Bonbi Forest

For all this sunny but windy days

Today I discovered a fun range from a young illustrator and designer called Lee May Foster. All of her designs reference nature, astrology and the seaside, maybe due to the fact that she is based by the sea in a rural part of deepest, darkest Cornwall!

Bonbi Forest is her web site, where you can buy exclusive screen printed t-shirts and sweaters as well as her jewellery designs and original artworks.  Her art muses on a world of fleeting creatures and strange and unsettling landscapes jutaposed with a fondness for colour and pattern. All Bonbi Forest clothing designs are screen printed by hand in her studio meaning each print is unique and ever so slightly different, a work of art in itself. Keeping this level of quality is a nod to the printing days of yesteryear, before machine printed goods and mass manufacture. In addition, all her clothing designs are printed on American Apparel garments and she has worked with brands such as Urban Outfitters, as well as designing artwork for Bat for Lashes and Sink and Stove Records.

I’ve already chose my favourite piece, a perfect blue sweater for all these sunny but windy days...
