Hi and welcome to my new followers. I make websites, fun stuff with code, books (sometimes with code!) and site specific installations. Happy to have you along for the journey. I'm going to try to document my thinking and process more than I did on Twitter (😷). This is an accountability post...

the new (beta) @penpot.app renderer is such a huge improvement. snappier in a 100-tab browser window from hell than the Figma desktop app with a single file open. i know i keep saying this but if you design for the web and you haven't tried penpot you owe it to yourself to give it a whirl.

I’m just starting a new book project about research into aperiodic order in art and mathematics. It’s a bit of a mind boggler at this stage, hoping I can get my January brain around it quickly

My final act of 2025: taking out double top in the family doubles darts tournament. My wife set me up by hitting the bullseye before me. This is pretty much the same as renewing our vows and cancels out all the evils of the proceeding year. May your 2026 be as glorious

Squeezed in one last personal project; it syncs data from Rekordbox into a little web app, improving the filtering so I can browse what records are in the same rack, plan mixes etc away from my computer. Yes it's a WCAG nightmare but it's just for me so I can wallow in my pastel neon squinty world
A website featuring a music database organised with genres, ratings, tags and location data. It uses a neon pastel colour scheme and a monospace font. A website featuring a song from a music database showing its genre, ratings, tags and location data and a grid of tracks that are matched to the song's key and tempo.

I’m marking some student work today that I think @loftio.co.uk would approve of
A slide from a presentation about the font Comic Sans. It has the text “they fired me for using comic sans” and “comic sans says fuck the haters”

I'm doing this with individual text boxes for each paragraph, made manageable with a little InDesign script I wrote for chopping them all up

This reflects a sense of cooperation, with each paragraph giving up some width that its partner paragraph needs. It's a harmonic to and fro down each page. An absolute nightmare for the OCD crew. Sorry not sorry.

I'm working on a dual language book about immigration. My typographic approach is to set both languages together with each paragraph varying in width to take up the same amount of lines as its equivalent in the other language.
A spread of two book pages with the same text in both English and Norwegian. Each English paragraph sits next to its Norwegian equivalent. The widths of each respective paragraph is different so that each pair of matching paragraphs are always the same number of lines deep.

This is a 52-pound 9000+ page accordion-bound artist’s book of Donald Trump’s lies, conceived, printed, and bound by Jill and Ray Nichols of @leadgraffiti.bsky.social in Delaware. Each of the 9000 pages has the text (per the Washington Post) of one or more of Trump’s lies; none are repeated.
The 9000-page 52-pound book, entitled LIAR, LIAR, on display today at the University of Maryland. Sample interior page. Front of a postcard describing the project. Photo of postcard describing project: “9,296 pages document 3o,573 false or misleading claims by Donald Trump from his first day in office, 2017, to his final day on January 20, 2020, when Joe Biden was sworn in as the country's next president. All that verbiage is s3" thick, weighs 52 pounds, and it started like this. The disolution of the Delaware College of Art & Design, to whom Lead Graffti had donated 1oos of design books over the past decade, brought an invitation to redaim them. We found a few, which brought us another interesting find — a blank Coppic-stitched book with a spine about 36 inches wide bound by Ema Ishii Holdredge for her BEA show at the Corcoran School of Art in 2008. That book haunted us for several weeks, and we decided it was too audacious not to give ita Lead Graffiti shot. For a while, we pondered how to fill a several thousand-page book with content that made a serious point. The notion of the presidential untruths came to mind, so maybe there was some documentation we could "borrow?" Sure enough, in a few Safari minutes, we found a downloadable PDE from The Washington Post that we could massage into a typographic form we could use. We were off. Ray undertook the ink-jet printing of the pages, folding and inserting the red cover-weight sheets for structural support, and gathering and punching the folds for sewing. Jill did 99.8% of the sewing. At a 3o2 United gathering, we encouraged attendees to give the book a stroke. Shown at right is the head of the Delaware ACLU, who has excellent technique.
