Mark Harrison

For some time now, I've spotted Mark's work around Liverpool. The Egg cafe (great vegetarian and vegan restaurant that does killer cheese on toast) held 2 giant canvas works and Waterstones had Mark illustrate their A-Frame for Fathers day. I was over the moon to be able to see more of Marks work at the Blank Note event The Super Summer Fair and of course we had to start stocking his work!








Reminding me of my days sat around watching The Power Puff Girls and other bug eyed cartoon characters, we hope one day we will have enough space to house some of Marks canvases! 
 Cards are in stock now.

Not everyone can handle colour, or sometimes, to balance out the colour in a home, neautral toned prints or black and white prints work best. Here is just a small selection of cards and prints for the colour shy.

Kate Rowland








The infamous T.V show Twin Peaks, Edgar Allen Poe's garish story of a black cat, 'soldiers in petticoats', shells and space shuttles all provide inspiration for Kates wonderfully unique works of art. Watercolours, screen prints and lino cuts - the art world holds no bounds for Kate as she dables in a variety of media - each to it's own success. All works of art - prints, zines and tote bags are reasonably priced, with A3 sized prints at only £12! We expect this young lady to go very far and are over the moon to be able to bring her art work to you at Nook & Cranny.

SALE!

We have a brillaint bargainous offer on for you in Nook & Cranny - plain Envirosax bags are now half price at only £3 with 4 for only £10 (This offer was previously 5 for £25, bargain!)
Envirosax bags are waterproof, large and reusable. Each bag can be folded and rolled (directions are supplied although it's really simple) turning each bag small enough to carry around in your pocket for any adventuality. Dont let them fool you though, they're tough bags! I once carried a sewing machine home in one, so they'res plenty of room and durability for most occasions.
With so many patterns and colours to choose from, there's no excuse for you men not to use one to carry the potatoes home in!

Owl & Cat



Based on 1950's colours and book illustrations, Esther from Lancashire has launched Owl & Cat, a fantastic one stop place for children's gifts and stationary. From box sets complete with pencils, writing paper, stamps and stickers, to a happy tote bag, mini writing set, thick sketchbooks and original illustration animal cards complete with stickers for your own customisation. We're a massive fan of the 'I love bears' print and think the sketchbook is great for adults too!
