There are no boundaries to what kind of design can be produced. However, the designers are restricted to using the same ingredients. They are given a set size, A2, and a limited palette."

  • The show is currently taking place in the upstairs gallery of Howies store, Queens rd, Bristol, and runs until 11th July.

  • Limited edition Giclee prints are being produced by Hello Blue, on 350gsm, 100% cotton, acid free, fully archival paper.

    • 28-10-2009 - Film Awards at Compass Festival

    I went to see 'Bear With Me' screened at the Compass of Desire Festival last saturday night. There were some wonderful short films from all over the world, as well as a super talk from a psychologist/phychiatrist about desire.

    It was a really lovely surprise to find that my little animation won me the 'Best Local Film Maker' award as well as the 'Audience Award' - meaning it was most popular amongst the audience present. So happy they enjoyed it >.<

  • Sweet Station is a much frequented and favourite blog of mine - so I'm stoked to have had a recent feature from the lovely folk over there >.<

The short films are going to be screened at the Cube Cinema next Saturday 24th October at 8pm. If you're in Bristol and not familiar with the cube then it would be worth coming just to check out the lovliest independent cinema in the land!
