Along the way we've made badges for all kinds of creative folk, badges for illustrators and comic book artists, badges for schools, badges for museums, badges for independent clothing labels and record companies, badges for the NHS, badges for clubs of all sorts and varieties and a good old selection of musicians.
You can have a bit of a peruse of some of the badges below and lower down on this page I've also got links to some of the folk I've made badges for.
This section is going to be expanding, so pop back here to see more.

Honeytone Cody sit somewhere between love and hate, noise and silence. A contrast of beautiful vocal melodies against jarring guitar and dynamic drum beats, the result is something that earns their music a space somewhere far, far outside of genre.
Founded by siblings Elle and Elliot Nelson and recently joined by drummer Martell James, Honeytone Cody have years of collective experience under their belts. Claiming their influences range from David Lynch to Charles Bukowski, the atmosphere created by their music truly is as varied and dark as it is confident and poetic.

I was in Manchester at the end of June and particularly enjoyed the Re-Covered exhibition at
Untitled Gallery. It made me stop, wander and think. Fine stuff.

From surf oddballs the Deptford Beach Babes to the playful jazz-beebop-swoon of the Tropics of Cancer, and completely whacked out sounds of Miss Roberts and her Rude Mechanicals, this is certainly worth a listen. MP3s on www.rimrecords.co.uk and at Sexton's site.
