I attended the Optimum Well-Being event on the 3rd of March. I created the brochure for the event and also had a stand at the event for my business. I’ve never really been in the Old Hall part of Crewe Hall – more so just the modern extension and converted barn area which is now where the offices for various local businesses are located.

I just wanted to share some of the quick pictures I took of the Hall. The place is pretty immense and I’m a big fan of the figure carvings which were all around the staircases. Even the toilets were amazing haha (no pictures of those sorry!)

One for the Hipsters…

More awesome ceiling

Pretty awesome ceiling.

The South Cheshire Chamber Business Awards were held at Crewe Hall, a truly amazing venue. I had never been to a black tie before, so to be honest, I didn’t know what to expect. The night started with me feeling quite socially awkward as the room filled up with faces I didn’t know, and dressed up looking glitzy.

After finishing the 3 course meal the awards started. I was slightly nervous… After seeing who I was up against I honestly thought I had no chance, after seeing a name on that list I thought they had it in the bag. As I started to hear Jo from Bentley speak about the winner, that oddly enough sounded like me, I was in a bit of shock… did, not, expect, that. After that everything is a blur lol. I went up on stage, collected my award and did a speech from the top of my head in front of 200+ business owners, had a few pictures and sat back down, still in shock. The nerves had gone but I was still shaking like crazy! After the awards were over, it was all go, pictures, interviews, networking, buying mum glasses of wine, the lot!

Well done to all those who won this year, including CTC Physiotherapy who I shared a table with, such a great bunch of people (we had the lucky table!). And to all those who were nominated, as Dr. Gav said to me before, you have already won by being in the book that so many business owners read through. There’s always next year

It’s a great feeling to have this type of recognition for my business. I did things the odd way round and started my business by working with clients overseas, mostly in America. However, I’m now trying to work locally, to make local businesses and individuals look awesome, in person and in pixel. This award will definitely kick start that!

I have a lot of people to thank, for giving me support and believing in me to get the job done. Firstly to all the clients who chose to work with me and trusted me with their hard earned cash – especially those who have worked with me from the start, throughout the price rises! Thank you to my parents and friends for backing me up and supporting me throughout. Redshift radio and the hub for getting me into the local offline networking that I hadn’t been involved with before. And finally to Jo and all the Judges from Bentley Motors, I’ll see you in five years to collect my Bentley GT

I am a shy person so this was a big step for me ;) Thank you to those of you who listened, if you want to listen back go here. I daren’t listen back (I hate my voice haha!) but hopefully I eventually managed to get my words out properly. I was a tad nervous!

Anyway, I wanted to get you involved in something I’m getting into. Since having someone suggest a random combination for me to put together and illustrate I’m getting into the habit of doing it more often. I like to get my followers & likers to suggest combinations, previous ones being Killer Monkey With A Machete & Angry Cat’s Ice Cream Disaster… so you get the gist of it. The person who comes up with the idea I roll with gets an A3 print. Not bad…

Get involved on the three29design facebook. I also do it on twitter but it’s better on Facebook as you can get a convo going between a bunch of people easier.

See you there!

Since completing the Walther Propaganda piece last year if had a fair bit of interest in it. I planned to get screen prints done in December however I had to go into Hospital which made me push things back a lot but I am planning on getting them done this year. They would be two color screen prints on a cream textured stock in A3 size and of course, they’d be limited edition. So if you’d be interested in one let me know!

Send me a picture if you buy one for your wall :)

There’s a Stanley Kubrick Exhibition being held in Paris from March to July and the email was from La Cinémathèque Française who are putting together a virtual exhibition to bring together quintessential artwork paying tribute to Kubrick. They wanted to know if I’d like to exhibit the Full Metal Jacket piece I had created on the Virtual online Exhibition that runs alongside the main exhibition.

This will be the first time any of my work has been an exhibition and wow a Stanley Kubrick one? Based in Paris? Pretty cool eh?

I’m a big fan of Kubricks work, and Full Metal Jacket is one of my favourite films so this means a lot to me!

For those of you who have visited this site before, there’s been a little change. I decided I didn’t like one page sites anymore and I wanted something easier to update as this is my second website so this cleaner looking website now runs on wordpress. Simples!

Things are still being set up and put together but hopefully you like it. Let me know if you have any issues or find any bugs so I can sort those out.

Thanks
