Ben Ogden - Ben, sorry, forgot to mention it, but shared the poster on FB the other day, here: https://www.facebook.com/vetnurse.co.uk/photos/a.934367496594060.1073741827.183078125056338/1440037452693726/?type=3&theater

Hi Ben, Yup, I am working on that. Think it needs to be done as an animation / video else too much text to fit in one image. But I am playing around with it!

Meantime, I've had the posters back from the printers and happy with quality, so they are now available to buy:

Sal, just so you know, they do bear the VetNurse and VetSurgeon logos on one side (you don't see that unless you click one of the other images in the 'shop').

Ta muchly - I have a few friends who could find them in their Christmas box this year - I like to start early with the Christmas shopping

Update:

I've ordered a couple of the posters myself, to check I'm happy with the quality, before I make them available to buy.

Meantime, I thought the cartoons were so good that they could be used on some other things too. So I have created some exclusive VetNurse and VetSurgeon mugs, which are on sale here for £10.30 which includes a 5% royalty which I shall be donating to VBF.

Thanks Bouteloua and Gemma21

We're just putting finishing touches to the poster today; it should be available for practices later in the week.

Love this!

Gemma21 — Sat, 18 Mar 2017 06:34:43 GMT

This is brilliant!

Arlo Guthrie — Fri, 17 Mar 2017 08:58:54 GMT

Great, thanks all, glad you like it! Next stage is that we are just doing some last minor edits. Then I will upload the file to two different printing services myself and order copies to check quality. Once I'm satisfied, then I'll post a link where you (or rather your practices), can buy them. I guess it might be another week before they're ready.

I think it's fantastic! I really like the sensible messages made with humour. The cartoons are marvellous)I love em.

even if someone fails to read it, the cartoons help tell the story.

well done to all involved. Hurrah!

Arlo Guthrie — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 18:09:06 GMT

So, drumroll, here is the first draft of the poster design. Actually, there is a typo in there which has to be fixed yet, and another small change to be made. But what do you think?

These are all fab. We had one of our nurses produce a panto at xmas and she changed some xmas songs to suit veterinary life! Might get to make a practice specific poem. Great idea

Thanks Alison Clare Hickman, Sal the 1st, Celine and Alexa1994.

Sal, I'm working a range of other ideas for posters too. In fact, I'm developing a series of them to try and help practices communicate important messages to owners, not least what incredibly good value veterinary care generally is.

[quote user="Celine"]love those books!![/quote]

Must say, I've been surprised how many people (including my wife) remember the books. Actually, you have given me an idea. I was going to keep all the originals myself, but I might offer one or two as prizes for something ... your chance to own an original artwork!

Alexa1994 — Mon, 06 Mar 2017 10:11:03 GMT

Interesting love the context and cartoons

Celine — Mon, 06 Mar 2017 08:46:47 GMT

This is WONDERFUL Arlo!! As an aside my partner likes to call me What-a-mess after I've been out walking the dog, due to my carefully windswept look and random bits of vegetation in my hair. He was just asking me yesterday where my nesting birdie is - love those books!!

Sal the 1st — Sun, 05 Mar 2017 20:55:27 GMT

and as I have just spent this weekend helping to move our practice into a brand new location with a brand new waiting room you have just given me a few ideas
