Johnny Foreigner
Client: ITV | Agency: Poke
These are a series of spoof newspaper cartoon strips. I made them to promote the ITV show Benedorm. I also made them into a series of online ads which the client said had the highest click through rate they’d ever seen.

Malice Box
Client: Penguin | Agency: Poke | URL: www.maliceboxquest.com
This was a site for the publisher Penguin, to promote a new book called The Malice Box. The book is a bit like the Da Vinci Code - a dude runs about the place, solving puzzles and saving the world. In the book he has a GPS device called ‘The Quad’ to help him get around. For the online game we created, you get to navigate the globe using google maps. Basically you solve puzzles, guess locations of ‘Red Gold’ on the map and win prizes.
Plenty of Mexican wrestling masks and Class Illusration skills from Cesar Moreno.

Thanks, to Nokia for our N82 phone!
Tracking our progress right across America is no mean feet. Luckily we've had a good deal of help from the kind folks at Nokia, who supplied us with their latest N82 phone with Sports Tracker. It's what we're using to track our route with GPS, take our pictures and write our posts. Finally it's the tool we use to update the blog, whenever we get reception or a wifi area.
Who, What, Where, When?
Made in England by Gentlemen is a blog written by Cookie, who generally designs websites, draws cartoons, drinks too much, grows a moustache and browses the web for interesting & amusing stuff. But currently the only thing he's doing is walking northwards towards Canada with his mate Paul, if you're not interested in my holiday pics ;) and were hoping for some visual eye candy, may I suggest you check out my girlfriend's blog: Monster-Munch.
