PENGUINPIG

You've guessed it PENGUINPIG is one of those super exciting projects that I had the most fun bringing to life earlier on in the year!! 

It is a story of a little girl who reads about the cute little character on the Internet and decides that she must go out and find one. Not telling her far-too-busy parents, she follows the instructions from the website and sets about in search of this delightful creature. But does the adorable PENGUINPIG turn out to be what she had hoped…?

The book is aimed at children aged between 5-7 years of age and sends out an important message to both children and their parents about safety on the Internet – an important topic with children as young as 3 now accessing the Internet on a daily basis.

It was last Wednesday PENGUINPIG fever hit Wrights of Louth at the official launch and I have to say the day could not have turned out any better. Stuart Spendlow (the author) and I had fab time seeing everyone's reaction the book and i've never drawn so many PENGUINPIGs in one day.

TOP SECRET ...

Hellllllo there!!! I'm back ....Well I haven't actually been away, i've just been working on some super cool projects which will be revealing themselves later on in the year (I promise its exciting stuff!!) 

In the meanwhile heres something I promised to share with you an age ago:

The title of this blog is how it all started with an email headed "TOP SECRET" landing in my inbox  (As they often do!) this particular email then lead to a beautiful gift for a "Wife to be" (Laura) from her finance on the morning of there wedding ...these are some of pages that were put into a book called 'Our story so far...' Laura loved it and we thought it was a pretty ingenious way for groom to score some brownie points before there marriage even began!! 

If you've got a TOP SECRET idea for a project that needs bringing to life ...then don't wait around, get in touch 07870752480

I've been designing lots of above two just recently - I like to call it sharing sparkle with precious memories. These made perfect bespoke christmas card and thank you designs.

The websites are live!!!

I mentioned a while ago I'd been designing some pretty cool websites for primary schools and I promised when launched I'd share, so here we go....

This one was for Humberstone Junior Academy they asked for a classic story book feel.

Check it out here - its fully animated (...it's like magic!!)

 The next was for Beeston Rylands Junior School they asked for a design to fit around there nearby canal. 

You can have a peak at here

Its great fun working with Primarysite so it pleases me to say I'm currently working on more projects them which will be full animated by ME!!!

No News is Good News!!

It's been a while....In this case my deafening silence is defiantly the cause of good news. The last few months have been the busiest to date and what's even better than that I've been working on some of the most enjoyable and exciting projects. From websites for primary schools, bespoke wedding stationery design to super 'TOP SECRET' projects...I'll be sharing all shortly!!! Well...when the weddings have past, websites have gone live and when secrets are out of the bag.

 I hope you agree it was worth breaking the silence!

Have you got an exciting project? Tell me all mail@amybradley.co.uk

Only 100 in print....

Yes only 100 in print of what I call possibly the happiest book around...

'Small but perfectly formed stories that will change the world’ is, according to Andy Cope (author), ‘A bit of positivity psychology self-indulgence.’ He’s taken the principles of positive psychology and written them as a series of short stories, each I have had the most fun bringing to life. We have deliberately kept this as a limited edition print run, each one numbered and signed, allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. The books cost £15 (with free postage and packing to UK addresses). They are hard cover and full colour. The perfect gift for someone you love dearly. Please note, these books will not be appearing on Amazon. Want to be one of the one hundred proud owners get yours here and enjoy!!
