CRYSTAL SET

The full range of six greeting cards are now available. They feature crystal forms ranging from a cube to a Orthorhombic Prism with a Dome and two Pinacoids, that's why I decided to title them Crystal 1 to 6.

HIBEARNATE

It's good to stay in this winter, just like a bear. My new Bear faced cushion is a Brown Bear on one side and an Ice Bear on the other. The cotton drill cover is screen printed in deep chocolate brown and bright icy blue. As just a cover or filled with a high quality fibre pad, both are available now at my shop.

FULL ON THE LIPS

'The Kiss' is one of several loved up designs for Valentine's Day this year. A little late I know but Material made me do it and they will be swooning the shelves soon at their shop on Rivington Street, London EC2 and available to bag at my online shop.

SMITTEN

Happy 2014...before I forget and I just have to share with you a little highlight clawed back from yesterday's twelfth night clearance - my Christmas card from Lucie. Blind embossed, die cut, tastefully designed and produced. Purchased from Present and Correct and featured with Felt & Wire and Buckets and Spades, what was your favourite Christmas card?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Many thanks to those of you who followed me and my work in 2013. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Paul

CRYSTAL SET

Before the festivities really get under way I'd like to show you a preview of a new range of greeting cards that will be available in the new year. 'Crystal' features six typical forms of crystal systems or families named according to the number of points within their natural structure...or if you fancy, just pretty geometric designs based on crystal structures. Above are Cubic and Tetragonal (top).

POP PRESS

Those creative cats Unlimited of Brighton have released their second bumper issue of the Unlimited mag stroke paper. It's full to the brim with colourful artist and designer profiles and a great takeaway that showcases what they all get up to and what's on offer at Unlimited...pick up a copy today before any Big Freeze sets in.

HAVE WINGS

My Wings series of cards, featuring six British Butterflies, have emerged from the printers and are available in my online shop. The designs has been digitally printed in the UK onto a high quality, smooth white card from a sustainable source. Each card has been left blank for your own message and is supplied with a brown fleck, gummed envelope and individually packaged in a cellophane wallet. The series includes my favourite - the Orange Tip.

UPPERCASE ROCKS

Uppercase publishes books and magazines for the creative and the curious. Uppercase magazine is a popular, international publication now in it's fourth year. It's packed with profiles on new artists and designers with an eye on emerging trends.

Issue 19, released this Autumn, has two major themes - exploring rocks and gems used in creative projects and an investigation into the aesthetics of work. I managed to have a few prints featured. 

WINTER GOES SOUTH

Designers/Makers are organising their second Christmas Market within the Festival Village at the Southbank Centre, London. The market runs from the 16th to the 22nd of December. I will have a stand from the 20th for three days selling a selection of work, including prints and home wares that could provide the solution to that last minute present
