Endings & Beginnings


Last week was excitingly busy. Two incredible new freelance projects (one from the wonderful world of NY), a productive client meeting and an inspiring V&A lecture (all alongside full time work in a studio). 


Amongst this creative marathon, two brilliant minds explored and co-wrote a ground-shaking article which is to feature in next months edition of Shellsuit Zombie. This magazine is oriented at inspiring students and graduates within the creative industry. Sponsored by D&AD, it will reach an incredible print run of over 15 000 copies. You can attend the launch (and pick up your free copy alongside a beer or two) on 31st May, 6-9pm, at Boxpark in Shoreditch. Should you miss out, it will also be available online (minus the beer). 

What of the article itself? Without giving too much away (would you really want spoilers?) the article is titled ‘An unfulfilling relationship’ and reaches into the very foundations of our current design industry, shakes perceptions, inspires debate and offers several well-tested solutions. Something to keep an eye out for! More information will be posted following the launch. 

The article was written together with Alix Land, a highly talented graphic designer and illustrated by Rachel Rawlings, a recent graduate from Plymouth University (she also created the illustration above). 

Last week was excitingly busy. It’s not everyone who can claim they live their dream... yet I enjoy every minute of it! 

 Just what may this week hold...

This mountain is not smoking idly...

This blog may have laid dormant for several months but, like a volcano, is about to EXPLODE again without warning, releasing with it a torrent of creative imagery and words.

There is a new website in the developing which should be up by the end of the week. This will feature many new projects with plenty still to come over the coming months! 

An exciting review of Offset 2012, a design festival in Dublin that took place mid-march, is just around the corner with the finishing touches being added as you read this. 

The explosion will be so great in fact, that this blog will be riven in two. This current feed will become a document of my activities, new work and creative writing whilst the second highlights treasures I find, from other creatives work through to beautiful type found on my travels. 

There are plenty of exciting things to come!
