Ricky has a cold, so he makes an unusual ‘Nose Tissue Dispenser’ to help keep it at bay. The last thing he needs is to make art in a freezing cave with his mate Michael, but their fluorescent creation brings light relief and amazing results!

Ricky is redecorating. He makes some Escher inspired wallpaper to add pizzazz to his flat, and he uses paint filled balloons to help add colour to Sarah’s flat!. Turns out this wasn’t the kind of painting Sarah had hoped for!

Ricky is lonely. He makes a puppet goblin as a friend but it mysteriously multiplies until Ricky is overrun with them. He gets his mates to help box them up and pack them off. They use the boxes to make some monstrous graffiti, but is it the end of the goblins?

Ricky oversleeps and misses Sarah’s birthday. He has to avoid her while he makes her a present using lolly sticks, a cardboard circle and some wool. He then puts on a surprise party at the gallery, but will his disguise draw the eyes?

Ricky thinks aliens have visited him. He’s inspired by Keith Herring to create an alien picture, and later finds mysterious numbers everywhere. They lead to a maze maker who helps him make am-azing art. But is it out of this world?

Ricky can’t find his lucky trunks for a day at the seaside. He sends his friends a postcard and creates a giant stamp. He then goes to the beach to make a comical montage with his photographer friend Kev. Will Ricky be lucky after all?

Ricky would like a pet, but his dad’s allergic to animals. He decides to make a ‘Fake Fido’, but when his mates Gav and Sarah ask him to look after their dogs, and with his dad on the way over, it’s time for walkies and to make amazing art on the run.
