Even though it is -3 outside looking at these gorgeous daffodils we spotted on the inspiring Decorator’s Notebook blog make us feel that spring really is just around the corner! Nice print too ;o)

Happy new year
Wishing you all a Happy New Year! We’re raring to go with some new designs for the months ahead.
Zzzzz….
Thanks for the crazy Christmas rush – we’ve cracked open the Cadburys Roses and have just packed the final orders before we put our feet up for the holidays.
Our studio will be closed from 14.30 on 23rd December until 3rd January, when the next orders will be dispatched. Lots of love and good wishes in the meantime!
Christmas deliveries
Here is the heads up on getting your pressies before Christmas. Royal Mail suggest Tuesday 20th as the last day for sending UK first class recorded mail in time for the 25th. Any orders received before 10am on the 20th will be dispatched promptly on the same day and providing we don’t get swamped in metres of snow they’ll be there for the big day.
Plan B (if you’re running a bit late or are just a bit jittery about the timings) is to opt for a ‘next day special delivery’ which is an additional £5. If you would like your prints sent using this service please contact us and we can quickly arrange this for you. We can send any orders received before 10am on the 22nd via the next day service.
There is potential for a plan C – if you’ve been super busy and Christmas has passed you by (like us!). Royal Mail offer a ‘Saturday guarantee’ service and we can look into for any last minute shoppers. Again, please call/email us and we’ll happily discuss.
In the meantime, enjoy the festivities.
Wooly Warmers
Blogging might be a bit sporadic over the coming weeks, Christmas is an industrious time of printing and packing at Bold & Noble. In the meantime, who could tire of looking at Donna Wilson’s fine woolens. Her collection has expanded, still time to make some last minute additions to the Santa list…
Herman Miller
Super chuffed to have our doodle calendar featured on the Herman Miller Design Store blog - thank you!
The World
It’s been a long time in the making, but the World type map is finally complete. The print is twice the size of our usual prints at 100 cm x 70 cm and comes in a choice of three colours – a new reflex blue, warm grey plus the ever popular sheer slate. All are carefully wrapped in tissue and delivered in robust tubes – the perfect gift for globe trotters…
Book covers at Bold & Noble
Six years ago after having worked as a book cover designer at Harper Collins and Hodder & Stoughton I decided to become a freelance designer. It’s been a hugely enjoyable time and over the last three years I’ve worked on projects for both DesignedbyDavid and Bold & Noble.
We’ve now decided to move the book cover side of the business over to the Bold & Noble Studio section, here you’ll find selected cover designs as well as commissions for a wider range of clients. I’ll still be working in exactly the same way and you can download a pdf of recent publishing projects on the site. Thanks for all the commissions over the last six years.
Mark Hearld
Managed to snatch a few minutes between baby feeds to watch this short film about the talented printmaker and collage artist Mark Hearld. Wonderful to see his inspiring designs and collectables.
Beyond M25….
We are so flattered by the kind words describing our studio on Beyond M25 who champion creatives operating outside of the M25. It’s well worth a visit!
