We covered 2,000 miles in eight days, getting positive feedback along the way and notched up some sales. Back now and it’s business as usual.

November 2009 – Along came a spider…

We have just published a new book of nursery rhymes – Little Miss Muffet and other rhymes. In fact this was the very first book we worked on, but not the first to be published. We thought now would be a good time given the current interest in nursery rhymes in the media and apparent waning in interest by the public. We hope that our contemporary and punchy graphics will give the much-loved and traditional nursery rhymes a new lease of life. View book.

October 2009 – No night flights

Manston Airport, situated just outside of Ramsgate in Kent, is proposing to increase its quota of night flights. This will mean noisy planes flying directly over Ramsgate throughout the night. The local opposition group were looking for some graphics to help reinforce a campaign to oppose this. We came up with this flyer and logo to support the slogan as pictured below.
