It's been an exciting time at the Buttercrumble HQ. After illustrating at John Lewis in November, we are pleased to announce we'll be returning with an 11-day Christmas Illustration Tour. Over December, we will be visiting John Lewis' northern stores to capture customers in cute portrait form. We want to invite YOU into Moz the Monster’s world through illustration which sparks the imagination. Together, we will be creating the perfect festive atmosphere through live illustration in-store.

Earlier this November, we had the pleasure of performing live illustration at John Lewis' flagship store in Leeds. It was a joy to create customer portraits in a beautiful retail setting as part of John Lewis' Christmas Shopping Event. We were certainly feeling festive by the end of the evening!

History, meet design. Design, meet fashion. Buttercrumble's Wearable Histories collection is a beautiful combination of both. Each silk scarf features an illustration inspired by mid-century fashion and lifestyle.

Scarves are versatile accessories which can be styled in a number of ways depending on how you feel! Today we wanted to share some styling ideas with you.

It was a ghoulish delight to collaborate with some little monsters at The Little Bookshop last month. To celebrate Halloween we hosted a spooky workshop where we helped local children to develop their drawing skills and create a portrait that captured their scary alter-ego on paper. It was so much fun to add an eerie twist to our drawings. 

One of our most recent branding projects saw us partnering with the wonderful Honeytape Creative to create a wholesome identity that is as true and authentic as the couple behind the team.

Honeytape Creative is a new start-up based in Leeds that was founded by Adam and Lucy. The pair wanted to combine their video, photography and marketing skills to provide a content-creation service for independent businesses. 

One of the first challenges, they felt they had to face as a start-up, was to make an impact. Coherent and exciting branding is an excellent way to do that so we were thrilled when Adam and Lucy asked us to help. 

It's November! We can't believe how quickly the festive season is sneaking up on us and we're yet to make preparations. Will we remember the gifts? Will our festive decor be on-point? And (most importantly) will the fridge be fully-stocked?
