It’s my fantastic end of year review, the bumper hard-back annual to accompany the regular monthlies that you all pretend to love so much.
This is another one of those posts where the owner of the site waffles on about loads of stuff only relevant to him/her by way of excusing the lack of new and exciting articles on said blog - a post in no way new or exciting, and designed purely to buy more time to do more of said stuff only relevant to him/her for a few more weeks. Here are my excuses…
Marko has just published a smashingly long interview with me in which I give far too much away. There are plenty more interviews with lots of other people who like to talk about themselves too. Good stuff!

I’ve thought long and hard about allowing a pretty large audience access to eight years of my most private, important thoughts. That said, I’m archiving my sketchbooks online mostly because I’m paranoid about losing everything in a fire, and Ziggy is slowly but surely clawing his way through their hardback covers.
I dunno. Every birthday, I seem to get a year older. Today I turn 32. It’s roughly the age I always wanted to be, if that makes sense. I guess that stems from not really being taken seriously when I was a teenager, or in my early twenties.
Happy Birthday, Emma. I love you more than I ever thought possible. Congratulations, Si and Cass. Finally you’ve tied the knot. Big love, and thanks for everything you’ve done for me.
Then read on. I have lots of unfocused waffle for you. Web news first. I know I said that the Simplified Standards site would launch around about now, but owing to work/life commitments, I’m gonna have to put it on the shelf for a month or three.
To all of you who are emailing, SMS-ing, Aim-ing, using pigeons or whatever, I offer this apology: I am currently 100% “up to my neck in it”, and as such can only reply to client emails at the moment.
