Having looked through a lot of war time propaganda posters I can advise the following to help your country win the war:
Don't do anything alone, ever!
Don't talk to women!
Don't let women talk!
Don't listen to Women
Get Canada involved!

A bit of creative retouching for Space Captain Smith
With the launch of The God Emperor of Didcot I was asked to do some images in the spirit of propaganda and spreading the word.
This one is based on a model built by the author himself (which you can see by rolling over the image).
The plan was to give the picture the feel of a Victorian photograph, hence the slightly cheesy framing, as well as adding a suitable moon/desert style backdrop and jets, billowing dust and smoke clouds as though taking off or landing.
Redesign of TD
I've finished (as far as these things can ever be finished) redesigning Thursday Design. So if you fancy seeing the slightly less verbal and slightly more graphic version of me you can find it at www.thursdaydesign.com
Hope you like the new look!

How to be nice, a quick tip.
Some people need help to be nice, sad but true. So here is a little tip:
If you are lucky enough to be sitting whilst others have to stand on a busy train, bus or tube when it reaches its final destination you should let them off first. They've earnt it! Don't start standing up and trying push past, just wait, in no time at all they'll have cleared and you can be on your merry way.
I don't understand why Londoners are always in such a rush (and I include myself in this) most of the time we're only on our way to work anyway so that extra 30 seconds really doesn't hurt that much!
Remember, kindness is its own reward!

Why so much blog today?
I've not been around much of late, I guess I'm not very consistent when it come to writing things here... which I suppose begs the question why now?
Well it all links to my trip to Australia, for example right now I probably ought to be doing something else - worrying and organising for my trip and most importantly get my C.V. and website sorted and talking to the people I'm hoping to work for out there! Which leads us to the fact that I can now encourage you to go and have a look at my website, you can see it at http://www.thursdaydesign.com/ I hope you like it!
And finally I'm quite likely to be using the blog to keep interested parties (if there are any) informed of my travels as I roam around the world!
Oh and of course my friend Toby has another book out! It's as good, if not better than the first you can get it from Waterstones or Amazon.

A day at the end of July
This is just a little account of a very entertaining day I spent wandering around London in late July, it was entertaining enough to write about at the time so I figure I might as well put it here too!
Been to the fête at the V&A, which was distressingly like every other village fête I've ever been to but supposedly with a sense of irony. I didn't spend long there but instead looked round the rest of the museum, I had forgotten how cool it was - some pictures. I found out what a tabernacle is, I hadn't realised that it was a gap in my knowledge!
I then walked to Hyde Park past Knightsbridge (navigating by the sun!) I found a bench to sit on by a fountain, the tranquility of which was slightly marred by the heavy throb of London traffic and someone playing music through their phone. I had to move on before long, shortly after being investigated by a small rodent, maybe its his bench!
From Hyde Park I went through Green Park and St James's briefly chasing a Zeppelin, from there I continued past Downing Street and crossed the river by Westminster Bridge and wandered down the Southbank past the Aquarium, London Eye, and eventually stopped to watch the skateboarders and BMX riders - more pics. I bought myself a well earned beer and sat by Thames reading my book and chilling out.
I then met up with a couple of good friends for another drink and eventually we ended up outside a pub in Soho for another friend's birthday celebration.
It's days like this that make you realise just how excellent London is!
