There’s an intriguing show on near the O2. Immersive theatre masters Shunt have built a palace of shipping containers for their latest theatre offering, The Boy Who Climbed Out of His Face. The play is akin to an acid trip – and one on which you cannot wear your shoes – and it’s a really […]
Recently my best friend got married. It was a day of incredible joy, love and laughter. It was also, for me, a joyous exercise in lending my designing hands to my friend’s special day. The bride had found an example of an illustrated guide to a bridal party on Pinterest, and asked if I could […]
Whilst driving through the country roads of Pennsylvania, I happened to pass an incredible abandoned train station, which sparked a fun little research project about some of the abandoned stations and rails in and around Allentown. The station in question is Mertztown, and it was formerly a stop on the East Penn Branch of the […]

Over two days, this small historic town hosts a festival celebrating all things chile pepper!

It’s a wonderful interactive exhibition which celebrates how far digital technology has come in a short period of time, and also leads voice to the great things still to come digitally. The exhibition is divided into segments – some more impressive than others – […]
No visit to LA is complete without a visit to the stunning and historic Los Angeles Union Station. It was opened in 1939 and was the first time one major station had been opened to serve the major rail routes and companies heading into Los Angeles. At the time, these were the Union Pacific, Atchison, […]
I took part in a Heist the other night. It was exciting, stressful, fast-paced, and sweaty. However, the first rule of Heist Club is pretty much don’t talk about Heist Club, so here’s a brief review that hopefully doesn’t give the game away too much. Heist is the brainchild of Difference Engine and is associated […]
Here are some photos from a weekend getaway to visit Stonehenge, Woodhenge (like Stonehenge, but….woodier) and the beautiful castle ruins of Old Sarum. I’m currently working on close – up and Macro photos, and these were taken with a Canon EOS 450D.
