So, while I’m in a blogging mood I should show you a few things I’ve been doing. Yes, I have been around but I just haven’t been inspired to blog. It seems like everything has been blogged about a million times already, and the only use for me blogging those things is to increase my…

I’m still alive!
I’ve just been working on stuff, you see. One of those bits of stuff is evident in the picture above… see the bunch of squiggly lines down the bottom? That’s mah paisleyz on the cover of the launch issue of Peppermint magazine! The magazine is launching this Friday in Paddington, so I might scoot along…
Speaking of typography in poster design…

Lettering by hand
Lately I’ve really been getting into hand lettering. I’m totally inspired by Marian Bantjes, Linzie Hunter and Chris Piascik amongst a few others.

Some pictures of things I’ve been busy making…
Thank you notes for our wedding (yes, late but what else would my friends and family expect from me?) Some drawings of pretty gals. More magazine doodling. Felt paisleys. My rat Willis died on Saturday :( I’ve also been quite busy with freelance design work! If you want to check out my portfolio, it’s over…

World Youth Day, not so much for youths of the world
you darn punks! by Paul McClintock I don’t often get into divisive topics here, but I need to talk about World Youth Day and what a load of civil rights intruding bollocks it is. Not only are the “celebrations” making it difficult for citizens of Sydney to move around their city for the month –…
My doodles (how rude)
Sometimes I doodle just for the hell of it, and there are a lot of times that I produce things that are kind of cool that I could never sell as prints. For example: lately I have taken to defacing my magazines – it’s a way to reuse paper, and often the paper stock is…
