The power of custom type!
When designing the new logo for Eddie Franks Rye, we went straight from pencil sketch to this bold, hand-lettered mark. It perfectly matches the street style of the brands they carry (Carhartt, Vans).
Seeing it pop on the yellow bags is the best part

Analogue heart, digital finish. 🎨
Even in a digital-first world, nothing beats the tactile feel of sketching on paper for ideation. The iPad is where the details get refined.
Design for @canva x @affinity merch at @bett_show 2026! 🎓

I love to push digital apps to create art that still looks like it was made by hand.

It's been a while since I've applied my lettering to a saw, but I really enjoyed doing this commissioned piece. 🪚🖌️

A little behind-the-scenes look at today's work: creating a full alphabet using watercolors.
The texture it gives the letters is simply stunning. Always appreciating how tactile mediums can elevate digital-use assets.

• i ❤️ @Ian_Barnard's fonts 🤩
• i wish i cold buy them all!
• i bought a few and so can you (they're 50% off atm)
If you can't afford the good design assets, don't worry, neither can I sometimes.
That's why I made mine 50% OFF (Brushes, Textures, Fonts). Treat yourself without the immediate guilt.

Just figured out how to create this cool texture effect in the new @Affinity. Plus you can move it around and enlarge it. 😎

In the same week that Affinity released their app for free, Adobe try to soften the blow to their increase in subscription costs but giving me a 3 month promo price aka what I currently pay. 💸
