ANIMALVEGETABLEMINERAL

A nice little project to make use of some of the random images I have collected over the years. Using the traditional classification system of animal, vegetable, mineral to create sets of A2 posters that will be on sale framed and unframed.

If you are interested in purchasing any of the prints please email hello@sophiemcintosh.co.uk for more details. Prices start from £10.

The shape of things to come

A continuous series of tiny events is venturing into a bit of bookbinding as the cold nights draw closer. Probably just the odd pretty notebook or surf journal, mainly along the proviso of remodeling and amending old stuff.
They will be available to buy through Esty or some other such shop once they start piling up.

Stormy beach party

My friend Ed came to stay with me in Saltburn for a couple of days. The weather was dubious but one evening proved pretty dramatic. Storms out at sea and a setting sun cast long shadows over the sand dunes. It was an absolute delight to hang out and dig moats.

Some proper handmade goodness

Recently I was lucky enough to meet the chap who is the creator behind de Lacy handmade leather bags. Each bag, wallet or belt is made completely by his own talented hands.
There may possibly be some business card and swing tag designs coming shortly, which I am pretty excited to be working on. In the mean time check out his work through the website or Etsy.

Saturdays crab - what a belter!

This is definitely my favorite one so far. Really like the retro camera effect on this one. Nice and simple.

Not really a crab so allowed myself to take two photos on the same day. This was too special to miss.

Orange Thursday kind of day

Definitely a Lianne Lett sort of smashed crab.

It seems like I missed crab day at Saltburn beach this year but there are still quite a few kicking around.
Still not too sure how I feel about these fancy retro camera functions on my phone but I guess you have to try things out right?
I might photograph a crab a day and dedicate each one to a person that I know likes crabs. At the moment I'm only aware of two people so it might be a very short project.

I am absolutely smitten with these old American beach resort postcards. A very trendy band, Best Coast, recently did their album cover with their name written this way. It worked brilliantly and looked really contemporary.


I've been wanting to do a series of Saltburn Surf posters for some time now. Celebrating the longevity of the surf scene that has been happening here. Picturing the amazing coastline and the great surf for both long boarders and short boarders. I reckon this is my inspiration to get started.

The old becomes new again

Just been rifling through some old photos and stumbled across these treats. Taken on a Cosmic Symbol that an old friend gave to me after winning it in a lucky dip. I later designed his tattoo so I think the exchange was fair and square. The camera has subsequently been dropped and may have broken but I'll test it out today and see how she gets on.
