Pick Me Up is a graphic art festival, filled with may upcoming talented artists, printmakers and designers. Held right by the river bank at Somerset House, it has been a kicking off the perfect start to sprint for the past few years. I haven't noticed much change in terms of layout of the exhibition from last year, I guess its all about viewing the works and taking part of workshops, the layout itself doesn't play a big part in the exhibition as such. This year I saw quite a few new featured artists and the exhibition, who are worth keeping an eye out for, such as Malarky and Hettie Stewart. Both artists have a unique style and a lot of vibrancy going on in their works. While Hettie Stewarts's works are more paper based, Malarky is out and about on the streets making London a more colourful place.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the whole show, it was filled with all kinds of people, creatives and those who just enjoy the art. Having numerous workshops around the place also adds to the relaxed and happy environment, and its great that you can learn a new skill while enjoying yourself at an exhibition.
