For 30 days, 30 different creatives will take over the 55DSL space in the Boxpark, Shoreditch, and we’ve been invited to have the...
On Sunday 15th April I took part in the first Illustration & Design Forum run by Shipshape Studios; presenting a talk with advice for aspiring illustrators and designers!

I haven’t been keeping this blog as up to date as I would like recently; mainly because I’ve started a new job at Office shoes! Which is ace, very busy, am absolutely loving it. So not a lot of energy left to focus on this at the moment. I’ll do a separate post on it...
