Okidoodle Book!

Heres is the Okidoodle Book! We currently preparing the book launch on Sat Oct 17th at the Doodle bar, for more details go to (http://www.okido.co.uk) ! It took about 9 months of this year from beginning to end. Sophie, Rachel and myself thought it be great to start publishing small publications under the OKIDO name. After a few brain storms and Pietra beers, we thought it be best to do some sort of activity book. Then we came up with Okidoodle! I think it took only one month to think up and roughly draw out about 100 ideas, Then we spent a lot of time laying it out and finalizing with some sharp words by Gabby. then Rachel had the great idea! Which was to draw in Messy monster in a few pages of the book, and let messy do what he does best! Its up to you now to sort out the choas messy has caused!

To purchase OKIDOODLE- perfect bound, printed on Friendly drawable paper and at a very reasonable price of £4.99 click on Okidoodle.

Okido will be hosting a launch party of Issue 10 and Okidoodle book on the 17th Oct. All are welcome, and will be held at the Doodle bar in Battersea, where the walls are painted white every week - and you're encouraged to draw on the walls, furniture and even the staff! here's the flyer.

Balloon Planet

>
A story originally written by Gabby, And started of as a poem with illustrations. But I loved the idea of a balloon planet so much i wanted to make it into a story with not many words, and speech bubbles. The cafe in the story is the local cafe that i go to, and the owner has plans to frame the picture on the wall in the cafe. Also i have featured my favorite design shop, Magma books in the illustration.
