Enjoy ♥️♥️♥️

Some advice: “finishing creative projects is a skill in and of itself. if you want to be able to finish large, complex projects, you have to _practice finishing things_. which usually means doing smaller projects.” [bsky.app]

It's great to switch tools every now and then. It helps reset your working habits and see things from a slightly different perspective. You can always return to your favourite tools, of course, but there's also a good chance you might find some new favourites. Neocolor 2 pastels & Pith sketchbook.

My dear friend @iancul.bsky.social sent me this today... it's so charming. A story about how a Japanese woman programmed a loop into the Casiotone MT-40 in the early 80s which got used on a monster reggae track. Her inspiration for the loop? Watch and see ♥️

Friends, I'm moving soon & I need to let go of many design books from my collection (including some rare ones too)? Is ebay the most convenient? Or do you know any specialised shops or sellers I could talk to? Thanks very much!

£126bn and 2.4 million people.
That’s the size of the creative industries in the UK and every DCMS Minister has had to fight HMT and Number 10 over support.
That’s about 10x the size of the motor industry and 4 x more productive.
Fishing? Less than £500 million.

Honestly if we were to rewrite The First Things First Manifesto for 2025 it could just be about creative communities holding hands against AI.
I teach the history of technological disruption. History tells me this is different. It does not end well. We have to hold hands.

“Cutting edge” design does not mean using AI to “cut out” illustrators/animators etc. Can we all please just hold hands on this? Damn.
