Mondays Lately





Lately Mondays have become the best day of my week. They are known rather fondly as making mondays. Sometimes things get achieved and my head is laptop bound from morning into the night. Often at Battenburg Press headquarters we talk ideas and books, trips and hearts, baking and layouts. The term is now over and Mondays will change. I'll miss them and try to shape some making fridays with as much commitment to the week ahead as can be mustered on a Friday.

You + new equals HOME




Moving soon, into a new realm of the waking dream.

Brooklyn LIGHT





I remember this soft, magical early evening light, but not from last spring here, but from those cold, bright brooding Brooklyn nights. It's light fantastic and each day I still miss it. Getting a fix of there here.

To work with you




Back in the Letterpress saddle. I meditatively typeset 10 pt Baskerville, all 59 lines of it. My eyes ache in impatience for the new piece to show itself. Paper/ink/size choices to be decided. For now I select each letter with utmost love for the process.

Hello March

The sea may still be cold but
Hey sunshine
It's been a while sky
Hello toes
Nice to see you snowdrops
Bicycle greetings
I've missed you green

A pinch and a punch






Farewell February.
So long wet frizz-hair air
See you later thermals
Bye bye chapped skin
Adieu double parking tickets
Toodle-pip porridge
Cheerio shades of brown
Missing you already Pancakes
