Most of my YouTube videos don’t work in High Quality mode, and instead display a garbled mess of pixels. I’m not complaining though, it’s bloomin’ awesome! There must be something worth doing with these. I was thinking a rainbow of YouTube glitchery. Having said that, it all seems very green. Maybe a project juxtaposing the […]
Alternative flag of Wales: Welsh Bands Forum
A while ago I was somewhat involved in the launch of the unofficial Welsh Bands Forum, and designed a mascot to be used in the site’s graphical identity. Sadly the forum is becoming a bit of an abandoned project but may be revived by its owner sometime in the future, at which point the designs […]

Chris Sharrock is the Dean of Arts at Camberwell University. Earlier this year I had the opportunity to visit one of his lectures, during which he spoke of his experiences as a Professor and how he has developed his own technique for being creative on demand. Of course, this is never as easy as it […]
