The Shagpile is the name for Ben’s Bird Boxes’ new range of recycled bird boxes. Following on from his last range made out of old estate agent signs, Ben Dickens decided this time to put end-of-line carpet tiles to good use. PatrickGeorge created his new logo and website and gave the site the avian treatment it deserved. Site best viewed with sound on! View site.

With some great reviews (view press) under our belt and the recent launch of our new book, Little Miss Muffet and other rhymes, we decided to take time out to travel round the UK visiting as many outlets as possible. We covered 2,000 miles in eight days, getting positive feedback along the way and notched up some sales. Back now and it’s business as usual.

Amanda Craig reviews two children’s books with magical illustrations

A Filth of Starlings and A Drove of Bullocks are compilations of animal group names, brilliantly exploited by PatrickGeorge. If you think that these are too sophisticated for a child of 6+, think again. From a parliament of owls, whose eyes are made up of two Big Ben clock faces, to a pod of dolphins (listening to iPods), a school of whales (a schoolmasterly face with a whale’s tail forming moustache and tie), these are stylish, witty visual puns. They are books to read and explain, but the elegance with which each picture is drawn would work on T-shirts or calendars. View article.

A drove of bullocks
A filth of starlings
Written, illustrated, designed and published by PatrickGeorge £9.99 each
ISBN: 978-09562558-0-8
ISBN: 978-09562558-1-5

There is a wonderful, uninhibited, colourful approach to these compilations of collective nouns. Full of charm and wit, the lively pictures are fun for all the family and immensely stimulating for young artists. The text is informative and accessible – some of the group names are very well known, but I’m certain you will enjoy the more fanciful ones. Challenge your Christmas Party guests to identify the illustrations!
