The Steam Machine reminds me a bit of Deep Thought from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy film. I choose to believe that this is intentional.

Heating engineers came to spec up the house for some work yesterday. We forgot that this sign was in a cupboard they needed to inspect. The engineers were... bemused.
It's not mine, I hasten to add.

Nice heels, Vladi.
Time and time again 'strongmen' can't help but demonstrate just how insecure they are.

This is the sort of thing that I'd do. Ship emerging, stars/planets/galaxies but distorted by ripples/waves. Classic sci fi adventure typography in that kind of 70s style. Bright, non-macho colour that is a contrast of the blackness of the space-water and gives a sort of colour inversion effect.

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover.

My fifth book of the year was Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. An enjoyable and easy read through some incredibly dark and cynical subject matter. #booksky

Something I threw together that feels very salient currently.
I don't feel like I'm doing as much as I could be. I'd be interested to know of any UK-based anarchist groups/communities/etc. that are doing good work and need people/art.

And here it is finished. It may not be perfect, but I do think it's in the running for best bin made from the knackered walls of a caravan of the year.

Today I am building a four-compartment bin out of these bits of aluminium caravan siding. It won't be pretty, but it ought to work.

This 'shorthand' system is something that has been percolating for a long time. Today I finally got it to the point where I can write things with it. I think it looks pretty good!

Designing a logo for a company/venue that doesn't exist (yet?). A #graphicdesign exercise I keep coming back to. A reference to Moby Dick, of course.

Gotta say Secret Files: Tunguska. I *love* 2.5D point-and-click adventure games, and this is one of the greats. It's silly (moon logic abounds) and kinda sloppy (each character's name gets about half a dozen different pronunciations) but it exudes charisma and style.

With the news that they're going to demolish Grenfell tower, here's a Grenfell memorial design concept I came up with a while ago. #grenfell #architecture #grenfellmemorial

Enjoying working on my upcoming project. I really want to make typography and graphic design an integral part of the experience.

Plan for my upcoming interactive story project. Unsure about whether to continue making it in Tuesday JS or move over to RenPy. It feels like being playable in-browser is important - I know both do both, but itch has filesize limitations I might hit
