I knew that illustrator and self named drawist Galia Durrant had it going on when she burst into the shop with her slightly crazy enthusiasm for all things weird and wonderful. With a dynamic individual streak she is better known as one half of critically acclaimed duo Psapp who put toytronica on the map with their multi award theme tune to Grey’s Anatomy, a music for whole host of TV shoes and commericials.
Soon Galia created a parallel universe for Psapp filled with irreverent cats, imaginary keyboards and friendly monsters that graced their album covers, T-shirts and animated videos.It’s not difficult to see the brilliance of everything she creates.
Come and have a look at Galia’s hand finished bespoke name screen prints. Prices for framed prints range from £100 TO £125 with a week lead time for the final naming process. To order or to request more details just email info@olivelovesalfie.co.uk

Alexandra came to see me a few weeks ago with a simple but lovely idea for a contemporary kids alphabet poster that doesn’t have a bias towards boys or girls. I loved her use of colour and nature inspired illustrations and thought that the poster would sit perfectly in Olive Loves Alfie. Ali went away to find a printer and returned a few days later with some gorgeous new stock for us. Keeping things simple the poster is supplied unframed in a cardboard tube so travels easily. The poster measures 100cm x 70cm and fits perfectly into standard frames.
The posters cost £55 and for an extra special bespoke version that can include a childs name and a few other details the poster costs £120 and takes upto 2 weeks to produce.
To place an order for a bespoke poster email info@olivelovesalfie.co.uk or call Olive Loves Alfie on 0207 241 4212.
