I have had blogs before but nothing I’ve kept up with (good start). Work and life tends to get in the way. Truth be told my blogging career used to work around a website or portfolio refresh before looking for a new job but over the last 9 years I’ve been running my own creative studio, Typeface.

Good friend and fellow freelancing peer Rhys Wynne has inspired me to stop complaining about how shit and impersonal the internet is these days and to do something about it, so here we are.

I’ll be keeping most of my design-focused thoughts on the Typeface website but many of my interests and hobbies cross over with my professional life so I’ll probably talk about the odd Typeface article in an informal way here.

It’s 2026 …

… And honestly, I’ve been fed up of social media for a couple of years now. As somebody who has been creating for, writing and posting on the web since the late 90s; I miss the days of RSS feeds, webrings, top 100 website lists and forums. Maybe it’s time to get some little pockets of human nonsense back online in that sea of sales, advertising, and AI.

So what (or who) is this blog for?

For me to be honest. Mainly things I can’t put on the Typeface website, a personal journal and digital footprint of sorts. It’s also a place to talk about design and photography, a home for photos, painting projects, illustrations and drawings.
