CR stitch up

Graphic Design, Illustration

One of Peter Crawley's stitched illustrations featured on the Feed section of this site recently, and in the current issue of CR. Yesterday, we got another piece of his work in the post

"Thought you might appreciate a bespoke CR stitched illustration," said the note on the back. Well yes, yes we did. It's absolutely beautiful. Crawley rendered our initials in black thread on a piece of white card 28cm square.

His other work includes illustrations of famous landmarks including the Empire State Building (the image that featured in CR).

 

and Broadcasting House

 

plus a charming series in collaboration with Ben the Illustrator

 

and these circles

See it all on his website here.

Crawley is interviewed about his work on the Mat Dolphin blog here

Those circles just take me back to 70s/80s pin & string drawings, just without the golden braid...

Very beautiful, I really like the idea of drawing with thread. Would love to see this technique done with a less precise approach, tho beautiful they seem empty. The CR piece is great because the black thread is used fill in the gaps (literally) )instead of the usual black. So simple and so effective.
