Hello folks!

Thanks to the wonderful people at D&AD, we’ve had a HUGE response to our request for helping hands.  Our calendar is booked up to Christmas with work experience placements, which sadly means we cannot offer any more for the time being.

But, do not fear!  Continue to send in your applications; We’ll keep them on file until we have some cancellations and/or it’s the New Year and we’ll be looking for another bunch of enthusiastic people to join us!

jelly house illustrates Business Superbrands

jelly hello!

last year, our in-house super-illustrators created some beautiful green images for our friends at M&C Saatchi for CBRE (the commercial real estate company). sadly, the recession came along and hit the building industry (a booooo!) however, a few of our pretty ones were still put to good use!

the monster-size Business Superbrands Annual 2009 – featuring everyone from American Express to N Power – has just been released, and features 3 of our illustrations on the CBRE page!!

If you can get your hands on a copy, please check them out!!

jelly hello!

In the last few weeks, Creative Handbook have released their 2009 edition full of artwork and the like…

The simple but captivating front cover was illustrated by non-other than our Artist Of The Month, Brand Nu!

CHB approached jelly before Christmas to create some design ideas.  We had versions from our other jelly babies Damien, Ingi, Jan and Migy (see thumbnails below)
