Hello and welcome back to my podcast Control Alt Delete. This is Emma Gannon speaking and thank you again for tuning in to another episode.

So today's guest is Alice Tam. She is a full-time illustrator running her own business from a studio in South London. She is the

creator of a popular series of illustrations of birds wearing a variety of hats. I

actually have a selection of these prints hanging in my bedroom as a present from my boyfriend.

You can find her products online at her shop Alice Tams.com

or in the Etsy shop and physically in some of her stockists.

In December 2013 Alice drew a penguin in a Christmas hat and jumper and had used it on some

of her Christmas card designs.

The following year in December 2014, Alice was contacted by several of her friends to tell her

that they'd seen a very very similar drawing in a supermarket on a jumper featuring a

Penguin in a hat wearing the same Christmas jumper.

They all thought that Alice had licensed her penguin design to this supermarket.

Well, because it looked pretty identical to Alice's design.

We talk about how she dealt with that legally and all of the lessons

along the way. I hope you like this episode and enjoy listening to our

conversation and make sure you follow Alice on line at Alice Tams across most of the social medias.

Thanks again for tuning in.

Here it is.

Hi Alice.

Hi, this is so nice to have you because I obviously have your illustrations on

my wall in my bedroom and I've since I received those as a gift I've followed you on Instagram and I love your stuff.

Thank you very much.
