Museum of Modern Art get wrap

If you find yourself in New York, drop into MOMA and see some of my work, displayed alongside Jasper Johns and Chris Ofili. OK, my Map Wraps are in the museum store, not on the walls, but look at this way – you could own a Michael Hill design for a few dollars. More cities are available now including Sydney and Berlin

Young Minds Awards

It’s a bitter pill to swallow but I didn’t win Gift Wrap of the Year, though my Map Wraps were highly commended. I can’t pretend it isn’t gratifying to hear appreciation for work that starts life in my studio then leaves home, only to reappear in all kinds of places. I drew the cover illustration for Dear Dylan by Siobhan Curham (http://www.siobhancurham.co.uk/library/dear-dylan/) and shared her excitement when it won the 2010 Young Minds Book of the Year "http://www.youngminds.org.uk/

IT’S A WRAP

I’m delighted to say I’m in the final for Gift Wrap of the Year Award (part of the Gift Show of the Year at the NEC). I’ve been shortlisted for my “Map Wraps” (featuring three of my favourite cities, London, Paris and New York) which I designed last year for Lagom Design www.lagomdesign.co.uk. The winner will be announced on the 6^th of February.
