Fantastic news for Laura-Kate Draws- during the Indigo Exhibition one of my patterns sold to the gorgeous fashion retailer The White Stuff which is really exciting.I can't wait to see how they use the design on their garments. I am now in the process of putting together a mini portfolio of all my patterns to send out there into the world of fashion so lets hope more sales continue.

I've been having a few problems with my website recently but thanks to the lovely guys at It's about Websites it's now all sorted and I can start updating you all with what's been going on in the world of Laura-Kate Draws...
I was kept nice and busy from October to January with the invasion of the Go Penguins around the city. I was lucky enough to be chosen to design and paint my own penguin (named Blizzard) that went on display at Lime Street Station which meant lots of long hours painting a 5ft tubby penguin in my PJs at the Innovation park. I was also out in the city 2 days a week with my trusty painting kit as a penguin vet making sure all the Go Penguins were kept looking tip top, which was very cold work.
During the run up to Christmas I was all over the city taking part in various craft events selling "Laura-Kate Draws", products and prints. Sales were fab and thanks to all you lovely people who bought Christmas presents for your friends, family or even just treated yourself to lovely new mug!

Unfortunately I have been very rubbish at updating my news page in recent months; I have been a busy bee to say the least! So where were we...
My alphabet sold to Custo which was fantastic news and my images should be going to print for a small collection in January so watch this space. Since then I have been working on a number of small projects including music posters for the Manchester music event Unconvention, an advert for a lovely caf in Liverpool (get yourself down for a brew and a fry-up), some wonderful winter themed wedding invites and creating quirky circus characters for a lovely little lady called Jasmine-Rose.
The biggest project I've been working on for the pat few months has been the dreaded business plan with the help of the fab team at LJMU Business Enterprise and the wonderful Nikki Chowdery at Train 2000. So look out for lovely Laura-Kate Draws mugs, T-Shirts and lots of other beautiful things at craft fairs around Liverpool! My mugs are already selling in Land Baby in the Blue Coat court yard so take a stroll down, buy one and have the best looking brew ever!
