I've been experimenting with a new way of editing photos lately. Image glitching. Glitched images contain file errors which produce weird and wonderful visual effects — trippy colours, fragmentation and abstract shapes. Sometimes these errors happen by accident but it's also possible to add them yourself — which

Spring wouldn't be Spring without lambs! And I mean galavanting around fields, not garnished on a dinner plate. We spotted a few in nearby fields along the road home so we waited for a sunny day and made a beeline for the 'lamb field'. Brace yourselves,

I was moving my seedlings into the sunshine the other day and noticed the front garden was full of flying insects. When they come out in force you know the weather is definitely on a turn for the better. BBQs and Pimms here we come! So this weeks post is

Since my last update two weeks ago we've had rain, sunshine, hail and wind! Seeds have been sown, plants pruned and the garden has really come alive. The seedlings above are sunflowers. I sowed them along with peppers and chillies indoors; the sunflowers were first to germinate. It

Introducing R2-Wapuu! Wapuu meets R2-D2! Scott had the idea a while ago and with WordCamp London coming up this weekend we decided it would be the perfect time to share the project. I had great fun illustrating this! We chose to keep most of R2's body and just

This month has been a bit of blur to be honest, it has come and gone so fast. I don't know how we are a quarter of a way through the year already. Here's how we've been spending our time… Reading March has been
Norway
Earlier in the month we visited Oslo for a few days and came home with two happy but slightly portly tummies! We've been to two cities in Norway now, Oslo and Bergen. In Bergen we ate a lot of Norwegian food; most restaurants served food of this type.
