The .awards tonight in Manchester, and it’s a coming-home moment in that the statuette was conceived and designed in Manchester at a Manchester-based studio, sculpted and manufactured in Manchester back in 2009. Only the second time in the programmes history that it has changed its trophy, I led the project from pitch to production whilst working at Music, pretty chuffed at the time that my idea was going ahead for something so big (in mainstream terms). The Britannia was redesigned to make her an iconic silhouette onto which the most celebrated and revered creative Britons could express their creativity and I had the greatest pleasure working with the late Dame Vivienne Westwood’s team who was first up in 2011, draping the statuette in her iconic punk Union Jack with a bronze helmet bearing her brand, footed with a call to action on climate change. The creative programme of the statuette being redesigned year on year is still going and the underpinning strategic idea of celebrating creativity by being creative. And now she’s returned home. Funny eh. Here’s some BTS of the sculpting process, my sketches and notes and the final thing—Westwood’s trophy and the ‘white canvas’ trophy each artist receives to start the process.

The 30th anniversary of ’s masterpiece Heat (1995). One shot, where Neil McCauley (De Niro) returns to his barren beachside home, was reportedly inspired by the painting Pacific (1967) by Canadian artist, Alex Coleville. But the film is full of iconic, artistic, painterly shots. Every frame.

Thanks to Mark Sinclair for this long-form piece on In Loving Memory Of Work and its and my own involvement in the campaign. Mark and I spoke at length on the role of creativity in activism, the important difference between activism and protest, and what debt the UK owes the people and communities from the coalfields for their indelible mark on British culture, folklore, and socialist political foundations. We also talked about the campaign a lot and what it stands for and why it’s crucial. The revised and latest edition of the book (with a foreword from and featuring and more) is available now via and link in the bio. Also see the grid for more content on the book including the launch film narrated by with a score from . Solidarity.

Thank you so much to for the tour and invitation to see their wonderful exhibition Pictograms: Iconic Japanese Designs. It’s a detailed and beautiful presentation of Japan’s role in progressing this form of visual language and setting standards on the form, then and now. (There’s also exploration of these symbols in three-dimensions including one rendering of a Sumo to end them all). It’s very much worth a visit if you’re gonna be in London and is powerful in the reminder that even though they’re ubiquitous in our landscape pictograms are also indispensable. It’s on until 9 November and beautifully designed by the legendary .

Lionel Hatch passed away on 26th July 2025 and it can’t be understated or underestimated the impact he had on the creative industry outside London but more so those countless people working in it. Lionel was a mentor to me, a hugely influential figure, when I joined early in my career. He was generous, kind, thoughtful, and had forgotten more about the craft of typography than many would ever even know in their lifetime. There will be more to say soon, about his life, his work, his craft, and his humanity, but I wanted to post to acknowledge his life and his incredible impact. Love you Line.

Thought I’d interrupt my grid with something else from the 80s. Can we have a moment to appreciate this gorgeously gridded games from the SEGA MasterSystem, precursor to the mega MegaDrive. Come on pull your finger out 😉. Many of these games transitioned from the arcade to the home console and thrived in both, becoming cultural archetypes. Out Run, for example, is featured in Richard Kelly’s film, Donnie Darko, is the name of Kavibsky’s album (from which the track, Nightfall, is used over the opening titles of NWR’s film Drive) and has its own film in the works with Michael Bay and Sydney Sweeney creating.

Today it’s public that there will be a statutory inquiry into the policing at Orgreave after over four decades of campaigning from miners, mining families, communities and activists. It’s a momentous day, one that rewards the ongoing fight, but it is still a determined fight. The campaigners are still pressing the government on the terms, giving the inquiry full necessary powers and access to investigate and all people be able to input. To reiterate the the campaign’s demands, the inquiry should: (1) have the power to require all the relevant information and evidence to be produced to it; (2) ensure those who have an interest in the inquiry must be able to fully participate in order to lend their experience, knowledge and understanding to the process; (3) be accessible and inclusive to allow people to provide oral contributions to the evidence gathering process. Though the 9-year commitment from Labour is welcomed (first appearing in Corbyn’s manifesto), there is still work to be done. Those of you who know me know my family is affected by events at Orgreave and the decimation of mining communities. My dad was arrested at Orgreave and charged with riot and unlawful assembly and faced the real possibility of life imprisonment, until the miners’ barrister, Mike Mansfield KC, consistently proved police collusion and fabrication. The images here are some of my minor involvement in the campaign, the first and perhaps most significant is the design of the legal submission to parliament and also my dad being arrested on the day. “Cautiously elated” was how co-founder of the and my dear friend described it to and I agree wholeheartedly. Hopefully we are at the very beginning of a road to making some meaningful repairs for people, communities, and generations who have been lied to and lied about. Solidarity.

Warm and wonderful day is solidarity and a campaign rally for yesterday marking 41 years since the infamous police and state beat up and stitch up operation at Orgreave on June 18 1984 during the year long miner’s strike. Wonderful, uplifting speeches from NUM members and union leaders alongside injustice campaigners, particularly from the women’s movement. Aggie Currie pictured (also sat with my daughter and niece) and Kate Flannery and who along with the rest of the OTJC team work tirelessly in the fight. Keep pressure on the government for a full independent inquiry. ✊
