Have you ever wondered why an illustrator chooses a certain colour palette and if various elements in an illustration mean anything? Did you ever imagine paintings in a book could come to life and what illustrated interiors would look like in a real room? What would that wallpaper look like in your lounge room? Or what if characters could wear other characters’ fabrics?
Lethbridge At Home shows the intentions and meaning behind the art created for a children’s picture book and beyond, and even demonstrates the illustration art being repurposed into textiles and imagery for the real world. By taking the imagined idea, creating images for the picture book, then manufacturing something as an item in one physical form or another, the natural process of thinking through an idea to create an actual real world interior object is whimsically revealed. Read more about Lethbridge at Home on the Lethbridge website.
Lethbridge (Imaginary Friend) is a children’s picture book written and illustrated by an author who also happens to be an experienced surface pattern designer and artist which is how this portfolio of real-world designs based on the snappy interiors featured in the book came about.
