I have over 30 years of experience as a senior designer and art director. I practice a significant level of typographic craftsmanship for large and small projects. Belgian-head arrow expert — just one piece of the puzzle missing. Mierenneuker.

Dunno what made me look at amazon (it's the only real-time indication I have) but there seems to be a Christmas bump of my book sales. Even though my long-promised fifth one in the series has been builder-delayed. They are a) perfect stocking fillers and b) available from anywhere other than there 🎶

SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE was released 47 years ago today (Dec. 15, 1978). It’s one long series of technical and even emotional magic tricks, making it the CITIZEN KANE of super-hero films - but you rarely notice one is being pulled off right in front of your eyes by director Richard Donner.

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Next week, Reform faces a key by-election in Wales. Yet voters in Caerphilly know none of this.
Even tho Reform’s candidate is Nathan Gill’s former assistant.
We are at a critical point of failure in Britain. The delay of the authorities, the silence of the media..
