Hello John Lees
Today we welcome aboard John Lees, an interesting young artist who has just finished an FdA in graphic design and who has a passion for illustration.

Thom Lambert is on board
Hello folks, sorry for the bloggio silence. I’ve been doing some pretty interesting stuff like writing a feature about Star Wars and interviewing Jim Lee and Dan DiDio at DC Comics. Which is totally besides the point because even cooler than that is the news that the talented designer, illustrator and DJ Thom Lambert is [...]

His latest work is a design for a [...]

The Costa Book of the Year
This really resonates with what we’re doing on Memories. The Costa Book of the Year 2009 award went to the poet Christopher Reid for his book, A Scattering. It consists of a series of poems about losing his wife to cancer in 2005. I haven’t read the book but it sounds extremely emotional, particularly considering [...]
