Famis

Had a big spike in twitter activity yesterday.  Steph McGovern from BBC Breakfast business tweeted a picture of loads of my cards she had bought in Newcastle.  She has 75,000 followers so I got some really nice tweets about my work (ahhhh) nice to be appreciated.  Chris Ramsey the comedian is a friend of a friend and he liked his Best Daddy in Hebburn card (in the TV show he became a Dad)!
Soooo I'm now available for red carpet events should anyone wish to hire me!! haha!

Scouse Badges flying out the door

Soooo on Thursday I put the Scouse badges on the website for our wholesale shops and then everyone started ordering them!! How fab! Nice to see them leaving!! Best get some more made!

Mug Gate

AAArrrggghhh our mug supplier decided to stop manufacturing the mugs we have been using (unless we bought 8 billion from them) so we have had several weeks of what we refer to as "Mug Gate".  Finally after lots of emails, phonecalls, wasted sampling fees we have now sorted out "Mug Gate" and have just ordered our first bulk order as had completely ran out of mugs!!  The designs work even better as they are printed from top to bottom - they look really fresh.  Phew! They are due to hit the shops next week.  Copy cats beware we are going to kick your ass with our new products! wwwhahahahaha! #strokesbigwhitecat

Woo Hoo!! #doesalittledance

Great week this week.  First of all our new agent for Liverpool has been cooking on gas and has got us into 5 amazing stores AND the Tate Gallery Shop!! We are SOOOOO pleased as this is a huge deal for us!  Then the lovely Lisa Martin (fellow Geordie bird) put a little write up on her blog which is nice as I'm in good company along with some other lovely designers and illustrators.  click here
We had a meeting about products currently being designed which are all at various production stages - OMG we have 7 new products due to be launched before the end of the year.  No rest for the wicked!

Whos your Bezzie Mate??

Heres the latest design for the Scouse Stuff range which I think says it all!  Its also on a mug (which looks lush) so looking forward to getting them out into stores.  We have just had quite a bit of interest in the Scouse Stuff range got a big retailer interested....... as usual I'm sworn to secrecy til its all signed sealed and delivered.  Blimey this design business is a bit cloak and dagger sometimes!

New Range of Scouse Stuff now on sale!!

Ooooh! New Scouse range went live on 1st January and already have been picked up by Liverpool Tourist offices at Albert Dock and at John Lennon Airport. I love the Yer Me Weerld card - I can even say this one is a Scouse Accent. My lovely mate Jan Weedall (who is a Scouser) helped with all the sayings and kept me right!! First reactions have been very positive so I think this range will do really well. Next area already started.... I'll keep you updated when I've got something to show!
