Look what dropped through my door….
Do you remember, a while ago I posted about the loveliness of Crispin Finn’s screenprinted 2010 wall planner? And I was coveting it madly, but even refraining from buying it in London because of my (relative) poverty? Well I got an unexpected and awesome email from Crispin Finn, saying they saw said post and wanted...
The Daily Ampersand Project
Since leaving Uni I haven’t really started any new projects. I’ve done lots of drawing here and there but now I think it’s time to embark on something with weight and that has structure, and is something I can do everyday and stick to it. This idea originally started as a Font Book – I...
Crispin Finn’s 2010 Wall Planner

David Fullarton – Illustrator from San Francisco
I found David Fullarton’s work a while ago now (I’ve completely forgotten how I came across it, possibly just from my own mintynet meanderings, possibly from another blog) and I’m finally getting round to posting about it. I absolutely love it. It’s got all the factors that make me take notice of another illustrator’s work...

Vintage Times – lipbalm and labels
I’ve just been catching up on my RSS subscriptions and generally surfing the mintynet and I’ve stumbled across some awesome vintage finds. I know it’s the latest thing to love everything vintage but I genuinely do; things that have a history, a feel of the old, like they’ve been places, are very exciting to me....
