Reykjavik for Show Us Your Type

 

Here's my Reykjavik poster for Show Us Your Type. They've just reaunched their new website where you can see posters created for 17 cities and you can also see all my posters together. 

Why not contribute your own for the next city Madrid?

 I've been adding to my bookshelf this week; I found some beautiful Bloomsbury Classics, a few Austen's with the beaut covers by Leanne Shapton & the new(ish) Keigo Higashino.

 

 

June Playlist: Galaxy

 

I often forget that we're all hurtling through space on a giant ball of rock surrounded by millions of other floating rocks, just a small speck in a vast expanse that is our galaxy in the humongous universe. Here's a lot of songs to remind you:-

Friday Illustration: Mindfulness

 

Sometimes my internal mind chattering can be so loud and it's mostly negative and toxic repeating past events and comments which aren't worth bothering about. So I've been trying to be mindful and aware of my immediate surroundings, live in the moment, give my mind some quiet time and find the strength in my internal silence.

Vote Libraries

 

I created a design for Every Library & Creative Action Network's latest campaign 'Vote Libraries'. My design details education and storytime and how libraries can help with children's literacy.

I went to my local library yesterday and although it's tiny I managed to find a few graphic novels, a cookbook & a book on mindfulness. So much knowledge, wisdom & enjoyment are in the pages of books. So make sure you use your library they're so important for us now & the future generation.
