I’m currently looking over my more recent works and pondering the possibilities of fusing the design work, the interactive and the narrative, a la Dave McKean or Nick Bantock. Hmm.
Meanwhile, I’m also cranking up the engine for the next edition of Inkblots, which should be the Winter/Spring 2004 edition. Again, fusion. It’s a double issue in large part due to Finishing Season; all my resources that I’d usually be throwing at Inkblots are currently going to building other projects for people, and one fairly-sized one for me. Details soon, although most have you have probably been able to figure out what I’m talking about by now.
