Retro Nation
Sunday, May 20th, 2007
I feel that of recent years the UK has become an island crazed by everything retro …it’s clear to see in our fashion, home, and even graphic design choices.

The sad sad world of copyright theft
Thursday, May 17th, 2007Oh dear, this evening I found someone lifting my web copy. I’m flattered (well I’m not particularly flattered actually be honest), but have demanded the remove it within 24 hours.
I’ve been told I’m being very generous to not name and shame them and there is quite a lynch mob gathering amongst my business friends, and the word ‘legal action’ is being being bandied about.
Funky Names Yo

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007
Riding fast on the back of oh-so-popular turquoise electric blue has made a welcome return to the high street fashion stores (very welcome in my eyes) and is set to be the hottest shade this season.
The last time I remember so many electric blue garments available to purchase was in 1996. Why do I remember this so well?
Hello Beads
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007
I’ve been working recently on a new project for ‘Hello Beads’ and this is a project I’ve really enjoyed. The original company name was The Bead Boutique, and the owner aims to relaunch and lead the market for beads and beading products.
