We are Angela and Matt Whittaker and we started designing and making our own car stickers 6 years ago because we wanted to brighten up our own car. Now, I am offering my service to all you people out there who are tired of driving conventional looking vehicles, so you can do the same.
We live in middle England, in a small town called Shepshed, have a wonderful life shared with four kids, two goldfish, a hamster and a load of Mice in the compost bin.
I stay at home and look after the kids and Hippy Motors. Matt is a teacher and is pretty much tied up with that, except he is great at helping me in my hours of need! I make everything from scratch, and can say that quite a lot of time and care are involved in getting your stickers to you.
I know it sounds corny, but I am not only running this business as a money making venture (although I am looking forward to putting any profits towards making our home 'greener', and also a holiday!!), which is reflected in the cheap price of the stickers. I am running Hippy Motors because I believe our society needs more colour, more vibrancy and we need to send messages out to remind people about what we believe in, and what better way than through art. And I think our decorated cars are definately works of art!!! ( I sound even more corny now!!)
A colourful car makes a statement and also gets you noticed, so drive carefully! One good thing is that if you do have a bump, you can hide it behind a flower. (my husband still isn't suspicious as to why our car is covered in stickers)
We are pleased to say that due to you buying our stickers we now are able to contribute monthly to UNICEF, GREENPEACE, OXFAM, MAGS and Free Tibet. We hope to donate more to other fully deserving bodies as the business grows.
Bonjour, je suis Angela, je suis mere avec 4 enfants, et j'ai commence de designer et faire les autocollants il y a 5 ans, car j'ai voulu quelquechose a faire chez moi.
Les raisons de faire ces autocollants sont beacoup, j'aime beacoup designer, et communiquer avec des gens dans le monde. J'adore voir les voitures individuelles avec les fleurs, papillons etc. J'aime faire rire les enfants quand ils voient ma voiture. Et je voudrais faire La Paix des Routes!
