I’ve just started working on a new book for Laurence King Publishing, working again with Tattooists, I’m compiling a tattoo colouring book! It’ll be a weighty book featuring artwork by international tattooists. It’s scheduled for release in Autumn 2012.
If you’re a tattooist and are interested in contributing, you can always get in touch.
New Boo Cover
So this is the new book that’ll be out in Spring 2012. Co-authored by Clare Bridge, it’s available to pre-order from Amazon (click image above). Published by Vivays Publishing.
I’ve been keeping fairly busy with my main blog over at www.jowaterhouse.blogspot.com with various, regular posts about items I’ve been selecting for photograph for the new book on vintage fashion:
1940s Corsage Brooch
Plus various other adventures and features such as book reviews:
Book Review: Cafe Society
The main focus of my work these days is vintage themed and inspired, as I organise Vintage & Craft Fairs in Worcester as WAVE, work with vintage boutique Second Hand Rose and as previously mentioned my next book is about vintage fashion, which will be published next year.
If that sounds of interest to you then see you on the other side.
I’m excited to announce that I’m currently working on a new book. This time I’m working with Clare from Second Hand Rose here in Worcester on a book about Vintage fashion! I’ve been working with Clare for nearly two years now, working in, writing for and promoting her vintage boutiques so it was a natural progression to produce a book together!
We’ll also be working with new, international publishers Vivays Publishing who are based in London. Please follow them on Twitter & Facebook as they’re about to release some really nice books on art, design and fashion and interiors to name a few!
Here’s some more info about the new book and how you can contribute:
Combining their passion and knowledge of vintage clothing plus Clare’s experience of owning/running a vintage shop and Jo’s background as an arts author with four books already under her belt, they’ll be producing a new book focusing on everyday, affordable, accessible vintage fashion with lots of tips on vintage styling!
The second half of the book will look at vintage street style and here’s how you can contribute! Do you mix vintage items into your everyday wardrobe and have a unique, super stylish look that’s all your own? Then we’d love to hear from you! We’re looking for photo submissions, preferably outdoor, street-fashion type shots from vintage loving fashionistas all over the world!
Email photos taken on the highest setting possible (so they’ll be big enough to use in print without pixelating, preferably 300dpi), and think about lighting and background in the pictures so they’re as clear as possible. Then EMAIL YOUR PHOTOS TO US! Please include your name and where you’re based, and if we can use your picture we’ll be back in touch with a few questions about your style and inspirations!
I’ll post more news on the new book as I have it.
I’ve resurrected my old blog at www.jowaterhouse.blogspot.com
I’ll be using it for my current work organising Vintage & Craft Fairs in Worcester, working with Second Hand Rose Vintage Boutique and for all things vintagey and crafty that take my fancy.
I’ve been neglecting the blog aspect of this website of late, apologies! I’ve posted a few links on the Indie Craft book Facebook Page HERE, to reviews etc. I’ve had lots of lovely, positive feedback from people about the book, which is great!
There’s 2 Vintage & Craft (independent maker’s) Fairs in December in Worcester that I’ve organised as part of WAVE - Worcester Arts & Vintage Events. See the posters below and for more information check out the WAVE Blog at www.worcestervintage.blogspot.com
Modart has a brand new website, which includes my new look blog for them. Lots of new content from new artists etc. I update my blog weekly. Check it out at www.modart.com
I’ve made a Facebook page for Indie Craft. It’s at www.facebook.com/indiecraft
Lots of the Indie Craft contributors are also on there so I thought it’d be a good way of keeping people posted with news about the book and from the Indie Craft contributors. Come and ‘Like’ the page!
I’m excited to be able to say the new book Indie Craft will be appearing in shops as of now! It’s available from all good bookshops as well as direct from the publishers. Examples of spreads from the book can be seen on the Publisher’s website HERE.
I’ve now added an Indie Craft page on the website with a full list of contributors and links to their websites!
