Micropoetry

I have taken up commuting again and to make the trip more palatable and playful I have decided that I will sculpt a micropoem on each inbound trip at least and tweet them daily on my arrival at work.

All poems are for now available at Micropoems.com in the future I intend to combine them with some photos / paintings I’m working in and make them into a little Ltd edition book.

 

Soul Mate – Redux, and adventure back into painting

The ever decreasing few who know me in the physical world as well as he digital will be aware that my background is in the fine arts and if you’ve ever had the dubious pleasure of being my house guest will be aware of the large painting that’s always adorned my walls entitled ‘Soul mate’ and dealt with the idea of sailing through life’s troublesome waters alone and searching for and hopefully finding a soul mate.

Dancing with a Cucumber

I’ve taken up a new post leading the design side of Cucumber a cracking digital agency based in Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. I’ll still be taking on new projects through this site, and with the added support of Cucumber’s accomplished development team I’ll be able to deliver much more complex digital solutions. I’ll still be taking on smaller design & Illustration projects myself though as and when something arrives that peaks my interest.

 

Just a quicky

Just a quick update to apologies to all those folks I’ve not replied to emails and requests to (I don’t like being one of THOSE people). Secondly the reason that I’ve become one of those folks is because I’ve landed some big yet quick turn around jobs that I need to sort out asap. The jobs are for 7UP through Spook Media, the Liberty Human Rights redesign and a separate campaign and some design work for the signage at London Zoo for the BIG CATS exhibit, plus numerous other projects waiting in the wings shouting at me for there attention. So if your one of those shouting for my attention I promise you’ll have it soon and I don’t mean to be an arse.
