The Freddo Index & Me
Back in 2000, a Freddo chocolate frog cost 10p. Today, they’re 35p. That’s a 250% increase in the price of a tiny chocolate frog, and it was the "sobering" moment I realized I needed a way to better support my family.
Rather than turning to a life of crime, I decided to lean into the one thing I’m actually good at: artwork.
Who is James?
I’m an artist based in Somerset, UK. By day, I’m navigating the 9-to-5 life; by afternoon, I’m a full-time single dad to a very energetic toddler; and by night, I’m trying to keep this shop alive.
WTR Creative is a true one-man band. Every design you see started as a late-night sketch once the house finally went quiet. I research, draft in Photoshop, and obsess over the details until it’s something I’d actually wear myself. No AI, no slick marketing machine—just me and a stylus at a kitchen table.
Why Your Support Matters
There is no "big brand" here. It’s just my daughter and me. When you buy from this store, you aren’t helping a CEO buy a third vacation home—you’re helping a dad provide for his kid. It’s that simple.
I strive to keep my prices fair because I’m a fan first. I want people who share my interests to be able to afford something they actually love without feeling that "Freddo inflation" sting.

A quick heads-up: I don’t take on custom orders right now. Between the job and being a solo parent, there simply isn't enough time, and I’d hate to let you down by rushing a design.
