Better late than never, I just found out some of my logos are featured in the book Logo Design, published by Taschen in 2006.
I remember sending stuff in, but never heard back from them. Anyway - good stuff – although I’ve seen nicer covers from Taschen…

The April 2008 issue of Creative Review has a nice full page article about
the For Feet From A Rat comic in Time Out we did with Mother.

Fairspot has added an interview with yours truly.
Go ahead and read it if you want to find out what music I’ve been listening to lately…

Channel 4’s 4Talent site has a nice interview up with me, where I talk about my work, Kleber, working for the music industry and the popularity of digital downloads.

Thanks to Graig Grannell as ever for the excellent questions and editing!

The nice guys over at Defunktion caught up with me to see what I have been up to since 2005 (the last time we spoke).

The nice people at Behance interviewed me to talk about my creative process and how I generally survive the day-to-day jungle that is my design-life.

Intrigued? Read all about it here (and see my desk!).

Computer Arts #141 is out now.
Dubbed ‘The inspiration issue’, its comes with a free supplement ‘The book of inspiration’ where ‘57 of the world’s greatest artists give an insight into the sources of their creativity’.

You’ll find me on page 23, where I tell you how I worked with Ashley Wood on the Popbot Collection book.

Computer Arts Magazine has an extensive write-up on the The Wallpaper Project in their current issue. I haven’t seen the issue yet myself, but I’m mentioned in the article and my contribution might be included in the CD that comes with the magazine.

EDIT (01/08/2007) I finally received my copy of the book yesterday and start browsing the pages to look for my work. Sure enough I’m listed in the index at the back of the book as being featured on page 7. I flip to page 7 and find to my surprise that the image credited to me is not my work at all. Going through the book again (you know, it could be a production error) to look for my work with a wrong credit I find nothing. Conclusion: somewhere out there is the designer of the image on page 7, cursing my name…

Original entry:

I completely forgot I contributed work for this, until I got a letter from the publisher saying the book is in their warehouse and I can get a copy at a big discount (which is canceled out by the international P&P of course).

Anyway, Design Elements: A Graphic Style Manual by Timothy Samara (Rockport Publishers) is out now.

I can’t even remember what I sent in…
