Update #2: new words
Posted on September 26, 2009
Last week I was fortunate enough to be invited to talk for 20 minutes about my work. And ‘it’s nice that’ were good enough to record and post online it today

The project covers the Dictionary story in more depth and I also talk about new projects (even Rupert Murdoch gets mention?!). I spoke about ideas that I feel are quite pertinent to some of the challenges we face as creatives & if you can grab 20 minutes I would definitely be interested to hear people thoughts…
Also I have arranged for the excellent Justin from Fenner Paper to supply the paper for Dictionary Story and you can have a look at what he does here -

A few people have been having problems backing the project because of Amazon - what I suggest is just email me the amount you want to pledge and I will make a note of it and work it out when we go to print. Sorry about that - im at
