‘My Favourite…’ – Week 016

Huw – My Favourite: My favourite thing this week is my son Rhys’ latest masterpiece. It won’t be long before we’ll have him working here with us!

Graham – My Favourite: Homemade signage found in Albany Road, Cardiff. Do first impressions count?

Rob – My Favourite: Whilst doing some brand research I stumbled upon Innocent Drinks ‘The Big Knit 2009′. Anyone can knit a little hat and send to Innocent. They will then sell their drinks with the hats on and donate 35p for every one sold to Age Concern and Help the Aged. Some of the hats in the gallery are brilliant. If I could knit I definitely would contribute.

Creativity for a good cause. The perfect combination.

Andy – My Favourite: This hilarious mark on Huw’s head! This was caused by Huw’s son (Rhys) sticking the suction cup from his bath time book (bottom pic) onto Huw’s head. It’s made me smile all day!

Tash Watch – Week 3

We are fast approaching the final stretch of Graham’s Movember challenge. Week three has seen continued support from friends and family as Graham has now raised £113 and counting.

The highlight of this week was definitely an appearance by Graham’s tash on ITV’s This Morning. We are confident that you will soon see the tash on Celebrity Big Brother too.

The Hulk Hogan style is definitely becoming defined now but we are careful to remember that this is for a good cause, Prostate Cancer, and that Graham is doing the Huw David Design team proud.

Well done Gra, good luck for the final week!

Tash Watch – ITV Appearance

By now you probably know that Graham, along with many other men around the country, is growing a moustache for the whole month of November in aid of Prostate cancer.

Yesterday morning, ITV’s ‘This Morning’ programme had a feature on Prostate Cancer and included Movember as part of their coverage, and Graham’s tash was shown as part of their moustache showcase.

The eternally youthful presenter, Philip Schofield, seemed quite envious of some of the moustaches on display just two weeks into the month. With the sight of Graham’s tash so far  we wouldn’t be surprised if the other presenter, Holly Willloughby, invited our Graham over for Christmas dinner this year. Who couldn’t resist?

Seriously, this is great coverage for a very worthy cause.

There is still time to support Graham’s fundraising here, if you so wish:

‘My Favourite…’ – Week 015

Rob – My Favourite: Sky TV! If you follow me on Twitter you will have seen my regular moans about the appalling service I was getting from BT. Well no more! As of yesterday I am a Sky customer and their customer service has been outstanding so far, let’s hope it continues.

Graham – My Favourite: A series of photos of American soldier, Ian Fisher who allowed the Denver Post newspaper reporters and a photographer to watch and chronicle his journey into the US Army. Photographs show Ian’s recruitment, induction, training, deployment and finally, his return from combat.

Andy – My Favourite: My favourite this week was my three day trip to Berlin. An awesome place with some amazing sights, it was quite difficult deciding which image to use here. I’ve chosen this one of the East Side Gallery – the largest remaining section of the Berlin Wall.

Both terrifying and inspiring, it is definitely worth a visit.

Huw – My Favourite: This week has been a hard one for me. I’ve been suffering with man flu all week but battling on like a true trooper with the help of my favourite thing for this week, Lemsip Max. Just the job!

Tash Watch – Week 2

We have now reached the end of week two for Graham’s charity moustache challenge.

As you can see from the photo, the moustache is taking shape and we are confident that by the end of the month we will have our very own HDD Hulk Hogan look-alike.

The support has continued this week too and Graham has so far raised £83 for Prostate Cancer. You can add your support below:

We will keep you updated on the growth and the money raised as we move through the latter half of the month.

Thanks for the support

‘My Favourite…’ – Week 014

Graham – My Favourite: A luxury football table which would look lovely in the Huw David Design studio (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more).

Rob – My Favourite: Luckily we were late posting favourites this week so I have made a last minute change to mine. My brother called me Friday evening from Thailand to inform us that he and his girlfriend had just got engaged! By far, the highlight of last week. Congrats to Rich and Lou!

Huw – My Favourite: Most ideas we have are generated from a quick scribble. Graham’s moustache is no different! My favourite thing this week has to be the illustration I did of Gra to help visualise what moustache would suit him best. Fair play to Gra, he’s embraced Movember and is happy to go along with the fun.

On a personal note, I can’t wait to start story boarding Graham’s next fundraising campaign.
Andy – My Favourite: My favourite this week was my good friend Daniel Messer finally getting married to Clare after about 16 years together. Good times! Apologies for the terrible quality of the picture – I got a bit drunk and forgot how to use my camera properly.

Tash Watch – Week 1

Today marks the end of week one for Graham’s challenge of growing a moustache for Movember and Prostate Cancer.

The style of moustache has been a well discussed topic in the studio this week, going as far as Huw drawing his desired moustache on the white board.

We finally reached a unanimous decision though and Graham is now hoping to grow a tash in the style of wrestling legend, Hulk Hogan.

Graham has really taken Movember by the horns and has been using his creative talent to also promote the cause. Graham has designed this striking Movember tee that is featured on TeePay. He also features on the Just Giving website after providing the Fundraiser Tip of the Day.

This is all in aid of Prostate Cancer and we are really pleased that in the first week Graham has already raised £73 for this very worthy cause.

Why not support Huw David Design’s very own Hulk by donating a pound or two:

Thanks for all the support so far and enjoy your weekends.

The Huw David Design team.

Moo-ve over, new staff are here.

Our team has been growing in recent months but yesterday we had two extra staff that we hadn’t recruited!

These two cows decided to take a de-tour into the car park and spent a few minutes wandering outside the studio. The brown cow took a liking to Graham’s car but thankfully didn’t offer more than a sniff.

Just as we were about to clear some desk space for them, they headed back to where they came from. Shame because with the amount of work we have on an extra pair of hooves wouldn’t go a miss.

Tash Watch – Day 1

As mentioned earlier in the week, our very own Graham is partaking in Movember in order to a) raise money for a very worthy cause and b) give the rest of us in the office a good giggle.

We will be showcasing Graham’s progress on this blog over the coming month, starting today with the very first picture of a clean shaven Graham before he embarks on his moustache mission.

Despite the jest, there is a real reason behind all this and if you would like to support Graham and Prostate Cancer then please visit the site below:

‘My Favourite…’ – Week 013

Graham – My Favourite: A lovely, lovely coffee table made with antique printers’ blocks. One day it shall be mine but until I win the lottery, I guess I’ll have to settle for the pictures.

Andy – My Favourite: My favourite things this week are Cheweee bars. It’s basically a working class alternative to the expensive Tracker bar (only Trackers are good enough for Rob). It also includes amazing ‘Woweee’ facts, so you can expand your mind as well as your waistline. Currently undergoing a redesign.

Rob – My Favourite: Our new chair. It’s is one of those chairs where you can curl up and read (or in my case, sleep!). The only trouble is, we have to fight the dogs for it and as you can see in the photo, Scamps is kindly modeling the chair for us! She finally left it 3 hours after the photo was taken. Comfy chair, cheeky Scamps.

Huw – My Favourite: My favourite thing this week was seeing my parents enter the A List of Llantrisant celebrities with their appearance on BBC Wales consumer rights programme, X-Ray. Head over to the BBC iPlayer to see how they got on!
