‘How tweets are made’ has been selected by illustration industry professionals for inclusion into the prestigious 2011 Creative Review Illustration Annual.

Designed to repeat infinitely, this quirky take on Twitter reflects its meteoric growth, while depicting a whimsical view of its back-end technology.

Originally self-published on whatimade.com this is my first industry accolade for illustration (although I did once win a national competition for a felt-tip pen drawing of a Kraft Cheese factory… a sort of, ‘How cheese is made’!).

It’s great to announce that whatimade.com has won both the Webby Award and Webby People’s Voice award for personal blog/website.

Celebrated as the ‘Oscars’ for the internet, the Webby Awards carry huge public awareness. I have been interviewed by the New York Times, contacted by book publishers and literary agents, and even had my blog appear on TV – all in the first 10 days since the results were announced. And to cap it all off, I’ll be heading off to NYC to collect my awards in person (and to meet some book publishers – so hopefully one day you’ll see ‘What I Made’ in print).
