Scooter & Jinx Window Display



Phil Corbett and I we're asked to come and make a lovely window display at the fabulous www.scooterandjinx.com store down in sunny Hastings yesterday.
We spent all day covered in paint, window vinyl and blisters from scalpel handles!.

The window is going to be part of the town’s local window design competition, so fingers crossed!


If you’re passing the shop at night, you will be in for a surprise as the whole thing glows in UV, and image will appear in my Flickr gallery soon.


Massive thank you to Scooter & Jinx as they were the perfect hosts!


Computer Arts #139 Featuring Rubbish Ralph

Rubbish Ralph made it onto the new computer arts front cover...

"Rubbish Ralph" is an OCD clean-a-holic, hence he is cleaning up the mess that was made by others.
To be honest, Ralph is not a fully licensed cleaner nor does he work for the council. He's self employed and loving it.
He really likes telling people he's a cleaner, Sometimes others think he's a Hitman and Ralph plays along with this and tells them white lies about his time on the streets and how many kills he's made.


Buy it in the shops today,
its a very good read!

'Lunartik in a Cup of Tea' - 'I Love Tea' Message Competition!

It’s competition time again folks!!!
Matt JOnes aka Lunartik asks you to get your kettle on once again for his new competition about why you love tea so much and what it means to you!



In 2009, Matt unleashed his first series of vinyl toys called, ‘Lunartik in a Cup of Tea’.
This year Matt has been working around the clock and has developed his first
‘Mini Series of ‘Lunartik in a Cup of Tea’ Called ‘I LOVE TEA’
(Sneak Peaks coming very soon)



Series One, The Collector’s Edition
Matt’s first toy carried a message that he wanted to share with all you tea lovers out there.
His message was ‘Take a Break’ Have a lovely cup of tea. Matt tells me the meaning to the message, “How its best to always take a break once in a while to help refresh your mind.”
and well, lets face it, you can’t beat a good brew can you!
