A massive thank you to everyone that came and visited us at Pick Me Up this year. Thanks go of course to Somerset House for hosting such a great event as always. It was good to see some old faces and meet some new ones too. And of course a HUGE thanks go to Daisy Emerson, Claire Powell, Louise Madzia, Felicity Marshall, Silver Spur, One Must Dash and Corpo Sancto. Such a talented bunch of ladies. I must also thank those behind the scenes without whom I couldn’t have done it Judith at Delicious Industries and of course Kate.

The Best Web shop will be up dated over the new week or so with all manner of new goodies if you missed out at Pick Me Up. If you would like anything in the meantime, don’t hesitate to email niki@nikibest.com

Things are ramping up as we head towards Pick Me Up next week! Each day leading up to the event starting on the 21st of April I will be introducing each artist showing with Best this year.

First off is Daisy Emerson,

Daisy is an illustrator and sign writer from London who has a real love of hand lettering and type. Much of her work consists of large scale typographic murals and wall art predominantly within retail, pop-ups, and events. She also creates an array of hand painted signs often in her signature pastel colours and metallics often onto metal or wood. Clients include Carnaby, Fudge Hair, John Lewis, Google and Facebook. The work she creates for brands brings spaces and walls to life using traditional sign writing in a bright and modern way.

Daisy has produced some amazing new work exclusively for Pick Me Up 2016

We’re very excited to be part of Pick Me Up 2016! it’s an all women group this year, which happened organically. We wanted to concentrate on different, often tactile mediums and disciplines, things that are made, crafted, honed. This year is the year of Utopia at Somerset house, the word itself meaning ‘no place’. However, Utopia is a (wo)manmade thing, people shape their own utopia, it was interesting that everyone I approached was a woman, all working in often male dominated professions.
I’m joined by sign writer Daisy Emerson, Illustrator Claire Powell, Tattooist and artist Valeria Marinaci, print designer Felicity Marshall, graphic designers one must dash,and of course Best. There will be new prints produced especially for PMU plus a whole host of other goodies and workshops taking place throughout the 11 days.
