When I revived 14 magazine in 2020 and revamped its design, I was always looking forward to the time when there were enough covers to create different mosaics of colour, like Raster-Noton albums or Mondrian paintings. After 5 years, that’s finally the case. Just look at those gorgeous colour pops.

Just 11 days ago, I found myself in Paris when I heard the news of Robert Redford’s passing. Thanks so much to Andrew Gallix for publishing my reaction to watching Ordinary People again.

The more of yourself you put into your writing, the more invisible you become.
