jelly celebrates Halloween with a competition

Here at jelly we love Halloween so, for a 2nd year running we are holding a competition.

Our Mascot – Mr Jelly Pants – needs to be transformed into a Halloween-themed creature.

It’s simple.  Click on the Mr Zombie Pants (as created by Michaela) and download a pdf with a template and some instructions.  Design on the template in any way you like – you hold the creative power! – put him together and send us a photograph!

The only rule is, he must follow the Halloween theme and all entrances must be submitted on the 31st October – HALLOWEEN – at the very latest.  All winners will be announced on Monday 3rd November.

Send all entries to info@jellylondon.com – don’t forget to include your contact details!

Good luck; we can’t wait to see the results!!

BIG MOUTH – created by Sim

jelly hello and good morning!

A while ago, our lovely jelly baby Sim Marriott started playing around with his new Toon Boom software; apparently ‘a bit more full on than Flash’ and designed for grander projects- the new Simpson’s movie was created with it! We were sent a short animation called Big Mouth; we find that it is the best cure for a Monday morning…. hope you enjoy it too!

New work from The Duerden

jelly hello!! Neil has recently been doing some exciting new work for Sony Ericsson and Honda that we would love to share with you!

We asked our lovely jelly baby to have a look at a set of posters to promote the UK B-Boy Championships in Brixton, London. He came back with a modern yet fitting graffiti style that worked a treat – All this AND staying within Sony Ericssons corporate guidelines! It’s all about the fluid movement and energy with an urban feel thrown in for good measure. nice one!

Neil also completed this high level campaign for Honda which will be running across the USA for sometime.  The concept was for each of the 14 illustrations to tell a little bit about the “FIT” range, whether it be about the handling or the musical connectivity. In Neil’s own words: “This was a great project, fun from start to finish and I love it when I get a set of really complex pieces to do “.

For more information on Neil Duerden, please contact Chelsie@jellylondon.com thanks!!

Alison Carmichael – IMMORTALISED IN FLESH!

This is Alison’s first tattoo design that someone has actually gone ahead and had done!
It was for interior designer, Dizzy Dezille of HONKY Design.
The tattooist was Louis Molloy from “London Ink” who did the majority of David Beckham’s tattoos.
It was only done on saturday so it is pretty sore and scabby looking!

jelly’s contribution to national poetry day

jelly good afternoon! We’ve been having a try at poetry in the office today to celebrate national poetry day… have a look at some of our attempts!!

For Chelsie:

To my Chelsie,
What can I say?
Even with rhyme there is no easy way,
To say all the things,
I really do mean,
Like lovely and pretty,
A ladylike dream!

By Chris:

I must to go down to the seas again,
To the lonely sea and the sky,
I left my shoes and socks there,
I wonder if they’re dry?

By Michaela:

There was a young man from jelly,
Who liked his cheese rather smelly,
He travelled to Kent to test out their scent,
And returned with a right ol’ pork belly!

By Charlie:

DIE. DIE. DIE. said the man
HURT. HURT. HURT. Said the man
I died and I hurt.

and last but by no means least….

By Barney:

You’ve starched my sheets again
The yeasty love you hold for them
Is admirable but stop doing it.
It’s itchy.

You’ve put creases in my jeans once more
You’re crispy behavior, it appalls
You’ve even put creases in my smalls.
Stop doing it, stop doing it.

You’ve shrunk my woollen badgers face
It now resembles kinky lace
You obviously don’t like animals.
Even though your father was a butterfly.

I’m not using your services from now on
I’ll never look upon you’re twisted apron
you’re a smelly fat head.
And you don’t eat cod.

Now i’ll start doing it all myself
Even if i keep the smells
I look far worse, i’m no better off
At least i’m wearing happy cloth.
