EIGHT:48


Not satisfied with two growing web based businesses the team behind Counter-Print and Counter-Objects have just launched their own publication. Clearly in love with all things printed and tactile Eight:48 only goes to reinforce this - the theme of issue one being "Is Print Dead ?" spread over 40 pages of a beautifully designed newspaper measuring 289x400mm.

I was kindly interviewed for the issue alongside Anthony Burril, Jason Tozer, Supermundane and Julien Vallee among others. You can read my full interview by clicking the link below.

SONG OF THE WEEK #10 / SKY HOLDS THE SUN / THE BEES


Having come back from one of the most tranquil and amazing holidays I've ever been on, waking up to the view above and sleeping in the most beautifully designed house I've ever stayed in I felt it appropriate to have this as song of the week. It reminds me of sitting outside, sun coming down, music playing, not a neighbour in sight, having breakfast wondering why I live in London when views like that are infront of me. Now I'm back and looking at a mountain of work it's nice to remember the weekend - which already seems a life time away.
