By George, it's my logo!
It's always nice to see a famous face next to something you've done and who better than granite faced silver fox George Clooney, who is involved in the Armenian human rights organisation https://auroraprize.com/en/ which I did the logo for.
Morning in the Hills
Had a lovely run in the hills this morning. I took my little camera for once and even though I am one of the world's worst nature photographers, I managed to get a shot of a couple of green woodpeckers and some deer, including ones with horns! Also saw two buzzards but they were too quick for me.

Imperial War Museum North
Had a lovely day yesterday up at IWM North in Manchester, taking photos / doing research for a new illustration / design project for the museum. I met an amazing 92 year old D Day Veteran who had crowds of kids round him asking him questions. It's a great museum building and on the hour the place goes dark and all the walls are filled with projections and sound effects. Really effective. Also loved Manchester. Really nice city.
