  • STICKERS

    The stickers are available through the Etsy shop (follow the shop link) along with the cards. These are envelope stickers because, well, why lick it when you can stick it! There’s a second design, blue glasses and crown and “hello” rather than s.w.a.l.k which I know falls right into the gender trap but hey, I…

  • HELLO OCTOBER

    I bloody love October. I feel like I need to offer you all a precursor as we head on into what is, without doubt, my favourite month of the year. I’ve got a lot to flood my social media with this month so this is a sorry (not sorry) status update! I’ll be taking the #inktober challenge…

  • APPLE

    I set myself the challenge (with a little prompting) to pull together a character that I can pop onto a card to thank teachers at the end of the school year. I went with an elephant initially. It was super cute and I worked on it all day but as I’ve played around with various…

  • LOGOS AND MASCOTS

    One of the most interesting parts of going freelance and going through the motions of setting up my own business is meeting other like minded individuals and small businesses en-route to setting up their own mini empires. I absolutely love it. I’ve worked with quite a few now, mainly designing logos and mascots and wanted…

  • MUMMY BROWN

    I want to take a moment to acknowledge what could be the most fascinating colour I come across so far. I’m gonna get geeky here. Hold on. Let me grab my soapbox…*Drags out soapboxLadies and gentlemen, I give you “Mummy Brown.” It’s also dubbed Egyptian Brown or Caput Mortuum – which translates as “dead man’s…

  • HEADSHOT

    There’s a lot of science behind the notion of having a proper headshot for your LinkedIn profile, I get it. I really do. Having once been the main recruiter for a Domiciliary Care company, I’d get a lot of CVs and every once in a while they’d be a passport sized headshot on the top…

  • HELLO MAY

    Hello May! Now I’m sat back on in my creative hub – which is actually a plank of wood and a laptop on the sofa but sounds way more like a spaceship when I call it a “creative hub” – I wanted to welcome in the month with a splash of colour. So, we’ve gone…

  • FRIEDANDY UPDATE 2021

    friedandy update (April 2021) HellooOOoo friends, family and fellow creatives (or “eggs” as I like to fondly refer to you all) As many of you will know, my 9 – 5 came to an end at the close of March. I‘m using this change in circumstance to put some weight behind my creativity and from…

  • April

    Oh, howdee April. U OK Hun?

  • THE POSTCARD PROJECT

    I wanted to make a difference with my work and the postcard project seemed perfect way to start. It’s not about changing the world, it’s simply about making somebody’s world feel a little less lonely. That’s the whole concept right there. Just one postcard at a time… Hugo began life as a elephant. I wasn’t…
