Adventures in the Beetroot Field.

Recently I've been working on some promotional imagery for AITBF (London based booking/club nights, festivals) They asked me to create a family of 'twisted individuals'. Here's some of what I came up with.

Addition to Super Superficial Wall

This is now part of a Victorian style mantel piece wall illustration I've recently finished on the walls of SSF Covent Garden. This image went inside a frame above an illustrated fireplace. Photos coming soon..

Check out Super Superficial, 22 Earlham Street, Covent Garden.

Super Superficial Wall work

I have an on going project at Super superficial, Covent Garden, to transform the

Watch this space for its development...

Wallpaper* Review

The people at Wallpaper* Magazine/website were nice enough to come along down to my
exhibition at Gallery 7, Covent Garden.

I'm really happy with what they said.

"..With an inaugural exhibition of work from Louise Zergaeng Pomeroy – an illustrator awarded the coveted D&Ad Best New Blood award last year – Gallery 7 is setting itself a high standard to sustain.

Pomeroy’s work is dark to the point of downright ghoulishness .
she adopts arbitrary snippits from low-rent weeklies and adapts them to her own rather grisly designs. Comic, irreverent and technically mesmerising, Pomeroy’s illustrations offer a delicate glimpse into her left-of-centre outlook on life."

!Exhibition!

An exhibition of my work will be held in the gallery at Super Superficial, Covent Garden.

Here's what DesignWeek.co.uk had to say..

"Clothing company Super Superficial is opening a new illustration gallery in Covent Garden, London WC2.

The gallery, which will open on 3 April, will be in the basement of the Super Superficial shop at 22 Earlham Street.

Super Superficial collaborates with artists and designers on a shared-profit basis to produce limited-edition clothes.
Super Superficial’s David Kay says, ‘When we opened the store we always had the idea of putting a gallery in the basement.’
Kay says the gallery design and show curating will be by Super Superficial, and the first show will be I Married a Toyboy Convict, by Louise Zergaeng Pomeroy, who recently won the D&AD Best New Blood Award.
The show draws inspiration from real-life stories published in weekly women’s magazines.
Kay says the gallery will host shows from a mixture of up-and-coming and more established illustrators, with exhibitions from Hannah Melin and Matt Johnstone already planned."

My Illustration on Set of Channel 4 Show 'The I.T Crowd' !

The people behind the C4 show 'The IT Crowd' asked me if they might be able to use my work (the family portrait above) for the set for season 3, obviously I said yes. It aired last week, here are some pictures of my work on set!

Finally, Here are some final designs for SuzukiDen

Sorry it took me a while to upload them, I've been moving house/moving city/ haven't had the internet.

More things to come...Including something on a Channel 4 Series!!ooh

Suzuki Den

Over the last few weeks I have been working on a commission for Suzuki at a showroom in Hackney. The client wanted the interior of the showroom to be transformed and its clinical white walls to become more personalised and urban looking, similar to the surrounding neighbourhood.


I have designed a number of images, mainly portraits, with a theme of Suzuki's history and past heroes (and a couple of other iconic motorbike themed characters including an old school Hell's Angel). I painted the images directly onto the walls, using a projector.


It's a work in progress but here are some photos of the job so far..

Bend Over I'll Drive

Flyer illustration for Bend Over I'll Drive. It's a pretty straight forward portrait of a plump, smug girl's passport photo I found in a charity shop.

Topsy-Turvey

This is the image I created for a print project set by the wonderful Jonny Hannah. A collection of up and coming illustrators worked with a University from New York to produce a series of silk screen prints responding to words typically associated with London and New York. The London based illustrators (me included) were given words or phrases for New York and the New Yorkers were given words for London.

Mine is NY Cop.

D&AD

Yesterday I won a Best Newblood Award at the D&AD for my book, I Married a Toyboy Convict and my life size paper doll.

'D&AD has announced the winners of its New Blood Awards, ahead of the D&AD Student Awards taking place tonight.

Thirty six students exhibiting at the D&AD New Blood 2008 graduate recruitment exhibition were chosen as the ‘best in show’ in their respective disciplines.

They were selected by a panel of creative industry leaders as producers of the best work from the 120 exhibiting courses at the show.
