We're loving it...

On a visit into town today we chanced upon some of our artwork.
Unaware of the timings of the release of the Looney Tunes McDonalds 'Happy Meal' promotion, this took us buy surprise when we noticed our illustrations, and that's also the reason for the mobile phone pictures.

Yippee!! Another excuse to eat!

Bitte Toy Fair Fun!

There's two of us to spot at the Nürnberg Toy Fair this year. Keith Opie (The Dad) and Vanessa Hodgson (Lady V)

For those of you who we have appointments with, we're very much looking forward to meeting you. For everyone else, you'll be sure to get a visit. We leave no stone unturned.

Have a great visit...  See you all there!

HOMEWARD BOUND FROM LONDON TOY FAIR!





Physically drained and still travelling at 117mph.....  Swollen feet and aching backs are 'par for the course' at these Toy Fair events.  If you're not ready to drop, you've still got people to meet and greet.

"No pain, no gain" they say, and right they are.  From aisle to aisle and stand to stand, we gave our all.  From our familiar friends to the first time callers, we treaded the carpet and won the day.
Another success for the posse!

Here's to our showcased work through the day, and to our new friends we met on the way!
BOTTOMS UP!

TOY TIME!

Tick toc, tick toc......

Still counting down to the imminent toy fair visits. This month (tomorrow actually) you'll see us at London Toy Fair and next month we jet off to Nürnberg for the biggest toy fair on planet earth. Hope to see you there.

We've ditched the A2 portfolio and opted for modern technology.
Oodles of megapixels to whet your appetite. Be the first to view the delights of our most recent work...

Auf Wiedersehen!

LEGO - 'CITY' Fire & Police

Our brief for lego was to create new LEGO CITY characters. This process involved mastering the styling and humour of Lego characters. We produced pencils, vector linework and colour art.
This set of characters has been rolled out and used on a range of products including stationery and apparel

CHICOS - Winnie the Pooh/Cars Wooden Products

Playhouse & Desk/Activity Bench
Bespoke art was created for these wooden toys.
We created pencil concepts through to linework & rendered art to add more 'play' value & 'storyteling' to the individual items.

ToyShock - Barbie

We produced various eyecatching designs and packaging artwork for this range of Barbie outdoor products.

New Studio


We have arrived...Finally!
After much heartache we eventually moved into our bespoke studio/offices. With now only the smell of fresh paint and varnish to distract us it's "All stations go!"
