Caution HOT

This is very real and it was very painful, but this oven burn is also rather fetching in the form of an accidental exclamation mark.

I Love My Brompton

Apologies for the flurry of blogging activity, this illustration is a work in progress I thought I'd share.

I love my compact pal, I did try and give it a pet name, but Brompetta just didn't stick, so for now my lovely companion is just Brompton. It has a friend called Brompty.

There's a Brompton race happening at Blenheim Palace, but sadly I'm on holiday otherwise I would have joined all the other eccentric Brompton owners, I love that the rules stipulate all entrants must wear a jacket, shirt and tie.

Smooth legs font

I developed this font for a Wilkinson Sword project called The Butterfly Effect, I have finally gotten around to making it into a proper font, using a programme called Type Tool. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time and now want to make more! I'm still tweaking the kerning between certain letter pairs, but it's more or less done.
