Yorkshireman Andrew Hutchinson was delighted to be asked to re-design the packaging for Taylors of Harrogate's iconic "Yorkshire Tea" and "Yorkshire Gold" brands. The brief was to make a more realistic style of image without significantly changing the overall look of the package. The illustration was also to include familiar features of the Yorkshire countryside; Andrew's painting captures it's beauty, the Dales' Ribblehead viaduct, Castle Bolton and the Moors' Rosedale mines. Super job!

Ben Tallon has completed one of his ultimate jobs! Commissioned by WWE Magazine in the US, Ben has created a set design for a feature called 'Faces Of Evil.'

Ben says "They're all original artwork....(it was a) bit of a dream job for me this one since I'm a lifelong fan of pro wrestling". In these images we see AJ Lee, Daniel Bryan, Jack Swagger and Kane.
