Got myself to the superb Decode show at the V&A yesterday (which runs until April 11th and is highly recommended if you’re in London). One of the pieces, Fabrica’s Exquisite Clock invites people to submit images of numbers through a free iPhone app, which are then displayed in the show itself (and on the app) as a clock. Here’s one I caught yesterday made entirely of numbers from printed money.
These two fellers are from an advertising job I was working on late year that sadly went pear-shaped. I enjoy how grumpy/suspicious Mr Gray is. See the full illo here.

Full Table refers to this as ‘Bodily Damage’, so presumably these are settlement costs for personal injury? If so, apparently just shaving your head entitles you to £85. Been in a freak moustache incident? £10 for you.
Raymond Biesinger is so good.
Totally stopped in my researching tracks by this, an extract from this set of shots of the construction of the Metropolitan Railway, from 1861-1863.
Plenty more rail-related things to be found in the National Railway Museum Flickr.
A quick, remarkably dull notice to Londoners - I will be in town from the 21st to the 26th of this month, portfolio in hand. Get in touch if you’d like to meet up! I am fully housetrained.
Exciting news! If you pledge $75 to WNYC, you can opt to receive this handsome tote bag, featuring the logo I made for In Radiolab We Trust. Thanks so much to Executive Producer Ellen Horne for getting me involved.
Also, t-shirts! Coming soon!
I’ve just started subscribing to the beautiful Cabinet magazine on the advice of my pals from Arika. Issue 35 is titled Dust, and here’s a fine extract that proves my money has been well spent: Translated international variants of the term ‘dust bunnies’.
