A few months ago I created some graphic prints using the Bauhaus typeface but was never completely satisfied with them being just prints. Eventually I decided to turn them into sets of stickers with the help of the wonderful site moo.com. I also created a set using the carved wooden M that adorns my business [...]
Christmas and New Year is over for another year but I thought I would post an entry about the best Advent calendar I’ve seen in a while (you’re never too old to own one). It’s based on the illustrations of Eric Carle, someone whose work I’ve loved from an early age. Once opened, a simple [...]
Here are just a few of my entries for the London Letterpool 2010.
Letterpool is a mass public art project set up to promote typography that’s found in everyday surroundings which goes unnoticed by most. The first collection was about type in Liverpool. They then decided to do one for London, I sent in a few entries and I’m really chuffed because some of them have been put [...]
I finally managed to pop along to the Ephemera Society Bazaar the other week. It was full of items such as theatre posters, leaflets, prints, packaging etc and if I didn’t have so much self control I would have spent a lot more money. This is what I ended up buying mainly due to the [...]

I’ve been pretty busy over the last few weeks with freelance work and festivals but hopefully I should be adding some new work [...]
I was planning on remaining visually unknown on my blog. Mainly because I think that once people know what you look like there’s always the chance they will start to judge, assume things or treat you a certain way. This was until a couple of weeks ago when a good friend of mine chose to [...]
I received this lovely piece of post the other day. It’s a set of dry type transfers which I managed to blag for free from Veer.com. They’re a mini promotion to advertise some new fonts they have on their site…I think – I got distracted by the words ‘free’ and ‘typography’. The plan is to [...]
It’s March already and this is my first post in nearly two months. Wow. Ok so it’s been a busy couple of months full of design ideas, work and exhibitions. I’m currently working at Caterpillar Books who specialise in novelty formats for young children; they’re linked up with Little Tiger Press (young picture books) and [...]
