Nottingham arts day
Last Wednesday, a couple of colleagues and I took a group of year 1 graphic design students on a gallery crawl around Nottingham.http://ceoec.ru/ It turned out to be a real treat, with visits to the Alan Kitching show at the Bonington Gallery, a mixed show by four artists at Nottingham […]
Michael Brennand-Wood at NCCD
Last week, after a business meeting in Sleaford, I took the opportunity for another visit to the National Centre for Craft and Design (NCCD). I was delighted to see a truly brilliant exhibition of work by Michael Brennand-Wood. Ideas based on fusions of western and Islamic cultural influences, as well notions of memory, […]

David Kindersley
David Kindersley Yesterday, as the weather promised to be good all day, we decided to head down to one of our favourite places – Cambridge. From our base in mid Lincolnshire, it’s about an hour and a half away by car, so its relatively easy to do for a day trip. It […]
Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Yorkshire Sculpture Park Yesterday saw my first visit to YSP. The park is a delight, even in the rain! Works by Brtish and international artists abound and seem to be perfectly situated within the stunning surroundings of the park. Pieces by Moore, Hepworth, Caro, Goldsworthy and Long, plus many others impress […]
London Visit 2
London Visit 2 Whilst in London, I caught up with a friend for lunch and a stroll around Tate Modern. Then, we headed over the Millennium Bridge towards St Paul’s Cathedral. Just opposite the cathedral, we spotted some familiar eyes on a familiar face, but in an unfamiliar setting… It […]
London Visit 1
London Visit 1 The recent London trip wasn’t entirely about my Royal Academy submission. I also took advantage of the close proximity of London galleries to get along to some interesting stuff – at the RA, Tate Modern and the National Gallery. Richard Diebenkorn First up was the Richard Diebenkorn show at the Royal Academy. […]

Printmaking Friday!
Today, I’m planning on taking a break from graphic design, promoting Reverse Design or anything ‘serious’ like that. Today is Printmaking Friday!. I’ll be messing around with acrylic gels, crackle paste, sculpting tools, household filler and a whole load of other textured materials. I’ll be indulging in one of my […]

Interesting stuff at 20/21
My first trip to Scunthorpe’s very interesting 20/21 arts centre introduced me to some thought-provoking work. Most interesting we’re Alexis Rago’s intricate ceramic sculptures. These are elaborate constructions that reference ideas from life science, evolution, anthropology and sacred art, then leaves it open to the viewer to decide what the […]
Back to the future
Professor Mark Hunt (University for the Creative Arts) has recently suggested that the UK’s traditional lead in design and innovation may soon be lost, due to an over-reliance on design using digital technology. He may be right. http://bit.ly/1cAf68k I have been a graphic designer for over 25 years and a […]
The new vs the old?
I noticed that a new word marque has been created for the publisher Faber & Faber. They are at pains to point out that the famous old ‘ff’ colophon (or printer’s mark) is to remain – all that will be replaced are the italic font and typography below. I think […]
WYSIWYG heaven?
Interesting to note that Google have now entered the market for consumer web design applications with a beta version of Google Web Designer. Clearly introduced as a ‘potential’ competitor to existing WYSIWYG products such as Adobe Muse, you should note that, in reality, it is nothing of the sort. This […]
Naomi Atkinson: self promotion for creatives
Just rediscovered this excellent talk by Naomi Atkinson on how creatives can and should stand out from the crowd, in terms of self-promotion. It’s made me re-think my attitudes to how I describe my skills, my work and the way I do things. She says: ‘We promote our clients and […]
Beauty one week, rubbish the next?
Interesting Guardian article this week on the Spanish artist Francisco de Pájaro. Having moved from Barcelona to London to escape the depressed economy and restrictive laws on street expression, de Pájaro’s work pokes fun at political and media figures and the values associated with the mainstream art world. De Pájaro […]
