Due to the overwhelming success of Clifford’s original 1972 print we thought we would release a new version with updated colours in a reduced size for those who didn’t bag the very few left from his first edition. The original print produced many years ago was drawn by hand without the use of the computer and the new artwork uses the same positive to produce this beautiful piece of graphic design.

Printed this time using water-based inks and printed onto G F Smith 350gsm Colorplan.

Edition of 200, signed.

Studied book illustration at the South East Essex School of Art and found his way into advertising. That was when he began to develop his paper products – a collection of flat-packed, self-assembled cardboard gift boxes which was soon followed with a range of slot-together animals (‘Slottizoo’) and politicians (Slottiwhozoo). These products were quite unlike anything around at the time and perfectly captured the mood of ‘Swinging London’ in the sixties with its Pop-Art influences.

Encouraed by the commercial success of his products he left advertising to set up his own graphic design business, which also enabled him to develop products for companies like Paperchase and Bloomingdales, as well as his own design projects.

Throughout his career he has continued to develop ideas along with design consultancy and today concentrates on product development for The Original Metal Box Company along with his own graphic projects.
