Cannonball Tea

Lunartik in a Cup of Tea is a designer toy series created by British artist Matt JOnes (aka Lunartik). These collectible vinyl figures feature a stylized character sitting inside a teacup, blending a whimsical and minimalist design with a playful tea-themed concept. The original Lunartik in a Cup of Tea figure is a small, round-headed character with a simple face, often depicted with a tea bag tag hanging from the cup. The series includes Mini-Teas (smaller versions with various colors and flavors) and special edition teas, featuring collaborations, custom designs, and exclusive releases. The custom tea tour was a touring show with exhibitions at Forbidden Planet London, Outland Gallery Amsterdam, sixxa store Vienna, Fat Buddah Glasgow, Richard Goodall Gallery Manchester, Iksentrik Bath and the final exhibition/auction at Kidrobot London! Animator and illustrator specialising in character, creature and games design with a passion for video games, animation, cinema and comic books I take influence from all of these as well as my love and interest for nature and wildlife. I try to reflect these influences in my personal work and feel they have all have a strong and positive affect on my work over the years. Professionally I have predominatly been working with Adobe Flash for the last few years. Gaining experience working in games design, educational media, virtual worlds, social media and advertising campaigns all aimed at the children to young teen audiences. These projects have allowed me the invaluable experience of working closely with a variety of other departments such as editorial content producers, community management teams and development teams as well as working alongside other designers.
