I am in love with his work. It's funny because when I did fine art, I loved the painterly techniques of the impressionists, and would carry that through to my work. But when it comes to computer aided design, I love bold colours and shape. I guess if it's done by hand, I like to SEE the hand; the work that wouldn't be the same if done by computer. And if it's done by computer, I like to see the computer's thumbprint in it, completely all computer, no sketchiness about it, bold and not pretending to be anything else than it is. Proud of how it's made. I think that's when you see a warmth in computer aided design.

I've sent him a cheeky little email. Fingers crossed for a reply.

Still Alive

... just started a new, fantabulous job at a greetings card company so not much time to blog (or not making it!) Also a new years regime of yoga, tennis and herbal teas seems to have consumed me. I'm wild, honest. Talking of my new natural health kick, I was looking through 'natural health magazine', (I'm sure it's just a phase) and found a column by Janey Lee Grace and her logo by moi. Check out my branding in use at www.imperfectlynatural.com/.

Also doing a spot of house hunting at the moment. However, I seem to be doing more hunting for things to put in my house, rather than for the house itself! I've already started a collection of screenprints by myself and others to adorn my georgian townhouse(I wish) with..
