I managed to visit Pick Me Up, the Contemporary Art Fair at Somerset House, London on its last day. The line of people waiting to buy tickets told me it would be a good show.

The start was encouraging.. I was the 100th customer so I got a free sample packs with images from the main exhibitors!
Some of the exhibitors that I really liked were Jon McNaught, Rikka Sormunen and Yoko Furusho.
I loved Jon's minimalist illustrations and I am specially biases towards him because he creates wordless comics... like me!:) If I had the money, I would have loved to buy these puddle prints from him... I fond them very calming.
I loved Rikka's use of watercolours and patterns. They were very delicate even though they were quite dense.
Yuko's work had a magical quality about them. I loved the use of stripes and polka dots:)
There were hands on demonstrations and workshop taking place but I didn't have the time to attend. The fair was much bigger than I expected and there were a lot of nice and sometime amusing stuff.
From the very last room I bought this Hippo silkscreen print by Alice Hoult :) I am partial to hippos because they inspired the creation of Miss Moti.
Here are some more images of artworks that I liked from the fair. It was great that they let us take photographs.
