My New Site

Blatant self-promo plug here... but I've completely redesigned my website from scratch to give a fuller representation of me as a creative person. Hopefully it's not as pretentious as that last sentence sounded. Decide for yourself by visiting mattish.com and have a look around at what I've been doing.

Just saw this link on It's nice that, see I told you it was good.

Clever ideas without being pretentious.

Red Bull Music

If you like music but want to know a bit more behind the artists and the music industry, you might want to check out the Red Bull Music Academy Lectures. (Especially the ?uestlove one) Good to listen to whilst working I find.

Watch them via the website or subscribe via iTunes podcasts.

(the Website videos includes music the lecturers/artist play which is edited out on the podcasts)

Well worth a listen.

Walls With Stuff Written On

For a quick bit of inspirational thinking, look to the streets. I love looking at graffiti like this - some of the driest humour you'll find anywhere.

There's loads and loads to get through too: the writing is on the wall.

19th Century Shipping Posters

Well the title say is all really, although technically they are 19th Century clipper trading cards advertising voyages, not posters. I really wanted to write that they were like 'olden day' Top Trumps, but they aren't.

Some lovely typography and illustrations in amongst the set.
