I’ve been getting quite a lot of usage out of WordPress’ forward-publishing functionality recently. It’s weird to think that I’m writing this post now, at my computer, but when you read this tomorrow (or now for you) I will be in Italy.
I’ll be away for a week and spending my time in the Veneto: Padua, [...]

I just wanted to make an overdue appearance on miLienzo.com to say “Hi” to everyone and apologise for the lack of blog activity this past week.
I’m going to avoid all the usual excuses - the truth of the matter is I wanted some evenings to relax, watch TV and generally forget about emails, RSS feeds, [...]

Last night was the private viewing of my end of year show. I donned some smart clothes and exhibited my portfolio of work, in the hope of networking, making connections, and possibly finding freelance work or even employment.
I’ve actually been up since 4am this morning, doing that thing that happens after job interviews where you [...]

Right now, this very instance, I’m fuming! It’s probably a bad idea to come anywhere near my blog in this state of mind, but as it’s been six days since my last post I’ve decided to try out the therapeutic properties of good old fashioned ranting.
Regular readers will be aware that I’ve been very busy [...]

Recently there has been a fair amount of discussion on when to consider yourself a successful designer.
Lauren Marie began the discussion by saying:
