About Us
In a notebook we once wrote "we wish we were cats".
"take inspired action, go for a nice walk"
We are a not-quite-husband-and-wife team that dabbles in all manner of creative activities. We met on the way to a festival in Croatia and on our journey discovered that we share a passion for music, bikes, old cars, walks on desolate beaches, photography, puns, the setting sun, a cheeky tipple, the uncanny, the odd, and the Oddy. Kerry, aka Rabbit Girl, is a writer and artist, and is in the process of making her dreams of "doing wholesome wellbeing stuff" come true. Ant, aka Gorillaface, is a designer, project manager, photographer, doer and maker, with an extraordinary eye for detail. Together we are 43k Creative.
KERRY McCARTHY
aka Rabbit Girl
Writer, artist, collector of sounds, rider of bikes, consumer of chocolate, devourer of books, and puller of yoga poses. Trading as Written, McCarthy Arts and pretty soon – Wholesome Well Beings.
ANTHONY FREEMAN
aka Gorillaface
Designer, surveyor, project manager, wielder of camera, master of wood, rider of bikes, king of manuals, peruser of abandoned spaces. Trading as tonic-design, tonic -design Woodwork and Fortythree Photography.
“Kerry is a highly creative, organised artist and an absolute sparkle fairy. She provides ideas from heaps of experience, provides out of the box thinking… and delivers on or before time… an absolute delight to work with!”
“Our goal was to move our home office from being a dingy dark room that nobody wanted to go into to a place a could happily work from home. Tonic-design got us there with an excellent eye for the practical and esthetic. We are more than happy to recommend Tonic to anyone who wants a job done well, with strong project management and a problem taken off their hands.”
