The ultimate manifestation of which is this lampshade, which features scenes from the evolution of the mermaid in the primordial swamp, (Available in several charming colourways)
complete with SPOTTY TREES;
and from our new shop at 8 College approach, Greenwich SE10 9HY


Lo! What should appear on our crab apple tree but this evil fungus which spells DEaTH

Possibly a case of life imitating art.
