Busy, busy, busy... that's what I've been lately. Which is great. Hope it stays that way. Actually it will definitely stay that way for the next six weeks or so, what with it being the school holidays. It definitely adds an extra dimension of complexity to the working day when you have a young daughter requiring attention, but its a nice problem to have. It means there will be enforced breaks from the computer screen too, which will be welcome, and also a couple of breaks away from home, starting with this weekends Deer Shed Festival in North Yorkshire. I'm really looking forward to it - I do like my festival fix each summer and this one sounds like a lovely family-friendly, chilled out affair. Despite the fact that we don't get there until Saturday, it's already started well, as I won a Deer Shed hoodie in a competition this week. Fab! I'll be suitably branded when onsite then!
There has been a flurry of graphic design activity with York Test Laboratories (in York) this month with a swathe of mailers coming through the studio (a selection are pictured above) - they are always nice things to work on too.
As well as that I have been helping out at Kariba in Harrogate, and continue to work with Acceleris MC, also in Harrogate, and Bradfern in Oldham. Oh and I've created a logo and collateral for Red Cat Property in Harrogate as well. One of the 'To Let' boards is shown here, so look out for them dotted around Harrogate and the surrounding area.
Almost as important as the work I've been doing is the tunes I've been listening to. This week, Fleet Foxes' 'Helplessness Blues', Gruff Rhys (who I saw at Harrogate Theatre this Monday playing a suitably brilliant, unpredictable, funny and unique gig. He's a talented fella, that man), Thievery Corporation and Death in Vegas.
