Tarrific People!





During one of my many stops for today's projects's for Ben Branagan, I made unexpeted pit-stop at a great shop in Carnaby Street, Traffic People. Having passed it several times with much love and admiration, thought I'd have a look around and check the place out. 5 short seconds of falling in love with the stock set me off chatting with the store owner and I proposed some design work for their store. To my great surprise this was accepted and I shall be taking them on as a client! Watch this space y'all!
