You may remember Mr Finch's moths from when we have written about his fabulous work before, but this time he's introduced swans, gold spiders, dancing mushrooms and an elegant toadstool, complete with a weekend-away suitcase. All are slightly charred with a darkness that comes through both in colour and in the alarming manner in which they look at you.
There is a beautiful book, illustrating his creations so far. "it's really a portfolio of work' he continued, as he flipped through the delightfully odd menagerie of creatures and it's a must -buy for anyone who loves this area of the creative world. For those who don't fancy committing to the book, the Mr Finch Tumblr is a good alternative.
I love speaking to Mr Finch, love entering his fairytale 'world' of make believe. Anthropologie has done an excellent job of recreating the inside of his head with Cinder Embers in its Kings Road gallery space, all dark and mysterious with plenty of insects, animals and other oddities. It's really designed for adults but I suspect that this little world would appeal to certain kids too, makes a nice Christmas alternative from Santa's Grotto.
Mt Finch's beautiful book can be bought here, and the Anthropologie Cinder Embers pop up featuring his work can be found on the Kings Road in London and is open until 4th January.
