St John Ambulance Testimonial

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

First Aid Friends is one of the finest publications the organisation has produced in a long while. You must be very pleased with it.
Richard Fernandez, Head of Communications, St John Ambulance

Simon Chadwick turned our idea into a stunning reality. First Aid Friends, like Simon himself, is brilliant!

Re-new Testimonial

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

“I run a mobile car body repair business in Southampton.  When it comes to marketing and promotions I aim to differ from the competition so that our customers remember us when they need help.

A few years ago I decided to send out Christmas cards with a cartoon showing Santa Claus with his sleigh and reindeers.  I asked Simon Chadwick from Ceratopia to design something witty.  I received several drafts with ideas much funnier than the ones I had suggested.

I also asked Simon to illustrate postcards which we send to our customers.  Within a few days Simon sent me several brilliant drafts.  All of them will make our customers chuckle.  I have to confess that I had some difficulties to decide which one to do first.

I know that some of our customers now collect the cards, which means that if they need our help they know where to go.

I can thoroughly recommend Simon’s services if you want to put a smile on your customer’s face and be remembered.”

Cartoon Courses

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Winchester Discovery Centre have asked me to run a cartoon course in February (very kind of them). There will be two versions, one for adults and one for kids. The idea is not to teach you how to draw your favourite cartoon character but to bring out your own abilities and style. I’ll also be doing a single-day kids’ cartoon workshop during half-term, with changing themes each hour. If that sounds interesting, visit www.discoverycentres.co.uk/winchester

Going Live

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

Just doing some final tweaks before going live tomorrow. I’m chuffed to bits with the site (a huge thanks to Vizzit, and in particular Mark Piggott). Now all I need to do is pull my finger out and get some stock in the shop…
