At Buttercrumble, creativity is just what we do—but let’s be honest, it’s a lot easier to feel inspired when you’ve got rolling countryside on your doorstep!

We were excited to be commissioned to create artwork for Neville Street in Leeds. This honours the history, life and culture of the city. We delved into the past, present, and future culture, industrial heritage, music, nature, and the people of Leeds for this project.

In 2018 and 2019, we were invited to deliver our trendy live illustration service, supporting the launch of two new Seasalt Cornwall stores in  Lytham and Lincoln. We were thrilled to receive an invite to illustrate at Meadowhall, Sheffield.

Visual note-taking combines words and illustrations to make meaning of a situation or concept. It can also be referred to as “scribing” or “live illustration”, they’re essentially the same activity! It supports a range of organisations from universities to corporate businesses.

Life’s tough enough without experiencing gloomy brands too! In their Lifestyle Trends report, WGSN identified that interior design will be increasingly geared towards harnessing the power of design to “energise the mind, body and soul” (2021) by elevating everyday moments and fostering joy.

Here’s a behind the scenes look at our recent Take a Seat! project, featuring a video of the process. We painted the bench for weeks, so we could fully immerse ourselves in the East Leeds community. We painted on-site and were able to converse with a range of different people. It was a lovely experience to have following months of isolation.
