I love this image, me and the Monkey Temple, taken by Matthew Ashton (here is Matthews review of the event) during my talk at Designival Liverpool. I had a brilliant time, amazing venue Camp & Furnace, fantastic people and great hospitality. Thank you all for asking me to talk and for listening.

I must say I was a little star struck, I have loved Christo’s & Jean-Claude’s work forever. To have spoken on the same stage as Christo at Integrated feels incredible.

Luke and I arrived in Bristol on a very rainy and windy evening and went straight to the Arnolfini Bristol to set up my talk organised by the West of England Design Forum. A great but scary auditorium!

Phew! what an incredible space the symposium venue at the Manchester Town Hall. I was speaking yesterday at the Manchester Design Symposium, once I stopped shaking I got into my stride. Adrian Shaughnessy was thought provoking talk, Will Hudson and Vera Maria Glahn were inspiring. I loved Jason Smith’s font for an artist and it was David Kirkwood’s first talk ever, what a venue for your first time, have a look at his project 3hundredand65 and Merzbarn the Kurt Schwitter’s project (Schwitter’s was one of my biggest influences when I was at St Martin’s). A great day and lots to think about, thanks to the organisers for wanting me and thanks to Professor David Crow for chairing us and Malcolm Garrett who joined us on the panel discussion.

In the break one of the audience wrote this note and gave it to David Crow, feels so good when you get a response like this as you never really know how you come across, thank you.
