Post reads You're opening a café. You need menus. Signage. Loyalty cards. Branded cups. Staff tees. Flyers for the launch. That used to mean six suppliers and a design tool you'd fight with for a week. Now it's one conversation. You describe what you want. It arrives at your door. That's Rendreal. After 20 years building Mixam into a global online printing business, this is my next act: a consumer brand where the whole experience is one conversation. Backed by Cimpress, the company behind Vistaprint. The product works. It launches this summer. Now I'm hiring the person who tells the world. Head of Brand and Growth. Founding role, first commercial hire, reports to me. The job: • Build a brand around real objects. We sell the thing that arrives, not the technology behind it. • Run a content and creator engine. Our viral unit is a real person opening a box. • Get Rendreal recommended inside ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. New channel, no playbook. We write it.

A black and white illustration of a sci fi cowboy with robotic arm and leg jumping away from a gang of robots shooting at him
A comic page with the title 'nightwatch'. Yarrow appears through a hatch at the top of the tower asking Sorrel if he missed anything. He hasn't, and luckily he's brought tea and cards to pass the time.
A person holds up their hand in a peace sign in front of a table of zines
A digital illustration looking up from a forest floor. There is a fisheye lens effect to the drawing meaning that the forest curves around the viewer.
A screenshot of a YouTube thumbnail. It shows a really old basset hound. Like ancient. The video title reads ‘no more depression. Meatball is ready to kill’
A colour illustration of a man with his head bowed. He holds a crown out in one hand. The text beside him reads ‘am I even worthy’
A colour illustration of my character Grim. He is on fire. This is fine don’t worry, it’s kind of his thing
A colour illustration. Yarrow is carrying Sorrel in a bridal lift.
A line drawing of my character Yarrow. He is grubby and sad. It will get coloured at some point
A black and white illustration of my character Grim. He is surrounded by flowers. There is some green shading.
An illustration of my character Yarrow. We see him from the back stitching something up
A photograph of a meringue that will become the base of a pavlova
A digital illustration of two men wearing baggy streetwear clothes. One has his arm around the other
An illustration of my character Grim. He has blue hair and fox features and also he’s shouting fire out his hands and mouth. He is wearing a cropped shirt and cargo pants. Behind him it says ‘burn’
A screenshot of the document reading: In common with the rest of the creative industry, UK comic publishers and the creators they work with are concerned about the rise of generative Al, and what it could mean for the future viability of the industry if left unchecked.
A screenshot from the report reading: In particular, they point to the potential for adapting literary texts to graphic novel form, in order to make them more accessible to children and young people. One member mentioned a graphic novel edition of Beowulf which performs well in the US, where the epic poem is on the syllabus. "I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF SCOPE FOR ADAPTING CLASSIC PROSE NOVELS TO GRAPHIC NOVELS."
A screenshot of the report that reads: The plan promises an intellectual property regime which "protects and unlocks the value of historic and new creative content, creating new revenue streams for content owners and creators." This includes a Creative Content Exchange to manage the licensing and permitted access to creative IP for Al models, and exploring the potential for IP-backed lending.
A screenshot from Paheal/Rule 34 (at least. That’s where it looks like it’s from to me) that reads ‘youuuu can’t knock up nor breed a guy. Good try though!’ In reply someone has said ‘You can I’ve done it before’. Each statement is in a speech bubble as though the two characters drawn beside it are having the conversation
The top panel shows Yarrow having put on a shirt that is too small for him. His tits are out. He is saying ‘Oh, this is way too small’. In the second panel Yarrow hasn’t moved, but Sorrel has shoved his face into Yarrow’s chest and is saying ‘Yes, after initial studies it does seem that this shirt is too small, however, I think more data is required before we draw a full conclusion. Can I suggest…’
Some comic panels illustrating two fairies travelling through the wilder parts of the hedge they live in. In panel two Yarrow says ‘it’s not much further.’
