The Sketch Series✨
This week: Destination Christmas
The best festive experiences are rooted in a sense of place.
For Destination Christmas, we looked to the journeys that bring millions of visitors to Lakeside each year, pairing them with a local nod to the area’s automotive heritage.
Watch as festive flying Ford cars, driven by Santa and his crew, transform from an initial concept sketch into an immersive Christmas experience.

Cardiff, that’s a wrap! šŸ‘€šŸ›ļø
This giant 3D JD Sports bag sculpture recently took over Dewi Sant at St David’s Shopping Centre to celebrate the opening of the brand‑new JD Sports store. Bold, iconic and impossible to miss, the installation brought JD’s energy right into the heart of the city — even if only for a short time. Thanks to everyone who stopped, snapped, and soaked it in.

ST JAMES’S MARKET SELFIE | The Crown Estate, London (2025)

For 2025, we gave the iconic Spirit Selfie a vibrant new look, updating the colour palette to bring a fresh energy to St James’s Market. Complementing the signature flying spirits above, this installation blends creativity with sustainability—reimagining and reusing the core structure as part of The Crown Estate and James Glancy Design’s ongoing commitment to responsible design. Plus, every ā€˜tap to donate’ to The Felix Project triggered a magical light show—spreading joy while giving back. šŸ’š
