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.

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

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.

Particularly liked Out of Sight by James Seow.

A Korean street food and takeaway place on Old Street in London. Got to go there with an old friend and her charming other half during a too-quick trip down south. 10/10 would go again.

Quite like this person’s archive of patches from armed forces around the world that are based on beer labels. There must be so many out there.

The Mac Photographic Archive was started by GSA graduate Lizzie Malcolm and Daniel Powers following the fire that consumed much of the Macintosh Building at the Glasgow School of Art. Anyone who has ever visited the building can upload photos in an effort to digitally preserve the history of the iconic building. The archive is growing, but they’re still lacking photos of some areas (particularly the studios). If you have something to share, contribute.
