I’ve recently relocated to Plymouth to join Bluestone360 for a summer placement. This is a very exciting opportunity for me to gain experience at one of South West’s top creative agencies after winning a design competition launched as part of the Bluestone360 Academy. The Academy was formed to give talented graduates real industry experience. As the chosen candidate I will be bringing to life the design entry I submitted for the CHICKS (Country Holiday for Inner City Kids) charity website. CHICKS is a national children’s charity that provides free respite breaks for disadvantaged children across the UK. These breaks take place in one of their countryside retreats in Devon or Cornwall and give the children a chance to enjoy their childhood.

Having received a very warm welcome on my first day at Bluestone360 I look forward to the challenges creating CHICKS’ new website will involve. A convenient bonus of my time here is that the office in Royal William Yard is right by the waterfront and is an absolutely gorgeous location to be based.

Another recent development is that I’ve joined Twitter. Feel free to follow my process as I journey through my latest adventure!

A big thank you to Sara, Jack and the rest of the team at UHC for looking after me during my time there!

For my submission, I chose to illustrate: ‘Don’t put all your eggs in one basket’, a piece of advice I’m sure many of us have been given.

Can you spot all the eggs?

The Advice From Them project is still in its early stage and you can take part by sending artwork to:

Here’s what I submitted:
Toe Fluff turns into Cookie Fluff when you leave biscuit crumbs on the floor!

After a long absence – I’m back! I’ve been busy with a graphic design course, which has only recently finished. Please take a look at a selection of my work and feel free to leave a comment or send me an email.

Thanks as always!

The Hunt for Cute Creature blog is 1 years old old today!

There are now over 50 entries in the Monster Parade. Below are some of my favorite.

Thank you for following the blog and your comments in the last year. They’re always appreciated. ^^

I decided to take advantage of this and chose ten different images.

I’m rather pleased with the results. My photos don’t do them justice! In the above, I opted to pay the small fee that removed the ‘MOO watermark’, which was definitely worth it. With Christmas coming up I may well use these as gift tags.

The business card samples are available from MOO’s European and USA store.

An envelope I sent out earlier this summer to Mail Me Art in Surrey (UK) has appeared on their website! Check out the May submissions to see my entry in full.
