WHO ARE WE?
‘The only independent art and photography platform in the world.’ ~ Rick Wallington, Founder.
The Pudding’s started in 2016 as an image sharing portal to enable people to connect to their friends & family across the United Kingdom. Our Founder had also been to visit a very Famous Gallery in London, and found it totally detached, pompous and disconnected!
His vision was to make Art & Photography available to everyone, regardless of age, gender, or talent.
On exiting the Gallery, he got talking to two caricaturists who ‘blew him away’ with their skills & ideas for creating a group for emerging artists & new talent. He jumped on the train and a Facebook group and twitter feed were created.
Rick Wallington has written in national publications.
Kirsten’s website knowledge & understanding of design together with Rick’s Social Media strategy, seo & content writing , I wouldn’t go anywhere else, the price is value in itself !

Rick Wallington has given me some fantastic tips and helpful strategies to improve my social media visibility for Happyconfidentkids. Knowledgeable and ethical, I highly recommend them.
