Shooting film forces you to slow down — to concentrate on the composition and be aware of the light. No opportunities for editing post-shoot.

Here are a few favourites from our weekend in London.

Shot on a vintage 1976 Polaroid 1000 Land Camera (SX-70 film).

Ending the week with another skateboard session — making steady progress thanks to Hamish.

Some days a sketchbook is there to help you observe, other times to explore ideas, occasionally it’s there for mindless noodling. 🦑

Stealing moments between client work to design a couple of decks for the Freshwater Skatepark Auction. Exploring ideas, including a self-drawn typeface shaped by the curves of a skateboard deck. A snapshot of early-stage concept play and creative experimenting. 🎨🛹

Some more studies for that personal project that could go in any direction. These studies might lead somewhere, might lead nowhere.

This typeface I’m designing is based on a specific foundation.

A few quick lunchtime studies for a project that hasn’t quite decided what it wants to be yet.

Personal projects help keep the creative curiosity alive…

Sunshine instead of headtorches — a welcome change to the usual 5:30am starts. A gentle 10km to start the weekend.

October Observations
Another full month in the studio — packed with delicious logo, branding, and packaging projects (and more). These sketches are the pauses in between — small moments to slow down, breathe, and observe.

Shorter days, cooler mornings, and plenty of headtorch runs — 190 km in the bag this month as the year heads toward its finish line.

Glorious start to the day (if a touch breezy) joining Carvel Lane for their first ‘Sunday Morning Coffee Run’. ☀️ ☕️ 🏃🏻‍♂️

A scenic seafront route to Gurnard and back, finished with great coffee and a few New York Rolls for the troops back home.

Dark mornings, plenty of rain and a noticeable drop in temperature — but on the upside, somewhere during September I passed the 1,000 mile (1,609 km) mark for the year to date!

It’s shaping up to be one of THE busiest months in the studio EVER! So many lovely projects on the go… but amidst the frenzy it’s important to find time for personal projects and a bit of indulgent, mindful creativity.

A run of two halves. Battled a nagging headwind up Broad Lane, then flew home on a perfect tailwind.

Six months in, making steady progress, and having loads of fun. A couple of new moves unlocked this evening. 🛹
