For The Love of the North Exclusive

Lucy and Paul of For the Love of my North are tirelessly passionate retailers who pride themselves on their ethical, vegan friendly and sustainably sourced products. The couple share my passion for the North East of England, and their outlets are like little shrines to the region! They offer a wonderful selection of gifts, prints and cards, all sourced directly from artists who live and work in the North East of England (myself included!). 

Over the past year, a business relationship has blossomed between me and FTLOTN. In 2019, they commissioned me to produce an original illustration of the Spanish City in their hometown of Whitley Bay, where their latest outlet has made its home. My illustration of the Spanish City was featured in their exclusive 2020 calendar, and carbon neutral prints are sold in a variety of sizes. Keep your eyes peeled folks as these will be available online soon! 

Limited edition standees (pictured below), were produced by Zap! Creative, made from 100% recycled materials, and these sold like hotcakes! One customer even used a standee as a unique topper for their wedding cake (I felt suitably honoured!). 

There are also greetings cards available (pictured below). There are many more products to come borne out of this collaboration with FTLOTN, so keep an eye out in the coming months.

I also created a new version of their logo which to put on all their exclusive products, as FTLOTN are working with multiple artists on exclusive commissions that can only be found in their shops and website.
