Website updated

piperhaywood.com

Finally updated my website to include information and links for a few recent projects. Sam and I worked together to redesign the site. In return, I helped him move his domain to sambaldwin.info.

I’m quite excited about the colour of the text and favicon. The hue, saturation, and lightness are calculated according to the season, temperature, and time of day where I am.

There’s definitely a couple of issues to sort out, will get to those soon.

Atelier Ji, art prints and publishing

Atelier Ji

Very impressed by Atelier Ji’s quality, saw a few prints they have made on behalf of their clients at the Hepworth Wakefield Print Fair. Their flyer was printed on lovely paper, the (super kind) guy at the stall said it was Somerset. Somerset satin 300gsm? Lots of prints on their site seem to be on that stock.

Particularly liked Out of Sight by James Seow.

Painting titled Decline and Fall by Glenn Brown

Decline and Fall from the Arts Council Collection (image source)

Glenn Brown
Decline and Fall, 1995
Oil and canvas on board
58.4 × 54.6cm

Decline and Fall by Glenn Brown is currently on display in the One Day, Something Happens: Paintings of People exhibition at Leeds Art Gallery. The smooth surface of the painting is astounding and incredibly confusing up close, the image above just doesn’t do it justice.

Whiskey Sour recipe

Was shown the light this past New Years and have been enjoying whiskey sours ever since. Keep forgetting the recipe though.

Homer Sourball

Pour 2 parts bourbon, 1 part fresh lemon juice (or lime in a pinch), ½ part simple syrup, and ½ part egg white in to a shaker and shake for 20-30 seconds. The proteins in the egg generate significant foam and this will add pressure, so hold it tight. Next, add cubed ice and shake hard until very cold. Strain into a tumbler with fresh ice, and garnish with an orange peel twist if you’ve got it.

Note: Aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) also works if you don’t want to use egg whites. The egg white from one US large egg is roughly 1 oz, so this is a great cocktail to make in batches of 2.
