museum visits


over the past few weeks i have visited the British museum in London, the Royal Armories in Leeds and the Leeds history museum.

toy fair london 09

this years toy fair ran from the 28-31st jan i was there on the 30th. i used my time there to get my portfolio around and to research contemporary toy design. Some of the most impressive things i saw were the orchid toys stand and the macmillan children's books, as well as all the mega awesomeness.
