Dear Sir/Madam We at the TPT are so happy that our puppets brought such joy to your event. If you should ever require a wooden man in future please keep us in mind as we are all about wood... and men. Thank you for your custom once again and remember TPT makes a party. We are also looking for ways to improve our service so any comments would be greatly received. You may also be happy to hear we have a new Susan Boyle puppet, huzza! Be sure to watch out for ‘SUBO and the Dragon’ exciting no?

Yours sincerely

I would like to see more things that make me smile. Do not mistake me I can be deadly serious when need be. However I see no harm in something nice and fun or bright that makes you want to smile so long as it is appropriate. Above is my poster for The Bakers Wife which was really cheeky and people really responded to it and it was a really good production and I was happy to be a part of it.

I am recently all about type, I enjoy designing my own typefaces mostly decorative and find it oddly relaxing and effective. This was my first typeface and I have been quite taken with it, very basic, very simple very me.

now that I have your attention

What about the wildlife? Perhaps we should consider where my bison is going to roam with a total lack of foliage. It is a throbbing issue on all our minds when it comes to foliage. The steps used to protect roaming creatures and their habitats are explored in detail in this book.

orestry is a lost art, there is indeed nothing more powerful raw source on earth than that of man and his wood. The modern forest is resilient but in order to survive and provide it takes hardcore man power. The men and indeed women who work to supply us with a variety of materials, understand their great responsibility to the eco-loop and the well fare of the planet. Wood being the most widely used material in the world, I think it is safe to say we all need wood in our lives.

The book cover project was over a year ago now but I have carried on with some of the themes and the latest of the series is now possibly one of my favourite pieces of design, A Very Short Introduction to Tacos and Buritos. It was inspired by my friends halloween costume, she was mexican and it was hillarious!

Freelance pieces are possibly my strongest pieces, I’m confident with clients and present myself to an intelectual and informed level of proffesionalism, while still holding my ideas and outlandish flare. I love the freedom and feedback from clients in particular.

IQEA These pieces are now a sort of hobby. The idea of personality breaking through paper toys and resulting in small desk toys that resemble various characteristics of my exboyfriends... I’m aiming to make twenty six in total one with every letter of the alphabet. So far I’m genuinely not struggling for ideas as they come naturally with each individual. the idea is that they are relatable and cute, yet a reminder to learn from your mistakes. I love mistakes hence why I have made quite a few of them, and probably will make a few more. Featured to the left is Naught Neil, famous by his nickname BEDMAN! (as he sells beds) also because he gets drunk and shows people his naughty parts, however if you met him on a weekday he would be very quiet and shy hence the many faces.
