Something odd happened...
Just a quick note really to say that a letter a day has had to go on the backburner. I had visions of the first couple of months of my self employment being quite easy going, punctuated with trips downstairs to play Playstation, and going out in my kayak.
What has actually happened is a bit more exciting. I've been absolutely flat out, which is actually very good news as I'm very happy to be busy, but it has meant that a little fun side project has had to move back on my list priorities. I haven't forgotten about it all, it's just less important than my paying clients. Normal service should resume as soon as possible.

Letter a Day - Datacrunching Doppleganger Ducks!
Okay hopefully back on track, got back from Melbourne last night. As a side note, last time I did "something a day", it nearly damn killed me, and I'm determined not to do this at the cost of my sanity, so if I end up taking a day here and there off, it's only so I don't go bonkers. Apologies in advance etc.

A letter a delay
Sorry folks no letters for today, tomorrow and the next day. I've been working since 7am, and I'm getting a bit tired. I'm out of state Friday & Saturday so normal service will resume on Sunday.

Letter a Day - An Athletic Abdominal Snowman
It's day 1 of working for myself. As a little present for myself, I decided to do something fun every day of February. Last time I did something like this it nearly broke my brain, but it was also a stack of fun and I'm keen to have another shot. This time around it's a Letter a Day - I was going to go really plain and typographic, but I suffer from a pathological inability not to whack eyes and ears on things and am driven to turn any shape into a character. So here's day 1, an Athletic Abdominal Snowman.

A Letter A Day.
Just in case you've picked up one of my little postcards and are wondering what "A Letter A Day" is, for the month of February I'll be illustrating a letter and sticking it up here for the world to see. It's simply a fun project with no other aim than design for the joy of it, and to celebrate my first month of working for myself.
I'm actually not sure how carried away I will get with this project, but I'm keen to do some nice bits and pieces, so check back over the course of the month and see what I get up to!
On that note, If you have a design project you'd like to discuss please do not hesitate to get in touch - I'd be most grateful! I do print design, web design and fun (the having of).

Creative Grab Bag Book
So I got some great news today. There's a book I submitted work to ages ago and they are printed and I get a copy. Hurrah!
A little bit about the book. Ethan Bodnar, a seriously talented young designer had a bit of an idea where he would call for designers to show a.) a bit of their regular work, and b.) be assigned a task which is not something they normally do. I got digitally manipulate a photograph, which basically entailed combining my vector illustration style with a photo. Now I'm actually quite scared to see how my work stacks up beside all the other amazing designers but I'm really happy to have been given this opportunity.
And quite just stunned at how talented this young designer is. I know he's embarking on what is likely to be an amazing career, and it goes to show that inspiration comes from the least expected places.
You may find more about the Creative Grab Bag Book here and I will add some snaps from the book when it arrives!
