Track and field

Well, we all got back in one piece from our day of archery and go-karting. All nicely rounded off with pint.

John was way out in front with the arrows…

but Jack pipped him on the track with the fastest lap of the day…

Nice hat by the way!

PS. My apologies for crashing in to Harvey, Schumacher would have done exactly the same! :-D

Peter Blegvad

We are just putting the finishing touches to the poetry paper, for the Poetry Trust’s Aldeburgh Poetry Festival to be held this year on November 6-8. We are pleased that this year the illustrations will be by the inimitable Peter Blegvad, best known for his well-loved pithy Leviathan comic strip. Peter is also performing at the Festival. We are just receiving the images now – here’s a foretaste of what is to come…

Gone twanging!

If you tried to contact us on Friday 8 October, well, sorry. We were out on our annual funday  - a SP tradition which began twenty-five years ago with welly throwing on Frinton beach. This year we are trying our hands at archery. We’re expecting some sore mouse hands for a few days!

LPO: Music to our eyes

How to capture the colourful sounds of the London Philharmonic, the Philharmonia Orchestra, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and London Sinfonietta was the question posed by SouthBank at the start of the 2009/10 orchestral season. And as so often, the clue was in the question: Colour. We commissioned artist Andrew Foster to come up with the expressive images. We are thrilled that they have taken their place on huge hoardings on the Southbank. London Eye candy, perhaps?

The Italian job

Favini, the Italian paper manufacturer will be launching several new brands at the international exhibition, LUXEPAC, to be held in Monaco later this month. We are proud to have rebranded this long established company and can’t wait for the launch of the new papers and, of course, the brochures and swatches to go with them.

One of the brochures features this scarf, worn by our own Sara which uses the colour bar from printed sheets.

Continuing on the sartorial note, we are thrilled to have hooked up with David Downton for another of the Favini brochures. David’s reputation amongst the world’s couture houses is second to none. Whilst preparing our images, David was working on a special portrait of Kate Blanchett!
