Peter Strain "Naughty or Nice" / Light House Cinema
It’s the most wonderful time of the year for festive commissions! The latest project we’re delighted to share is a collaboration between montage maestro Peter Strain and the innovative Light House Cinema in Dublin. To help promote their holiday films programme, Light House approached Peter to create an illustration encapsulating their annual ‘Naughty or Nice’ Christmas films line up, capturing key characters from each movie they’re showing this season.
The final magical snowy landscape hosts a stellar cast of cult and classic film characters, and really captures the contrasting theme of Light House’s season; the melancholy Edward Scissorhands cavorts with a jovial Olaf, whilst Bill Murray’s Scrooge, Frank Cross, casts a doubtful eye at Buddy the Elf, bursting with his usual festive enthusiasm.
Peter’s iteration of these larger-than-life characters was so impressive that the team at Light House couldn’t resist showing it off to more prominent effect. The artwork can now be seen in all its glory printed as a mural in the cinema foyer – just magic!

A Rich Rice Brand Re-design
We are pleased to share packaging illustrations by artist Webb Creative for Oriente, a premium rice brand out of Portugal. Webb Creative was brought on by Firecactus Creative Director John-Paul Hunter who led the brand’s redesign. Inside the V-shaped illustration, which is actually two grains of rice coming together, are Webb’s illustrations. Each rice variant has a different scene, depicting the fifth-generation owners and moments from the business’s history. As Hunter shared with Design Week: “That illustration needed to work hard, we wanted people to see something different every time.” A further dive into the meaning of each illustration can be found on the back of the pack. You can check out details of the redesign and more of Webb Creative’s work here.
