Frank recently contributed a photograph of a greasy spoon to the cover of the new novel by Jim Bob, former singer with 90s crust-punk indie crossover act Carter the Unstoppable Sex machine. The book is published by The Friday Project, an experimental imprint of Harper Collins (Design and typography by Iambeak). Pick up a copy here or check out more ‘greasy spoon’ pics here.

Frank legend Nigel is currently on a cycling trip from the very bottom to the very top of this British island or ‘LEJOG’ as it’s popularly known. Apart from one catastrophic mechanical failure, they are doing pretty well and spent last night in Worcester. You can follow his progress or find details of how to donate to his chosen charity here. You can also follow his occasional progress updates on Twitter @noproblemnigel

Leap, crawl or kick!
Frank has designed a micro-site for Train with the Champions, the latest promotional campaign from Sports Recovery brand For Goodness Shakes. Consumers have a chance to win a training day with World and European Champions, Andy Turner, Liam Tancock and Sarah Stevenson. Created in collaboration with developers W3 Digital.
In the Swim
Another fantastically packaged gift arrived at Frank Towers this morning all the way from far flung Australia. Yes it’s the eagerly awaited YOU NEVER REGRET A SWIM artwork, handmade by progressive artist, average swimmer, lazy surfer and retired skater and friend of Frank, Oliver Goodfellow. As you can see, Salvador (the Frank rubber lobster) obviously approves of the nautical theme. Cheers Ol!

Keen as…
We’ve designed and built a new website for Film/TV/Commercial production company Mustard. The site showcases the work of both UK and US Mustard directors, and utilises HTML 5 video in the animated intro sequence (produced in collaboration with Frank friends Atticus Finch). Mustard are based in London’s Soho but reside on the top level of a multi-storey car park, hence the theme!
Awesome Competition, Dude
We designed this microsite for a competition to win what does sound like an amazing prize – free flights, gear, accommodation and Heli-Skiing for you and a friend.
You’ve got until 31st January 2012 to enter. Good luck! www.ultimateskitrip.com
My Haus is a Very Very Very Fine Haus
My Haus is an online store for your house, bringing the best in designer homeware and gifts together in one place. Drawing inspiration from the Bauhaus and mid-century modernism, Frank created the identity and promotional imagery, and designed/built the full retail site, incorporating CMS and blog. www.myhaus.com
My Goodness
Following a major product reformulation and packaging revamp, long standing clients My Goodness Ltd. asked us to redesign their ‘For Goodness Shakes’ brand website. Created in collaboration with developers W3 Digital, the new site combines clear, punchy imagery with detailed technical product explanation.
Caravan in hibernation
Frank’s fruitful and long association with Caravan continues, but owner Emily Chalmer’s has now shut up shop for an extended Winter break. However, visitors can still browse the wonderfully quirky goodies and have a virtual ‘look around’ the store. And the good news is that both the physical and online shops should be re-opening in Spring next year.
Come on in, the water’s lovely…
Old friend and former colleague turned Sydney-based artist Olly Goodfellow has just launched a new online shop selling his very cool ‘Never Regret’ artworks. No digital prints here, each one is lovingly hand-crafted by the man himself. More info about Olly (including an amazing mullet picture) here.
