All weather invention oddities

I was asked by Goodyear Tyres to think up 30 inventions that could be used all year round, in different seasons. I was a bit of challenge to think of that many ideas on one theme. I just have to think and think and draw and think until I find them all. 3 of the ideas were made real…

It’s difficult skateboarding in the snow unless you attach a flame thrower.


An idea for a sledge that can also be used as a sun lounger.


Ice cube tray snow grips

No more slipping in the snow and enjoy ice in your drinks all year round. (3D Printing is useful)

With thanks to James Plant and Niki Wrigg for their help turning the ideas into reality.

By the way there is a 12 page article about my work in the Feb/Mar 2018 issue of Creative Review magazine.

No one has snowball fights in the summer. It seems a shame, it would be nice and warm, running around in shorts and t-shirt hurling snowballs at each other. I guess it would sting more being hit on legs and arms. Anyway here is an idea I had to bring a bit of winter fun into August.
