Weekly Roundup #005

Weekly Roundup #005

Hello there pickle. It's been a bonkers week at work, with lots of exciting things happening, so I'm a bit late with this ol' weekly round-up.

First up, the awesome Stickerapp did an ace job of turning my 'FFFKSSAKE' graphic into shiny metallic die-cut stickers!

I had the pleasure of giving a couple of talks this week, one virtually for the V&A and their secondary schools programme and the other for Bristol-based typography event Letter Luvvers! It was great fun to hang out with like-minded folk, and I got to share the bill with prolific Designer / Typographer / Illustrator / Writer Rian Hughes!

Using the Teenage Engineering K.O. II + Lego + GoPro + OBS I put together a wonky beat to play live in the middle of the talk! I really love doing this for my talks now, it's always great learning to try and make something new. I really love piping the audio through OBS and being able to show that it's all happening live thanks to the mounted GoPro!

Thanks so much to Si Jubb for shooting photos from the night!

That's it for now - more next week!

Cheersen,

WHAT AM I PLAYING?

I'm still deep into the world of PΓ³kemon TCG Pocket! The new pack got released today so I'm chasing those sweet, sweet shinies! I managed to pull a second Pikachu immersive card, stoked!

WHAT AM I LISTENING TO?

Lots of different stuff at the minute actually, jumping all over

  • Bonobo – Migration
  • Affiance – No Secret Revealed
  • Knocked Loose – A Tear In The Fabric Of Life
  • My Chemical Romance – The Black Parade
  • [Podcast] 60 Songs That Explain The 90's

I'm a big big fan of the above podcast, 60 Songs That Explain The 90's. It's actually now looking into songs from the 2000's too, with each episode doing a deep dive into the song but also the hosts own history with the song, it's great. You should give it a listen.

WHAT AM I WATCHING?

We finally finished Severence Season 1 and wow, what a ride. We've gone straight into Season 2 now and we're loving it!

WHAT'S CAUGHT MY EYE?

I got a care package of beautiful art courtesy of the awesome Mr Drew Millward. Look at this absolute stunner! Get your own prints right here: https://www.printsofthieves.co.uk/collections/drew-millward
