The Galápagos Islands Burst with Life in Amy Grimes’ New Book

 

Amy Grimes has illuminated the The Galápagos Islands of past and present with a beautiful new children's book for What on Earth books.

 

 

In Galápagos Islands: The World’s Living Laboratory, the scenes teem with life, utilising a rich palette and painterly feel to help make the topics understandable and exciting. Amy said:

 

 

“I found it super interesting learning how the different islands had such a big impact on the features of each animal, such as the shape and colour of the tortoises shells. Also that there is a type of finch that drinks blood, Vampire Finches!”

Time to Snuggle Up with Kristyna Litten

The latest DFS TV ad features some wonderful new character designs by Kristyna Litten, the ninth advert in the Aardman-designed campaign for the sofa manufacturer. Time to Snuggle Up welcomes in “the Cosy Season” with DFS’s Autumn & Winter collection starring Pumpkin, the little cat and connoisseur of comfort. As burnt orange leaves fall and swirl about her, she peeks through the windows of a terraced street watching people curl up with their family on DFS sofas. This spurs her on to get out of the cold and back into her home to curl up on her very own comfy spot on the sofa. 
Kristyna created nine new characters for Time to Snuggle Up but there were many more variations created before the final line-up was decided upon.
