About
Barnstormer Studios
Barnstormer Studios – a place where creative ideas bubble and fizz…
Our aim is to bring together a very diverse set of people who variously turn their hands to such things as:
Manga, graphic design, logo design, illustration, Japanese crafts and creative bakery, film-making, script writing, videography, stop-motion videos, illustration, fine art, musical composition, poetry, short stories, novels, children’s books, musical composition and performance, etc.
We love eccentricity and we hope you do too!
From illustration to cupcakes…
The man with the plan: David R. Jones

Marketing Director, PRFX Ltd, 2005 – 2008. Public Relations, Web Design and International Marketing Services.
Co-Director, Bournemouth Literary Festival, 2004 – 2010. Of his involvement in the festival, David says: “I was happy to have been actively involved in the development of the Bournemouth Literary Festival from its establishment in 2004. With very little external support or sponsorship, we managed to put on an eclectic programme of events each year and brought in a diverse range of renowned writers and celebrities including Howard Jacobson, Nicholas Shakespeare, Theo Paphitis (of Dragons’ Den fame), Brian Schofield (Travel Editor for the Sunday Times newspaper), Peter John Cooper, Keith Bennett, John Kay, Mario Reading, Louisa Parker, Sulaiman Addonia, Umon Tachibana, Natasha Farrant, Tobias Ellwood MP, Mitzi Szereto, Tena Stivicic, Guy Browning (Guardian columnist) Cefnfab, etc. The festival went from strength to strength and became a regular feature of Bournemouth’s cultural calendar. With its strapline of “A world of words”, the festival aimed to bring world literature to Bournemouth and to take Bournemouth to the world. I believe we achieved that.”
