Illustrated Alphabet, by Katy-Rose

I’m off to the New Designers Awards Preview Evening tomorrow to go see what my very talented cousin and illustrator Katy-Rose Thorogood has been up to these past 3 years!

Katy-Rose shared a stall with Constance and me at Rob Pruitt’s Christmas Fair at the Tate Modern back in December, and well, her beautiful drawings were definitely the favourite attraction by far. Her alphabet illustrations in particular were a big hit with both adult and child. They were originally designed so that the lines were raised, to help teach the alphabet to blind children through feeling the letters and the animals associated with the letter, but they also work as gorgeous drawings on their own. I like the “F” for “Flamingo” for obvious reasons… You can see more of Katy-Rose’s work on her website.
