Last Supper - NY calling

Corn Chowder yesterday and homemade lasagne today. Two last suppers and a famously grand farewell dinner at 'Needham no more'. Tomorrow I fly to New York after having my last bowl of porridge at the most homely home on earth. I'll miss you more than you'll know. So long, farewell Manchester. New new york. x

Long time no see

I've been lucky enough to be involved in some delicious projects this Summer which have kept the wolf from the door and the candle burning at both ends. Borbonesa's new publication Othello - A Bestiary with floral additions is a fine edition of screen printed illustrations concertina bound between hard covers adorned with a red foil blocked strawberry. They asked me to help make the 250 covers needed for the launch, which was a pure pleasure. After working on a bespoke box for the Anatomy Project prints, I created an edition of 5 large books. Such satisfying work.
