Hand-cut originals

After using scalpels in the graphic design industry for over 30 years, I decided to put my skills to something more illustrative.

You'll find a variety of hand-cut originals – from intricate designs involving hours of work, to simple silhouettes for everyone's budget – on my stalls at markets and events across Bristol, UK and surrounding areas.

Jersey Christmas Stamps - Designed by So Design, hand-cut by me! The original hand-cut versions are no longer available, they were photographed professionally and then artwork for the stamps and associated literature was produced using these photographs.

Simple silhouettes, some require more thinking than others! They're completely versatile. Choose your shape. Choose your frame colour. Then select a background colour.

Greetings Cards

My paper cut designs were transferred to print and the collection is still growing.

Now you can find a whole range of cards, from the popular Red Elephant and Wildlife Montage, plus humorous sayings and popular Bristol slang - all uniquely designed and available to purchase from my online store and at markets.

Laser cut wood

A laser cutter is a great bit of kit! Not wanting to move completely away from the delicate process of hand-cut paper, I adapted some designs to cut from wood instead.

Initially using some of my popular paper cut designs, but also created a range of 'hangy thingys' and magnets. The collection is growing but for now it's mainly iconic Bristol locations – including the chimney from the popular viewing point Troopers Hill. Plus a unique range of Christmas Cards each with its own wooden decoration to keep.

Illustrations

I love detail! These fine-line illustrations have little pops of colour and some have tiny paper cut details – making each one slightly unique.

These designs have also been reproduced into greetings cards.
