist and involve the Orphanage,School and Hospital that we worked on in Kenya. The aim is to offer beautiful and inspiring original art with an ethical origin”. 

For every painting purchased, a donation is made to The Rainbow Community Care Charity (school, orphanage and hospital), local to the artist in Kenya. 

Why not take a look?

We’re now back at work and hard at it, following the success of the Baby Show.  We sold many of “Clint’s Prints” and had the opportunity to speak to lots of parents and parents to be, as well as going gaga over the huge numbers of very cute babies in attendance.  By far our most popular print was “The New Arrival”, featuring a cute baby elephant, which we ran out of on the second day of the show.  Hopefully we didn’t disappoint too many people, as we promised everyone that more than 150 prints of this design were still available on the website.  Our range of “Family Bathtime” prints also proved successful, with many people buying them to brighten up their bathrooms.

Following The Baby Show and the RHS Show, held at Twycross Zoo last month, “The New Arrival” is well on its way to becoming one of our most popular prints.  Hopefully the success of “The New Arrival” will continue during our many Christmas shows.

Why not come and see us at the Baby Show, taking place this weekend at Earls Court. 

As well as having the opportunity to meet Clint in person and purchasing all prints at special show prices, you will also get to see the brand new prints that we will be unveiling.  Our new ranges include Baby Animals (who can resist our Jumping Joey), Fairy Cakes (including “Add one rose then bake with love”), Cowboys and Indians (featuring the loveable “Ride em Cowboy”) and our previously popular handpainted silkscreen “Family Bathtime” pictures which have now been made into limited edition prints – who knows who’ll pop up in the bath next!

Come along and say hello – we’d love to see you.

Zoe recently had great success when she sold “Clint’s Prints” at the Royal Horticultural Society show which was held at Twycross Zoo last month.  By far the bestselling print was “The New Arrival” which Clint designed to commemorate the birth of Ganesh Vijay, the Asian elephant born at the zoo on 6th August 2009.

The next show we will be attending will be the Baby Show at Earls Court, from 16th – 18th October, when our new range of limited edition prints featuring baby animals will go on sale.  The range includes a kangaroo, a koala bear, a panda, a fawn, a lion cub and a bear cub and all will hopefully prove successful with visitors to the Baby Show.
