Apparently it’s been ten years since I last spoke at a @beyondtellerrand.com event! Looking forward to being back at this always wonderful conference run by the ace @marcthiele.com https://beyondtellerrand.com/events/dusseldorf-2025/schedule/monday

Marc’s the bloody best! 🙌 [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Think about your past projects. Did they finish on time? Did they get delivered without cutting corners? Chances are high that they haven’t. Perhaps they got delayed, moved, cancelled, “refined” or postponed. As it turns out, in many teams, shipping on time is an exception, ...

This week, you're in for something different: I’m sharing Part 1 of a powerful conversation I had on The Angry Designer Podcast. We dive into the misconceptions about typography, the truth about lettering, and how I carved my own path in a crowded creative industry.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the sea of sameness as a designer—or wondered how to turn your passion for letters into a thriving career—this episode is for you.

🎧 In this episode:

The difference between type, font, and lettering (and why it matters)

My leap from generalist to global lettering artist

Why “waiting to be discovered” is a lie

How designers can stand out by going deep, not wide

And one mindset shift that changed everything for me

💬 QUOTE TO REMEMBER:

"You don’t need to be discovered—you need to decide."

New York friends! I’ll be part of a new show opening May 8th at Offline in the Bowery.

I’m in the weeds now! Connecting up the different layers of each design and attaching it to a kick or snare or FX from the OP-Z. My Unity knowledge is beginner at best but I’m muddling me way through!!

Beyond Tellerrand is just 2 weeks away so it’s time to get these Titles ship-shape! After work / kids bedtime isn’t enough so searching the wee hours for more time! I haven’t done the 5-7am passion project time slot in quite a few years, let’s see if I’ve still got it in me!

Factory Reality: Post-realism in the 2020s. Excited to be part of this new show @offlinenyc in New York curated by @mikabaronn and @anloremi alongside a stellar line-up of artists.

Opens May 8th 2025, 6-8pm 243 Bowery St, New York, NY.

Posted last week's round-up at lunchtime! Grab a brew and have a read! https://jamfactory.ghost.io/weekly-roundup-011/

Bonjour! A bit late with this roundup, but that's 'cause it's been a busy one this week. Still busy on secret things up at Aards, but plenty busy in the wee hours with the Beyond Tellerrand titles, as the event is just a few weeks

FROM THE ARCHIVES: Back in 2018, at Aardman, I had to create a 'user manual' for the alien spaceship in 'Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon' movie!

Just a few weeks until Beyond Tellerrand [ @beyondtellerrand.com ] and I’m busy crafting the titles! I’m hoping to play the titles - live - via a combo of an OP-Z, GoPro, OBS and Unity!

Serious question: what does a “Global Head of AI” do at an agency and why does it somehow feel like it is just a regular creative director with a cringey job title? 🥴
