Pick Me Up Preview at Somerset House

Last night the Lazy Oaf team traveled down to London's Somerset House to preview this years Pick Me Up Contemporary Graphic Art Fair and we were overwhelmed by the amount of good stuff on offer. The fair is occupied by presentations from some of the world's most exciting graphic design collectives and galleries and showcases 20 of the best emerging graphic art talent in the Pick Me Up Selects exhibition. Running over three floors across multiple rooms, we devoted almost three hours to exploring every piece of artwork on show. Top discoveries included dream-like landscapes by Tom Sewell, cosmic  collages by Miles Donovan and tear-jerkingly funny drawings by Cachetejack. Here are some of our highlights:
