Jigsaw Journal

So you’ve got your first PieceHouse hexagon puzzle, here are our top tips for making the most of it!

At PieceHouse, we love pushing boundaries and we wanted to do something a bit different, there are many round puzzles on the market so we didn't want to follow that path we wanted to lead the way with something unique. The hexagon shape came to mind, we looked into this further and saw that no one really was doing jigsaw puzzles as this shape so we were onto a winner. 

I was always drawn to the arts, ditching science and maths whenever I could in favour of photography, painting and anything hands on. In the early stages of my career, I wasn’t working in a creative field necessarily, but I kept art close, always painting or drawing in my own time.

A lifelong artist with an eclectic style, Gerad’s creative journey spans everything from painting and drawing to digital design and animation. He finds inspiration in music, movement, and good conversation—often painting to the sound of National Radio.

I drew and painted from an early age and on leaving school took an apprenticeship as a Stereo Engraver (Photo Engraver/ Photolithographer) attending art school doing lettering. A career in the design and print industry followed, including running my own prepress and design studio for many years.

I have been working as a product photographer for going on 10 years now. I have a strong focus on food and beverage as I love to cook (and eat). I create sets and style all my own scenes which is like creating a little world for the products to sit in, this is my favourite part of the process. I love the story telling aspect of product photography too and getting to use my imagination to think out side the box and come up with creative ways to bring a brands imagery to life.

I’ve always drawn, painted and made things. But when I had my three children I had a long break from creating. I finally started again after my third child was born by dabbling in making things and then doing resin art. But I started painting again about 6 years ago.
