People often say I have a lot to say, so it was just a matter of time before I joined the social media revolution. The great thing about living and working in London is that I’m in the epicenter of creativity, surrounded by thousands of fellow creatives and a whole world of their beautiful creations and inspirations.

I love to share my thoughts, dreams and everything that gets my imagination flowing, so connect with me on Twitter and Pinterest for a glimpse into my creative world. Find out what inspires me, excites me and what furthers my love for the world of visual communication. But it’s not all about me! My favourite part of social media is hearing what you have to say. What inspires you and what catches your interest. So click that follow button and let’s start a conversation!

What does it take to get to the very top in advertising? Let alone to stay there for over thirty years?

The cupboards full of D&AD pencils, IPA Effectiveness awards and Agency of the Year accolades they say all that needs to be said about the quality and consistency of his extraordinary body of work.

T.E.A.M – Together Everyone Achieves More is the brainchild of graphic designer/ illustrator Melvin Galapon.

Galapon has collaborated with three of the UK’s most exciting illustrators/ artists of today, Hellovon, Pomme Chan & James Dawe, aiming to combine his own fascination of geometric shapes and patterns with his collaborators individual style and creative vision. “Each collaboration is a separate project with that artist, although having said that, from what we’ve done so far there seems to be a visual theme of hard-edged lines mixed with organic flowing forms, which I guess is a reflection of my thinking and each of theirs.”

T.E.A.M showcases and explores the idea of working together to produce something more than what can be achieved alone. Exploring and collaborating with others has resulted in a range of different outcomes, producing an exciting collection of work on show. The collection will include beautiful silk scarves, cushions, and handkerchiefs, a selection of screenprints and risoprints, as well as the originals created specifically for the show.
