Curiouser Creatives: Meet Alice B Simpson

Curiouser Creatives: Meet Alice B Simpson

AliceCuriouser Shop
I think a lot of my ideas are just collage -taking two or more things and smooshing them  together - and that is often funny in itself. I love classic art because it's so serious but all it needs is a little change to make it hilarious. To be honest I wish I had the courage to be naughtier some of the time, because I find a lot of humour in being irreverent.

Ian is the kind office guru here at Curiouser. He makes sure everybody gets paid on time and helps to keep all the paperwork up to date.

He is full of good chat and has background in theatre, counselling, NHS Education and all the things that make people consider the Greater Good. He is also the only business partner who doesn't run away at a sight of a camera. Let's get to know him a bit better.
