I specialise in creative use of digital media, copywriting, and bright ideas.

I'm into technology, the arts, electronic music, design and typography, public information campaigns, and many weird and wonderful things in between.

Ready for the winter

I am now kitted out for Bonfire Night and beyond, courtesy of the underpaid staff and beleaguered child labourers of Primark.

Update: My other Primark knit jumper (not pictured - it's the same, but inverted colours) - gained me a compliment from a reveller at the Holyrood 9A pub on New Year's Eve. So it was entirely worth it!

Gutenberg 2.0

I have been having a lot of fun with an app called LetterMpress, which is a virtual letterpress.

There aren't really any shortcuts; you have to arrange all the letters and secure them in place, just like the real thing. Then you pull the ink roller thing - okay, I haven't got all the terminology down yet - and, with a very satisfying sound, it prints your creation to an image file.

Here's my magnificent first creation. I'm not sure who I'd send it to.
