Hennie Haworth recently illustrated for Link’s premier product, The Furoshiki. Link is a Los Angeles and Tokyo-based collective that aims to cross cultures and generations by bringing beautiful and functional products from Japan to the world, and from the world to Japan.

The Furoshiki is a traditional Japanese folding cloth used to wrap and carry almost anything from books and clothes, to a picnic lunch and bottle of wine. It is made from 100% cotton and printed in Tokyo using traditional Japanese printing techniques, limited-edition designs by Hennie and Los Angeles-based designer, Lucinda Newton-Dunn, add a contemporary twist.

Visit www.thelinkcollective.com for purchasing information and tips on how to use and care for the product, including step-by-step instructions for simple wrapping and tying techniques.

Hennie Haworth illustrated the cover of Stories (Headline), a hugely original anthology of imaginative fiction edited by best-selling authors Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio. Stories presents never-before published works from a Who’s Who of contemporary literature, including Lawrence Block, Joe Hill, Walter Mosley, Joyce Carol Oates, Chuck Palahniuk, Carolyn Parkhurst, Peter Straub, and, of course, the inimitable Neil Gaiman himself.

Hennie Haworth is participating in Nerve Centre of the Empire, a new exhibition recently opened at the Porthcurno Telegraph Museum, near Lands End in Cornwall. Formally the largest cable station in the world, the exhibition at Porthcurno shows what massive impact on society and technology this remote corner of south-west England had.

The exhibition was designed by Neil Tinson Studio.

Hennie Haworth illustrated for the launch of Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X10 Mini Pro. The in-store posters show the phone’s full QWERTY keypad while Hennie’s quirky renderings illustrate the phone’s many other features, including a camera, web-browsing, email and media library.

Hennie Haworth was recently featured in Japan’s Soup magazine. Hennie discusses her illustration career and her recent work in the magazine’s Real Life section.
