Before the carnage. And before some arsehole stole one of our teammates gear bag, phone and car keys while we were on the court. Find my Phone located them but the police won’t act on that data to follow up. 😡

Web client: “please can you include some minor Japanese influences, that would be cool,”
Me: ?

So, what’s your take on cool Japanese websites please?!

Whomever it was mentioning the Frame0 app: thanks! I wireframed a site update afternoon: so easy to use. No superfluous design or details. Just structure.

I’ve this new alarm clock that is supposed to gently wake you with a gradual warm light, like a sunrise. Maybe I need to get used to it, or set it differently because I lost an hours sleep as it seemed like a fireball was burning my eyeballs an hour earlier than expected.

Posts was a good place to visit because of you.  Take that with you, inject it into other parts of your life. This way Posts will last forever.

Heartbreak aside for a moment - and given the speed at which Posts will be gone -, is anyone else wanting a replacement? I’m keen to keep the spirit of Posts alive and up for building something. If you’re interested, register your interest here: https://tally.so/r/3EvVP4 🧑‍💻❤️

This weekend’s walkies was only accessible by kayak. And yes, the dog was on board with me.

Stitches are out. Forest explorations are back just in time for the holidays. Sneaked in a short adventure this afternoon.

It’s been ages since I had a decent MTB ride. Today we changed that.

Based on reviewing ~80 product design portfolios so far, it is clear that Framer is winning the designer mindshare. If you're looking for your next gig, join us: https://app.dover.com/apply/6726b05f-e06d-4fc7-9a12-844d0d7c0dd9/7fefd873-14fa-4d9f-a997-98f46de2b829/?rs=15190316

Because I can’t use After Effects for shit I’m editing every frame of this loop in Photoshop 🤦

@caspianievers.bsky.social 🦋 if this this the next stop on the journey together.

Weekend end walkies. 11km with a full pack. Home now. It was brilliant

Sometimes I actually work on some old school design stuff too. Teamed up with a colleague to wrestle these letters into shape. Much harder than you’d think…

I volunteer as tribute. 🙋 If you're interested, make yourselves know: https://tally.so/r/3EvVP4

Weekend walkies. Five years ago one of my favourite places became inaccessible following a massive slip. The road’s been overtaken by nature giving it a strange post-apocalyptic vibe but the locals know a way through.

I’m giving a talk today. It’s not what I am best at. Or what I enjoy most. But I can’t wait to share this slide. It says a lot despite being so simple.

I just registered posts.club, and added a link to your form on there. I'll be updating the site as community initiatives unfurl :)

“Our clients are people who find $50 million…”

Excuse me… what ‽ This actually happens enough to make this businesses a thing? Wow. What’s the most you’ve found? I once found £200 in a bush and bought a flight for a surprise visit to my girlfriend.

TIL blues and the didgeridoo are a magical instrument combo. ✨

The universe and I have worked things out. I got to go on that hike that I missed earlier. While I had plans for some alone time with my camera I met some really interesting people as well. One of whom was super excited to tell me about this girl he’d just met… 🧵

I rarely make spontaneous purchases, but having just discovered the amazing world of Japanese camping equipment I couldn’t resist this tiny camping table I found in a shop this afternoon.

I’ve been working on my ‘artist bio’ for an upcoming project launch that might change everything. With the help of Arty Bollocks (Google it) I’m nearly there. It’s almost the right balance of wtf and thoughtful nodding. 🙂

Some fun loopy icons I designed for a client recently.

Two days in a row of everything that can go wrong going wrong. Sharing it here in the hope that I can release it into the wild, the same way I share ideas.

Organised a secret getaway to this tiny house on the beach. Collected my wife from work and zoomed off. But totally forgot to pack her clothes! So it’s all day wetsuits or be the best dressed person on the beach in her work clothes.  🤦

Question to you all: where shall we go next?

I might have to rethink my dislike for Apple Intelligence because this is the prefect custom emoji for my dog.

I work at KISSLabs. I’m now working with my 3rd company that is either X Labs, or have a X Labs produce/service. Is this normal? Anyone else have a /Labs client?

That was one hell of a storm. The power line missed the window my inches.

I’m involved in an epic art project 3+ years in the making. Like, seriously huge. Global. And now I need to write my artist bio for the project. It’s the hardest thing I have had to write as I stopped considering myself as an artist decades ago. Where to start…

Last project of the year: a little retouching for a sustainable jewellery company. If you need a last minute stocking filler… 😜

First day back in the office. Let’s see if I can remember how to do anything magical.

A photoshoot I’ve been hoping to direct has been greenlit today. We get to fool around in helicopters around NZ and I couldn’t be happier. Concepts 👇

We came 4th, and I also managed to get another goal. So I’m very happy. And exhausted.

Camping essentials. A bonus when you when you find wild mint for your tea.  🌱

Sometimes magic just happens. Zero edits with this photo. 😀

A very special adventure today: we found a waterfall. And we were brave enough to jump in. Also zero edits with this photo.

Woohoo. Final proposal of the year was just accepted! Winning clients is hard work. Obviously our previous work was influential, but so was putting our proposal in Pitch. They were looking for a progressive team, and they admitted it gave us bonus points. ⚡️

There aren’t many more opportunities to post my weekend trips here. But while I can I will.

— When all this is over, will there still be weekend walkies?

— Of course.

— Can we have one now?

— Absolutely, let’s go!

Has anyone come across any platform agnostic tools/apps for editorial design/report design? A client is threatening to use Canva for their reporting. I feel there have to be better solutions that are digital first (but can also export a pdf) which excludes Indesign for them.

Morning friends! A big weekend of action ahead. Limited sleep behind me. Pretty sure Dante had a circle of hell devoted to people who snore loudly in campsites.
