Percy Pig Hits the Headlines Again!

I spotted this latest Percy Pig product in M&S stores a few weeks back and didn't think too much of it. I first illustrated the Percy Pig bag about 15 years ago and it is still the same today. I have since created a Percy Pig style guide with M&S and the Percy Pig images I created have been used on homewares, food packaging and in a book. I just didn't realise until today (thanks Mrs Cheese) what a storm the launch of the Percy Pig Lolly had created on Twitter!
Britain's Wimbledon hopeful Andy Murray I have discovered is also a Percy fan!

  6. Hi Jane
    I bought a box today and as I put them in the freezer one accidentally fell in my mouth!
    I've worked on those style guides over the years at M&S. Percy is such an icon.
    You should be very proud
