GIVEAWAY - Cats or Dogs?

I'm quite often asked the perennial question "Cats, or Dogs?" For Mr Pickles' sake I have to choose dogs, but I am a cat fan too (as you might have guessed). I have 3 "Cat Lovers" gift sets and 3 "Dog Lovers" gift sets to give away. To be in with a chance of winning, just comment below with your preference (Cats, or Dogs?) ...

Winners will be chosen at random and announced on Friday. 
Comments are now closed and the winners are being contacted.

In happier news, here's something wot I drew for the excellent Broken Pencil magazine.

Pride and Plagiarism

It's no secret that big High Street stores steal ideas from independent designers. It's one of the reasons why I avoid the High Street like the plague. (With the exception of Marks & Spencer... where else would I buy my socks?) You'd think that, with all the money that they make, chain-stores like Topshop and Gap would be able to hire designers with the talent to come up with their own ideas... but apparently not.

brr! it's cold in here ...

The 2011 Blues

I don't know about you, but this time of year makes me feel a little blue...
I think it's the cold and the dark and the tax return...
So, I made a "Happy 2011" playlist on Spotify*. Have a listen if you like!

* Sorry, doesn't work outside Europe, apparently.
