Chris Beddoe: Designer / artworker
Chris likes…

After escaping from Smethwick College, Chris joined the internal print studio at Hyperrama where he became the undisputed king of poster production. This was followed by a four year stint as a freelancer in his native West Midlands. He then moved North and fulfilled his true destiny by joining PCD: “If I didn’t work at PCD then they would probably question why I kept turning up every day, so it works out best for both of us.”
The most stupid thing he ever did was “Grabbing a long dog poo thinking it was a stick to throw at someone. Needless to say we were both surprised!” He once frightened children by dressing as an obscure character called Vid Kid (“a lanky kid in an ill fitting costume with a wobbly head on”) while working at Burger King.
Chris can stop the heart of a goat simply by looking at it long enough.

"People driving slower or faster than me". Tins with the labels not facing forward…
