In these times of crisis we need to Keep Calm!!!

Finally put my new Keep Calm and Carry On cards on the website this week. Sourced from the iconic WW2 poster kindly supplied by the original home of it, Barter Books in Northumberland.


Originally printed in WW2 and to be used in a time of national crisis (ie German invasion) the posters were never released, but one turned up in a set of dusty books at auction purchased by Barter Books. This artwork seems to be everywhere at the moment. I noticed James May was wearing a T shirt with it on on "Oz and James drink to Britain" - good show by the way.

Good for the recession too.
I've also been designing Christmas Cards today. Seems a bit of a head fuck in February but they need to be ready for, well about three weeks ago, as is the madness of the greeting card industry. Nearly there I think....
