I'm a creator, thinker and a dreamer and I like to make things


. Welcome to my collection of random thoughts, ideas and creations, neatly packaged in the form of a website.

Don't be suprised at what you find here. I've spent a long time trying to contain my interests in the world around me but have finally given up. Instead I just write, draw and collect things, a digital magpie if you like, flying from one shiny thing to another.

Feel free to stay and look around. Who knows what you might find.

Stuff interesting me at the moment

Pinhole camera photography

Back in October last year I bought and made a cardboard pinhole camera, and I took it on holiday down to Cornwall to try it out. It gave some pretty good results given how primitive it is, and I'm going to take it out again and have another go in the coming weeks.

Just over a year ago Barack Hussein Obama II was inaugurated as president on January 20, 2009 so I though it would be a good time to reflect upon how he was represented graphically by one image created by Shepard Fairey.

I joined the South Coast Design Forum back in December and I'm hoping it will be a useful opportunity to meet like minded designers and creatives in the local area.

William Addison Dwiggins

My desire to do what I love the most - graphic design and typography, is inspired by many and varied people. The first of those is William Addison Dwiggins (June 19, 1880 - December 25, 1956), American type designer, calligrapher, and book designer. He's credited with coining the term 'graphic designer' and effectively created the discipline that I'm so passionate about.
