I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.

I'm not sure that I mentioned this on here, but I started a full-time job as a designer in January, hence why I've barely been updating Twitter or Instagram and all that jazz. However I WILL be sending a newsletter this weekend inc some behind the scenes drawings for this ✍️

Been contacted about an editorial illustration where the fee is £35. Not £350. Thirty-five.

a few sketchy signs from a trip to Budapest last summer. the circular one is the country-wide sign for tobacconists. also the wrought iron cables for the electrical store are a nice touch!

For context. I have illustrated the wine column for @ftweekend for 5 years. They have paid me £275 for 2 illustrations each week since 2019. Recently I asked for a pay rise. They said no.

Illustrators, would you be interested in establishing an industry minimum for editorial work?

For my UK-based graphic design friends looking for work! This is a very nice website. graphicdesignjobs.co.uk/
There are so many 'typically German' things that have become normal to me after living here for 4 and a half years. The lack of a smoking ban after 10pm in most bars! Eating ice cream in ALL WEATHER! The humble kohlrabi! So I made a German themed repeating pattern. Here it is. 🍦
An editorial illo from a while back that's relevant in this weather. All hail pumpkin soup!

I'm currently drawing a map of Leipzig but the reference points are actual relevant in-joke stuff. When was the last time someone said 'it's on the corner of X and X streets' and you actually knew where they meant? No. I'm going for 'the place where I had flies in my juice' etc.

'the bit in the park where I fell over on the ice and my hat popped off' 'the flat we looked round where the letting agent had left the hob on' 'where we saw the rat outside the kebab shop' (colloquially known thereafter as Rat Kebab) 'where was it?' 'y'know, near Rat Kebab'
