Once again we took the Handsome Frank podcast on the road, this time to a snow covered Liverpool to meet up with the wonderful Joël Penkman. Based in Maghull, on the northern outskirts of the city we turned up at the beautiful mid-century family house that Joël and her partner James call home. The smell of fresh coffee and freshly baked bread greeted us, offering a very welcome sanctuary from the unseasonable elements of the morning.
Sitting down in a sun soaked front room, we talked to Joël at length about an array of subjects, spanning from her journey from Christchurch NZ to the Liverpool suburbs, and how she discovered, and mastered, the ancient art of painting with egg tempera.
Fix yourself a cup of tea, make yourself comfortable and join us for an art adventure that spans the globe and the centuries. Listen to the podcast over at our website; https://www.handsomefrank.com/insights/read/joelpodcast

Granado is a historic Brazilian apothecary that produces a range of cosmetic and personal care products. In 2020, Granado celebrated its 150th anniversary, and to commemorate the occasion, they commissioned Laurindo Feliciano to create a series of illustrations for their packaging and branding materials.
Feliciano’s illustrations were inspired by vintage Brazilian advertising and design from the early 20th century, with a focus on botanical elements and natural ingredients.
The resulting designs feature colorful, whimsical illustrations of plants and flowers, with a hand-drawn feel that evokes a sense of nostalgia and heritage, including a pop-up store at the famous Galeries Lafayette in Paris, located on the Champs Elysées.
