Paula Scher interview

Paula Scher = fascinating, eloquent, pragmatic

Watch this video of her discussing some well known projects.
I particularly like her insights on the Citi bank logo and on her own map paintings.

Print for the Hayden-Peels

What i'm up to at the moment, very much a piece of 'work in progress'. Probably another three or four colours to print so plenty of time and opportunity to c*ck it up...

Brought this woodcut last month and have now hung it proudly on my bedroom wall. I love the sense of power and grandeur, just right for an icon like Battersea Power Station. It is by a printmaker called Paul Catherall who has done work like this and this.

Good article on how to (relatively) easily reclaim inflated bank charges.

I like the underlying idea as well, ie here is something you perhaps were not aware of and here is a solution to a common problem. We are bombarded from all sides with information which can be overwhelming at best, alienating at worst. Anything that demystifies the unknown by sharing knowledge is a good thing.

Knowledge is power.
Power to the people.

How amusing

Spent a week in New York with Paul, Phil and Max.
What a great time we had exploring Brooklyn, walking the broadwalk at Coney Island and riding the Staten Island Ferry. My Photos from the trip are here
