Emily Laughlin is a illustrator, and colorista, known for her delicate and beautiful versions of Johanna Basford´s art.  In this episode you get to know her, and what it is about Johanna´s books, fineliners and Ergosoft pencils, that she likes so much.  We also talk about her "rule of three", and how she achieves balance in her pictures.  And of course, what she, and Johanna Basford, talked about, when they met in person, earlier this year!

När Johanna Basford utlyste en målartävling, av en bild ur Ivy and the inky butterfly, fick Martina Brisegård idén att måla Ivy som ett spöke. Den idén visade sig vara briljant, och ledde till att hon blev en av vinnarna i tävlingen.  I det här avsnittet pratar jag med Martina, om hur hon gjorde, för att få Ivy att bli självlysande.  Vi pratar också om hur hon gör bakgrunder med Ergosoft, olika sätt att ta hand om sig själv efter en utbrändhet, och knep för att göra målandet mindre prestationsinriktat.

Pokemon Go has been the runaway success of the summer but why is it that some games, hobbies and activities become crazes while others do not? Is there a secret formula? Johanna Basford, the illustrator behind the current adult colouring book craze and Cheong Choon Ng, who invented the Rainbow Loom, explain how they managed to get their ideas off the ground and loved by millions. We hear from psychologist Ben Michaelis that insecure people are more likely to engage with crazes than people who have a lot of self-confidence. Matthew Alt, co-founder of Alt Japan, a company which produces English versions of Japanese games, explains why so many childhood crazes of the last 30 years including Transformers, Power Rangers, Tamagotchi and Pokemon started in Japan. Presenter Aasmah Mir also takes a trip down memory lane, trying out hula-hooping at a class in London after enthusiastically abandoning the fad 30 years earlier. Is she any better now? Hula-Hoop teacher and performer Anna Byrne explains why the craze is making a comeback. But not all fads are harmless fun. Sometimes playground crazes can go wrong and have devastating consequences. Sabrina Lippell talks openly about the tragic death of her twelve-year-old son William Stanesby after he took part in the so-called ‘choking game' that encourages participants to restrict their airways.
