A couple of links here from my recent stint covering the deputy editor’s job on Idealog magazine.

First, a short feature on John Gow, a very cool philanthropist doing great things with public art. And secondly, the story of Nathan Goldsworthy’s recent re-brand and his new self-assembled furniture, including The Adjutant desk, which will feature in my dream study, once I can afford it. Once I can afford a study, actually.

Regarding working in an office again, despite my fears about returning to a 9-5 routine after a year of early mornings and weekend work — and 3pm breaks for a swim or a nap, in case I’m misrepresenting the freelance lifestyle in any way — it was pretty invigorating to be part of a highly creative, and often also highly amusing, team again. Big ups to the new art director, Charlie McKay (ex-Metro), whose hilarious re-takes on cover lines caused me to accidentally snort-drink my coffee on more than one occasion. (Would Liz Lemon called that “sninking”? I’d like to think so.)
