Neat little things to get for Christmas

If you’re shopping for pressies here are a few ideas for some cool little bits and pieces for under a tenner, drawn from within our little life class community (just so that you know that your hard earned xmas pounds are going towards helping a starving artist this Christmas, rather than fueling the evil corporate machine…)

So our top tips are…

‘Bearded Men Eating Fancy Desserts in the Great Outdoors’. I am ordering this book right now, it is a small book of illustrations by Lucy Eldridge aka The Happy Weasel (£6.95, available here). I think it is self explanatory as to why everyone needs this book.

Lucy also does rather lovely Christmas cards… (available here)

Anything from Peter James Field…the work in Peter’s shop isn’t exactly festive but his dry wit and thoughtfully executed illustrations are perennial in their appeal. My top tip is his ‘Peter Andre Saliva Tree’, currently retailing (with a festive discount) at £4.90. It is available from his online shop here alongside a cornucopia of illustrated delights. I also highly recommend dipping into his sketch diary here.

Finaly, the blatant plug…
