Success on the cards for Pike and sheep scenes
Paul Wood with his new range of greetings cards inspired by the upper Calder Valley landscape
A GRAPHIC designer has produced a range of contemporary greeting cards inspired by the upper Calder Valley landscape.
Paul Wood, of Paul Wood Design, has been a graphic designer and illustrator for 30 years but recently started selling a range of cards, many with a local connection.
His first design - a Christmas card featuring Stoodley Pike - was stocked in several outlets and proved so popular that it sold out.
Paul, of Todmorden, has now expanded his range to include contemporary images including another local icon - sheep.
“I just did this for fun and then it started to grow.
“I now have a range of cards, all locally printed too, featuring the adventures of a black sheep on the hills above Tod,” he said.
“They are proving very popular with retailers re-ordering and new cards constantly being designed.
“The landscape around here gives me inspiration for my designs.
“Hopefully I will be able to distribute my range more widely and maybe Stoodley Pike and the black sheep may conquer the world.”
