Sure, it's time consuming to make a paper record every time you want to play music but you should hear the sound quality on those headphones. #timemagazine #papercraft #paperart #music #shelfie #gramophone

Wacom hack: I have trouble drawing straight lines on the Cintiq and I don't always want a perfect vector line. So I've cut myself a Wacom ruler out of some old mountboard. It means that I can draw a natural line quickly and a 45 degree bevelled edge makes it easier to see what I'm doing. #wacomhack #illustration #illustrator #drawing #digitalillustration #wacomcintiq #wacom

I really hope the 52% of the U.K. Who voted for this know what they’re doing because the experts almost universally agreed that this is not a good idea. To European friends and colleagues, know that 48% of us are devastated that the majority of our country did not vote for togetherness and inclusivity. All we can do now is keep working towards that togetherness in this new isolated situation in which we find ourselves. #eureferendum #brexit

European creative friends and colleagues -I hope to still be able to collaborate with you as easily on Friday as I can today. #voteremain #eureferendum
