It’s A Beautiful Life. Acrylic paint on wooden board. This post is about my Senior Project for Richmond University.

I’ve posted a new times about the rather negative (if not also amusing) experience I’ve had with the NHS in recent months. As much as the NHS drives me up the wall, I have to admit I wholeheartedly believe in the idea of a National Health System. Especially because yes, they may have let me […]
It’s been 9 months since that fateful running adventure where I fractured my foot, did extensive soft tissue damage, and basically ruined my life. Since January I’ve managed to get out of my cast, learned to walk, done a lot of physical therapy, gradually built up hours of yoga, and swam more than 20k. I’ve […]

Civilians surged into Bethnal Green tube station to shelter from the potential bombs. At the time, the station was not finished […]
The V&A’s Theatre section has a great selection of vintage theatre posters. Here’s some of the best vintage type faces I saw: They also have a rhino that represents fascism, cause, you know, why not?
I’m currently working on a project all about the District line. Here’s a little chunk from what I covered today, while looking at my commute. For this project, it’s my intention to visit every station on every branch of the District line, and take a picture of its roundel. Today I covered Wimbledon- Embankment. The […]
The Design Museum does an excellent twitter activity every Monday at lunchtime (UK lunchtime obvs!) where they set you a drawing challenge to complete on your lunch break.
