In the Collectable Forest, a meteorite floats inside a little magic circle.
The tree‑presences whisper softly among themselves, like big friends guarding a secret.
Barry and Bathtube walk past on their way to the Pits’n’Pots nest, leaving the magic behind them.

This week we're looking back at one of Mike's earlier creative projects.

This is the cover illustration for A Few Days by the Sea by author Alan Barnett, featuring The Audron, the fictional seaside guest house at the heart of the story.

Creating a book cover is about more than producing an attractive image—it's about capturing the atmosphere of the story and giving readers their very first glimpse into the world they'll discover inside.

Looking back at one of our photography projects: North Wales Images – A Personal View.

This landscape photobook is a collection of images taken during our journeys through North Wales, places, landscapes and moments that caught our attention and inspired us.

At the back of the book, we included an index with the location of each photograph and the name of the photographer.
A different creative journey from our more recent work, but one that remains very close to our hearts.

North Wales Images – A Personal View is available on Amazon.
