I get inspired by many things I see or hear everyday. There is always something new to learn which will help you improve and move forward in a more positive way. This video, narrated by the very excellent Henry Rollins pretty much sums it up in 3mins 40!

Take a few moments and check this video out, its very inspiring and if you were ever doubting yourself about something or if there was something you wanted to do with your life whether it be to travel, create something or start your own brand/business then this video will surely set your mind on the right path!

Dont just think about doing something…DO IT NOW, there is no time like the present!!

Long time supporter and customer Andy Campbell was kind enough to send in this awesome video of him and his buddies skating and pulling off some rather cool jumps! I always enjoyed watching skaters doing their tricks but sadly could never pull any of them off myself!

Check out the video and look out for a little appearance from Edward.

Big thanks Andy!

I recently got a message from long time follower, Liam K Ralph, a.k.a ROCK STAR TOYS, letting me know of a tattoo he recently had done of none other then Edward himself! I was totally blown away to see the FIRST EVER Edward Teabelly tattoo and feel extremely honoured to have the brand logo tattooed on such a loyal supporter!

Big thank you to Liam for getting this done! Its things like this which make running a brand such fun. There is alot of work that goes into it but seeing these kinds of things really make it all worth while and really does give you positive feelings and exciting ideas for the future!

Its always inspiring to get a personal thank you message from a customer who has been supporting and following the brand. There really is no better feeling than getting an email or message like this!

Big thanks Liam!

As a big movie buff ive been super excited for the latest Marvel movie, The Avengers, or Avengers Assemble as its known here in the UK (which doesnt have a ring to it if you ask me). I took some down time from my mad brain storming sessions of late and headed to the flicks to check the movie out today and boy was I not disapointed. It was an amazing and fun ride from start to finish!!

After checking out the movie I came across this funny video mash up of what the Avengers could have been like back in the day, rather amusing.

I was recently contacted by the good folks over at Random Stranger about having a cool little feature on their website and was asked if I would be kind enough to answer some questions which they would post up. Ofcourse I was happy to oblige, so check out the Random Stranger homepage to check out the interview with all my answers in full detail.

I always used to look forward to Easter as a kid, most likely because of all the chocolate eggs aswel and the egg decorating competitions we had in school! Oh and not forgetting the easter bonnets we also used to make!

What was most fun though was the easter egg hunt we used to have at home, searching the house high and low for hidden eggs! Fun Times!

Happy Easter folks

As its Easter time again I thought id so a  fun little sale and give you folks a chance to grabs some fresh goodies in the tea shop with a special discount code.

Also, every single order throughout April will get something little extra thrown in to open so dont miss out!!

Keep an eye out for other  fun things happening soon, along with new designs and products hitting the tea shop.

April 1st is here, the perfect time to play tricks and jokes on your friends, family or just random strangers…hell why not! Its fun and any time to make someone laugh or scare them is totally cool with me.

I loved April fools as a kid, always gave me an excuse to think up something wacky or stupid!! 

Btw, the gorilla jumping out the fridge is my favorite!

One of the best parts of building and running a brand is all the connections and friendships you make with people…either at an event, personal emails or just from being a customer/supporter of what it is your doing. There is nothing more important to me then having that strong friendship and connection with other people through something you both share a love for.

It was recently the Johnny Cupcakes 1 year anniversary of the London store, sadly I couldnt be there this year but it was such a thrill to speak with friends (who were friends even before ET was launched into the universe) who had attended, and to recieve such an awesome photo of them showing Edward Teabelly some love gave me such a lift! Thanks a ton guys!! These are the connections and friendships that last a lifetime!

Big thanks to Matt Thompson, An Maes, Tor Charlesworth and Keiron Ashton! Cant wait to hang again soon guys!

For as long as I can remember ive made lists of anything, whether it be things to do, to get, films to see, places to visit or just general things that inspire me, if there is something I can make a list about, I will!

Its an important thing, especially in a creative sense, it helps in alot of ways to just let your brain grab some fresh air for a second..plus it always helps you to stay one step ahead and know exactly what you want to do, create and release!

Todays word is PLAN!
