Zakee Shariff
Zakee Shariff
London -based artist and designer Zakee Shariff set up her studio in 1993, making art and working freelance with a variety of fashion- and textiles-based clients. In 1996 she launched the Zakee Shariff ladies clothing collection, with a younger diffusion line called Maggie introduced in 2001. Both brands were extremely popular, selling across the globe, and a cult following developed for Zakee's work. In 2005, she branched out from her clothing collections to explore different creative avenues, particularly her love of collaborative projects. The result has been a wide diversity of acclaimed new work within fine art and illustration, fashion and textiles, interior and product design, styling, publishing, and art direction. While her output has been varied, Zakee's elegant drawings, prints, and paintings remain her signature. Indeed, whether applied to fabric, paper, canvas, clothing, wallpaper, album cover artwork, or any other medium, any one of her creations are instantly identifiable as a Zakee Shariff piece. Zakee's aim always remains the same - to touch people through her work and spread a message of peace and love, hopefully encouraging people to think more deeply about the world they live in. Like a beautiful dream, all that's really required to enter Zakee's world is a willingness to open up, let go, and enjoy the ride...

I have a photo of my Lomographycustomized camera that i made along side a load of other creatives for a show that is on right now till the end of May. At The Lomography shop,   3 Newburg st London W1.   I was sick as a dog when i did mine, so i didn't get to encrust it with lots of dots that i had for it, but that's life. Some of the other cameras were amazing i loved Kate Moross's!

Just noticed that I hadn't blogged since Dec, i guess i was needing some quiet time. I have been in New York City the last week or so, and as always i felt right at home. Loved and looked after by my amazing friends out there who I am deeply grateful too. I went to see Yellow Submarine with some friends and my dear god daughter in Brooklyn. It was amazing, I can't believe i hadn't even seen it yet!!! I was in heaven.

I first came across Ugo Rondinones work in New York, and then later walking the streets of Zurich. I'm getting more and more interested in how the message of joy is used in art. For me the rainbow represents the magic of nature , spirituality, and joyful innocence..i can't seem to stop my love of how a group of such colors can open the heart, i am totally fascinated by rainbows..
