I am running a workshop this Saturday as part of the very exciting Children's Book Fair at Parasol Unit.  My workshop is on Saturday from 11-1pm.  We will be making wordless picture books inspired by my Hato Press books In the City and In the Garden.  If you would like to join you can book tickets here: http://parasol-unit.org/book-making-workshop-with-emily-rand
You will also be able to buy my books from the Hato Press stand.  Hope to see you there!

PARTY LEGS!!! Experimenting with using a bit more colour... too much?!








I was delighted to be asked to illustrate the Family Trail for the National Portrait Gallery's BP Portrait Award 2016.  I created three characters, a granny and two children, which also feature as wall decals in the exhibition itself.  If you visit the exhibition keep an eye out for them! The BP Portrait Award is on at the National Portrait Gallery until 4th September 2016 and its free. 











We are having a launch for my new book In the City on Thursday between 7-9 
at Hato Press, 6 Scawfell Street, London, E2 8NG
Please come if you can!

Some pictures from a workshop I led at the House of Illustration at the weekend, making books inspired by my books In The Garden and In The City with Hato Press.  It was a lot of fun and the books that everyone made were AMAZING!! Thank you to everyone who came.

NASTURTIUMS

I obviously have brick and dot drawing fatigue as all I want to do is paint flowers! These are my nasturtiums I grew from seeds and I love them.











I have two prints in a group exhibition at Stour Space called LOOP DREAMS 

Both of these prints are for sale for £10 each. They are a signed edition of 20.
Available at Sour Space or please email me if you would like one emilysian@gmail.com
