The Olympics have finally kicked off in Tokyo and we'll get to see skateboarding for the first time on the international stage. This is some signage I did last year for Clan Skates in Partick, Glasgow – pictured outside the shop is the local legend and shop owner Jamie Blair and his daughter Lily.

I'm really thankful to everyone who supported small shops during the pandemic as they are key to building strong local communities. If you know anyone interesting in skateboarding, make sure they check out this local gem!

One of the most interesting design challenges I've had in a while... "Create a music video in one week during the Coronavirus lockdown."

I worked with Jim Rusk and Anna Sheard to create a music video for Snowgoose. Working remotely from our homes in Maryhill, Anderston and Glastonbury and using footage shot on Anna's iPhone and from Jim's Super8 film archive, we came up with this.

The new digital single from the forthcoming album is available to buy here... https://glassmodern.bandcamp.com/album/who-will-you-choose

From the forthcoming album "The Making of You", the follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut, “Harmony Springs”. https://glassmodern.bandcamp.com/album/...

One of my greatest inspirations growing up in the 90s and such a loss for the design community. They say you should never meet your heroes but Vaughan was a humble gentleman and design legend.

The much-loved graphic designer Vaughan Oliver died at the end of 2019. Here, designer and publisher Adrian Shaughnessy reflects on the unique and influential nature of his work – particularly his prolific stint with record label 4AD
