Happy New Year
January 10th, 2012
One week into the new year, a little late I know! but best wishes to you all and thanks for checking in. I’m now living half way between two houses and both are in disarray so neither feels like home right now. I can’t wait to get the fun part done – decorating! Whilst the

Lab Partners – retro perfection!

Geeez, I’m going a bit crazy with the blogging today (procrastinating you could say) but I just found these guys and their work has got me excited like I haven’t been for ages! Lab Partners are a creative duo based in San Francisco who work wonders with the gocco printer. They sell their hand printed

August 3rd, 2009
At last I can now share with you a job I completed a few months ago. Elmwood commissioned me on behalf of ASDA (huge supermarket chain, for all you non UK visitors) They needed new artwork for their own brand facial tissues. The first pics show the cube box design followed by the flat box
