Christmas Cards & A Cook Book

Digital artist Corrina Rothwell, who designed the SAW2011 poster, has not only produced a new set of wonderfully quirky Christmas cards but has also contributed to a recently published global recipe book.

The eight cards are a funny, slightly skewed, irreverent take on the festive season, guaranteed to raise a chuckle from many a friend or relative ('drunken fairy' being a rather inspired stand-out).

Her venture into the world of cook books, "They Draw & Cook", is a collection of 107 recipes imaginatively illustrated by various artists from around the world. It is the perfect gift for a lover of the comical & gastronomical! Head over to amazon uk for more information.

You can catch Corrina & her work at the upcoming Sherwood Contemporary Christmas Craft Market & Craft In The City event @ Waterstones.

SAW Artists Spotlight - Corrina Rothwell

Hello! I'm Corrina Rothwell and I'm a digital artist and illustrator based in Nottingham. Originally I'm from Rochdale, Lancashire. I've been in Nottingham for, oh blimey, I can't remember how long.
I've been working digitally for nearly two years now - before that I was a textile artist and created my images using free embroidery on a sewing machine. Although there was a 'gosh that's clever' aspect to the work which made it appealing to people, it certainly lost its appeal to me after 14 years of doing it. I had a 'look' in mind for my pictures which wasn't achievable on a sewing machine.
When I say I work 'digitally', I mean that I use a graphics tablet and stylus to draw my images straight onto the computer. I then have the images printed either on greetings cards or as prints to frame and hang.
I'm currently working on new designs for my own cards and Black Olive publishing have recently added six more of my designs to their range.
Plans for this year include SOCK, an art and craft selling event in Loughborough and a group exhibition at Urban Outfitters in Manchester.
I am also looking forward to having an illustrated recipe printed in a new cookbook being published in the US in autumn (or should I say 'fall'?).
