[ Draft drawing by Jennie Webber for Lee Rosy's piece ]

Jennie Webber is a massively good friend of mine, she’s an all round good egg and shares a mutual love for glitter. But more importantly she is also a crackingly good illustrator and is really making a name for herself amongst the Nottingham art circuit. I have to admit to being slightly biased as she is one of my dearest friends, but there is no denying how bloody beautiful her drawings actually are.

At the moment she has a lot of fingers in different pies, and is not only producing work to be screen printed on t-shirts, taking part in live illustration events but is also organising and contributing to some massive events.

Today for example if your about in the Nottingham area you will find her screen printing some limited edition Tees down at the Hockley hustle (A wonderful musical event which takes part yearly down in Hockley, city centre). Joining her are other talented artists/graphic designers which are also printing t-shirts with other splendid designs. Jen Mchugh and Nick Cobby are two which really stand out for me, both very different from one another, but equally lovely. All three have produced some beautiful t-shirt designs especially for the event which you can purchase right now!!

If you want a slice of Webber’s work but are not currently in Nottingham and can’t not shimmy your way down to the hustle today, you can also get a fix from various other Nottingham locations. Webber has recently done a full wall piece for Lee Rosy’s cafe on broad street which is still up and looking glorious.

Jen specializes in illustrating animals, sometimes mounted on wooden plaques and other times arranged with objects, like monocles or umbrellas. She also does a pretty mean stag.

What’s nice about Jen’s work is her use of line. In her previous work, such as her Pug featured below, the line was purely descriptive, but now in her newer work (lee rosy’s wall drawings and hustle t-shirt) the line has become more rhythmic, still descriptive, but now forming shapes and patterns within the design. These create texture and a kind of movement, which is really rather nice on the eye.

If looking is not enough for you, which it certainly isn’t for me! You can get your hands on some Webber originals down at Cow in Nottingham, where she has two super t-shirts for sale, one of which is featured below with the lady herself. She is also selling some lovely framed illustrations in Lee Rosy’s alongside her wall piece which need loving homes.

So if you are about in the Nottingham area you should absolutely go and check out some of her work, it is a real treat.
