The wild coast of Bohemia

I thought I'd put these up - just for interest. I'm always saying that we do a lot of work even on the imagery that we use from other artists. So here is Rackham's Alice (scanned from a turn of the last century book) before and after being cleaned and adjusted for fabric prints:






Arguably, I think we have sometimes overdone this in the past - in a way it's nice to leave a little of the "age" and fading showing.

This print will be used on shoulder bags, tarot bags and messengers (when we make side panels that fit). I'm pleased with this - it's an image I've loved for years.

This photo is by Alex. Modelled by Aida, hair and make-up by Eva (whose surname I need to find and post - eek) Eva is now about to begin work for Mac in Prague, so if you get a chance to go to the Mac shop ask her to do a make-over for you, she's fantastic and LOADS of fun - and speaks perfect English as she lived in England for years.


Aida looks beautiful in these photos - I hope the bags do too!
This photo is by Alex. Soon I'll post the images by the photographer we've been working with - Simon Chang.

I have to admit that I really like this one.

It's taking a while to get these all done - we just got submerged under wholesale orders (all to Japan, China and Korea interestingly enough) but here is one that we just made for an individual order. If you are reading this and it's yours, it came out looking GREAT and I want one!

Here it is, finished at last. Not an easy image, I know:
