Oh, I so miss the days of long-form writing, RSS feeds, your Rhiannon days, Slurkers and my own Thursday's Child writing, all long gone. Love your new space.

Loving this more insider look! I loved your Domestika class and book, so I had to sign up for your substack as well!

Black is BLACK!

Thank you for introducing me to Substack.

Not everything should be "instant" in life...

My artspace is a total mess at the moment but I have huge wardrobe to hide my rubbish in.

Not usual choice for craft spaces but so usefull!

Good luck with yours!

Love your upscale dentist waiting room and am jealous of the absolute joy it must be to "have an affair" with a room like this! Congrats!

It was so nice to see your newsletter. Not too fond of the apps deciding colors for me either lol. Loved seeing your studio space. And would be curious to see more of your workspace and process in future. Oh did I mention I’m a big fan of your work? Cheers!! 😊

I'm so glad to see you here! I saw your presentation about the work you did for The Grand Budapest Hotel at an AIGA conference a few years back. This graphic designer greatly admires your work! I still want one of those pastry boxes!

Honestly I should have brought more of them home with me. There were hundreds of them lying around the set when we packed up. I took 5!

Congratulations on both accounts: opening up a new studio, and moving to longer form dialogue with your audience.

Looking forward to seeing how this all progresses.

I loved reading this Annie. I reckon Virgina Woolf would be both impressed and a bit jealous that you have access to Ikea! Best of luck with the book
