Let’s Get Creative – ‘Write your own poetry’
We all know people in difficulty, but I especially feel for my adult son who has recently been diagnosed with severe Autism. I tell him he just has to put one foot in front of the other, keep calm and carry on! Luckily he is spending his days being creative and has just started writing poetry.

So, I set him a challenge and gave him some of my most iconic prints and asked him to write a poem for each one. Here is what he has come up with, and his poems always make me smile!

We hope you enjoy the poems and they bring a smile to your face as they did to ours! It is so fun to see how Alfred has used words in such a creative way to reflect the feeling that the print evokes in him. As a designer, I love to work visually and am inspired by many things around me when designing these exclusive prints. It brings me such joy to hear from our customers what their purchases mean to them, creating joyous, uplifting, conversational designs is the backbone of what we do & feeds our creativity everyday!
