Exciting news! The first issue of ink+PAPER is out this week. This is a brand new comics magazine put together by the fabulous David O'Connell, and it includes a photo essay by yours truly. I haven't seen a hard copy yet, but David assures me it looks fantastic. That's his cover illustration up there. London [...]

vintage bottles
More vintage stuff that belonged to my grandparents. [pictures]
vintage boxes
My mum dug some old stuff out for me to take photos of, and I posted some photos on Instagram, so I thought I'd post them here too, because I'm rather smitten with the designs.

vintage Margate
Visiting the Shell Grotto last week, I was pleased to see a display of vintage 1950s and 1960s travel posters and brochures, conjuring up an image of Margate as a glamorous destination. Those were the days…. (sorry the picture quality isn't great) They also had a couple of pieces of original artwork. I don't know [...]
