This Sunday I was lucky enough to host The Design Museum’s weekly typographical Twitter get together #FontSunday for a second time. Every Sunday at noon, #FontSunday is a weekly gathering of type nerds on Twitter who post typographical images relating […]
I know many of my readers are fellow creatives, many of whom run or want to run a creative business of some sort – how about making 2017 the year you really make it for yourself?! If only running your […]
Last weekend, on 15 May, I was part of the St Bride Foundation Wayzgoose for the second year. I love doing their Wayzgoose, the atmosphere is brilliant, and it is so nice to hang out with fellow printers and those […]
Wow, it’s already 6 months since I guest hosted the Design Museum’s weekly typographical Twitter jamboree #FontSunday. If you’ve never come across #FontSunday before, every Sunday from 12 noon, type geeks gather on Twitter to share typographical images based on […]
I love traditional, old rhymes. And as I have a deep interest in the macabre, I especially love those with darker undertones… I also dearly love the place I was born, London, and its rich history. So what better way […]
Yes, I know Valentine’s Day was a few weeks ago now. But my adage, similar to the old ‘puppies and Christmas’ one, is ‘love is for life, not just for Valentine’s Day’! Which is why the love cards I created […]
A big warm welcome to Typelark! Zoë here, it’s taken a while for me to get a blog going, but here it is at last. I’ve started off with some posts I wrote for another website but they are, to […]
You may realise now how much I love traditional signwriting (or signpainting for those on the other side of the pond). Well I wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity to join a workshop with prolific signwriter Ray Howell at […]
I’ve been super excited to have been to a few events recently concerning the traditional skilled craft of signwriting (also known as sign painting). At one time all signs were hand crafted by trained sign writers – shop fronts, windows, […]
新年快樂! Happy New Year! It’s Chinese New Year (now the Year of the Horse), so I thought I’d be a little self-indulgent here and share some of the photos I’ve taken combining two massive loves in my life – Chinese […]
One of my highlights this week was attending a talk I’d been waiting to see for a very long time – Ghost Signs by Sam Roberts, at the gorgeous St Bride Library. I just wanted to share some of the […]
Happy Anniversary Doctor! I’m very excited about Doctor Who’s 50th Anniversary this weekend, I’m a big fan (my favourite, and I believe the quintessential Doctor, is the one I grew up with, Tom Baker). Anyway, I thought I’d kick-start the […]
I’m writing about something very on topic today – horror! Yes, it’s Halloween. I was perusing the internet for a good horror film to settle myself in front of this evening, when I noticed the abundance of horror remakes / […]
The 2013 London Design Festival came to a close yesterday and it was another amazing year full of awe-inspiring work, but especially for graphics. As you know, I had my own work on display at Type Tasting – ‘Festival’ (see […]
I’m very excited to be part of Type Tasting at the V&A for the 2013 London Design Festival! My chosen word is ‘Festival’. I was inspired by my love of vintage signage and type, especially that found in 19th-mid 20th […]
I just came across another oldie but goodie that I thought might be good to share with you – in 2011 I took part in The Fiction Project organised by Art House Co-op, a global project to create a piece […]
I know it was a while ago, but I’ve just come across this again and thought I’d share it with all you type lovers out there…! Back in 2009 I contributed several pieces to the Type Tarts project, for which […]
