Another OGMC concert, another poster by yours truly! Had a lot of fun with the text design on this one!
Needed some Adobe Illustrator practice, so drew a giraffe. This is him.
This corporate hedgehog was inspired by a tweet from someone who misheard a request for a “corporate headshot photographer” for… well, guess what.
During one of my recent visits to Speedy’s Café, Chris the owner mentioned that they wanted to revamp their menu. So I offered to do it, and this is the result: new art and a somewhat modernised, cleaned up layout that nevertheless keeps key elements such as the red awning as a logo. During the design process, we thought about adding some vignettes that tied in more closely with Sherlock, but decided against it as not to clutter the menu, and also to avoid potential copyright issues.
I’m @speedyscafe right now and finally getting to see a ‘real’, printed version of the new menu I designed for them 😊

Black cats are the absolute best at graphic design. And they know it, too.
All my Sherlock TfL posters, 26 in total.
I’m thinking about having them printed in A4. I also plan to publish two A6 postcardbooks that will contain 13 different motifs each. Prints and postcardbooks are going to be available at my storenvy.
Prints and postcardbooks are available now:
- set of all 26 motifs (only five available)
- TfL Postcardbook #1 (contains 13 motifs)
- TfL Postcardbook #2 (contains the other 13)
- single A4 prints
All of the sets have sold out now and of some motifs (such as the Speedy’s one) only one print is left. Thanks a lot to all who bought them.
All my “Take the Tumblr” posters. I realised yesterday when I dug out the Death Frisbee one that I never posted the full set. They were created in 2011/12 and were inspired by this Map of Tumblr and London Transport posters of the 1930s and 40s.
The third one also shows some of the Sherlock fandom memes that were around at that time, like John liking strawberry jam, Martin’s and Ben’s striped tea mugs (as evidenced by a setlock photo), Anderson’s fascination with dinosaurs, and Ben being likened to a hammerhead shark (this was before the otter thing came up). Those were the days, kids …
Bringing this back from the OIden Days of Yore … :D
aww, these are brilliant!

Do’s and Don'ts of Designing for Accessibility

- Deaf or Hard of Hearing
This is so important…for all designers out there.
So much to learn from this!
I wish i could send this to my email provider. I don’t know that i fit into any of these categories necessarily, but look how often"use a logical layout" appears, for example. We ALL need that!
apropos of this, most of the second half of last week's 5 live science talked about accessibility in tech. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0009jw0 . Broadcast oct 20, streams for 30 days, might turn up on the podcast page? (I havent checked that out, jkst caught up with it tonight) so 19 days remain.
lovely!
Cover illustration and binding design as well as interior sample spreads of the book version of my WW2/Codebreaker AU Enigma.
The book contains both Enigma and Silent Night with all their original illustrations (at least one per chapter), as well as some information about my sources and research. 540 pages, full colour throughout, size 24 x 17 cm, hardcover.
The book is up for preorder now at my storenvy. Preorders will run until the beginning of April, after which the book will be printed. There will be some copies available for those who didn’t preorder, but I need some estimate how many copies to print, hence the preorders. If you’d like a copy, but can’t afford one now, please let me know. There will also be a giveaway at some point.

I may have the thing printed earlier than April, mostly because I can’t wait to lay my hands on actual books :)
But it’s difficult to decide on the exact number of copies. The plan so far has been 100 (that’s what the price is calculated for, anyway), about 20 of which are already spoken for. The number might go up if there was a sudden, huge demand, which, however, I don’t expect judging from the number of preorders so far.

WOW, that's gorgeous!
Screenshots of the layout of my upcoming Enigma book.
I hope to get the typesetting and layouting done before the weekend, so that I know how many pages it’s going to be (around 530, I reckon) and subsequently the width of the spine, so that I can paint the wraparound illustration for the binding.
WOW
