Meet the artist: Olly Sussams
In this blog series, we get to know the artists behind the brilliant Little Print Shop of Horrors posters 2024 collection. You'll discover the story behind their poster concept and where you can find more of their awesome work!
We welcome Olly Sussams, the talent that is Creative Sparks' very own Design Director. Olly claims that 28 Days Later is the ultimate horror movie!
Olly, please can you tell us about your poster idea, and why you chose this concept?
"I wanted to create something beautiful out of a fungus that turned people into zombies."
Olly, what inspired you to take part in the Little Print Shop initiative?
"Anything that uses creativity for a good cause excites me"
We'd love to hear more about your career journey, and biggest achievements so far?
"While working at We Launch, I had the opportunity to create the identity for the Jamaican Bobsleigh Team… yep, can you believe that? Mic drop.I was a junior designer at the time, and the creative director gave us plenty of time to play, sketch, and design tons of options. The whole project kind of felt like a dream, especially when we discovered that the team didn’t actually have a sled and had to borrow one at the Winter Games.
The branding was used on the official Puma kits, which received plenty of press coverage due to the team’s legacy. I do love a bit of sports branding."

We massively appreciate the kind donation form our artists this year, without them this initiative simply would not have happened. So a huge shout out to Olly for his brilliant work and kindness.
