I observe and listen. Then I draw and write. My work has featured in The Guardian, Grazia, The Independent, InStyle, Red, Mumsnet, Netmums, and many more places besides. I collaborate with brands who have an interest in provenance, and relating to consumers using a more personal tone of voice. With relatability. I am always collecting experiences so please contribute. Especially to my School Rumours section. Examples here:
I hope you enjoy it.
Hello Laura Quick,
I love your work! Just wanted to let you know I was having a browse on your blog and was really enjoying the illustrations and vignettes… Little slices of life are the best type of thing to put a smile on your face!
I’ve added you a blogroll so I’ll look forward to further installments.
I am a Brit living in Sydney and running a cycling organisation called BikeWise…
Thanks again,
Jo

Dear Laura,
Oh, yes! I feel right at home here with your drawings and “text.” I am smiling and enjoying everything – don’t want to be too effusive – but I could be – I really like you work and your sense of humor. I am looking forward to many amusing moments as I follow your wit, wisdom and talent!

Brilliant! This is brilliant. Nothing beats talent and the ideas, just great. I am sure I have got a whole lot to learn from here, especially this time when I am working independently on a fashion project and someday, probably soon, I hope I get the chance to visit your studio in Hackney.
I am really inspired with the way you keep your works all handmade and that alone has given me a sense of direction for my project.
Thank you for being an inspiration, God bless you real good.
