Based in North London, Jealous Gallery and Print Studio are dealers and publishers of limited edition prints, with a changing program of exhibitions featuring work by emerging and established artists from varied schools, movements and styles. Producing prints for artists including Charming Baker, Peter Blake and Ben Eine and exhibiting at Multiplied at Christies South Kensington and having worked recently with The Royal Academy of Arts, Jealous are an exciting collaboration at Heal’s for 2012.

Jealous at Heal’s will see the window space split into three distinct areas, each with its own focus on live studio practice and printmaking equipment. Each area will host 3-4 different artists printing editions live on site, building up the walls and windows and keeping the showcase space active and exciting throughout the week long event.

Prices for small prints start from just £35 and range up to £600 and 10% off sales will be donated to the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital.

I was also shooting on Saturday but didn’t mind giving up my day as it was a great project.  The shoot was for the cover of a celebrity’s new book.  Jemma Watts was the photographer and also shot the rest of the book, well done Jemma, you have done a fantastic job in such a quick turnaround!

This week we are working on a piece for Beautiful Kitchens magazine (May issue), a Nikon job, another lifestyle  Ad shoot and starting to prep for a Hotpoint job.  I have a piece in the Q&A section of Beautiful Kitchens, February 2012 issue, where I am on their Expert Panel.

I then did a stint on national radio for LG Electronics, talking about how to have a stress free Christmas – ill post the link so you can have a listen.

We’re now working on another job for Nikon and a big lifestyle shoot for Kersaint Cobb, which I am really excited about ;0)

Tips on vintage styling:
- Use old medicine bottles as vases, clear glass look best.
- Use old french linen as a tablecloth, embroidered edging looks super cute.
- Hang vintage bags on door knobs or if you have one, on the corner of your metal bedstead.
- Shabby chic some old pine chairs, take a look at our guide on ‘How to Shabby Chic furnitre’.
- White metal bird cages are still a firm favourite, try filling one with tea-lights and hang it above your dining table as a feature light.
