Trust me, I loath hashtags as much as I dislike campaigns that rely on them. With few exceptions, such as #ShoutOuttoHelpOut to help as many graduates get their works seen by as many people as possible.
Welcome to volume 5
Let’s be honest, many graduates of 2020 are sat, back at their parents house. Food and shelter and washing paid for. So perhaps they’re not high on the growing list of what you should give a shit about. Put yourself in their shoes and consider whether you’d appreciate any help. You would. You’re lying if you said you wouldn’t.

Freelancing might seem exciting, but it’s no walk in the park. Especially during a global pandemic. Many freelancers are currently struggling, most are out of work and almost all of them have fallen between the cracks of the Government schemes that fail to offer any protection or support.
Last year myself and Dave Harland collaborated, designed and printed a limited edition print inspired by and for freelancers everywhere, to raise money to donate to Mind. Screen-printed by Dan Mather.
We planned to donate all profits to support Mind, but in all honesty we didn’t sell enough (11 to be precise). So to help try and raise something for Mind we are practically giving away the remaining 39, selling them for a fraction of the cost. Each poster costs just£20 (+P&P). This won’t even cover our costs, but if we sell all 39 prints for £20, we will donate…
Learning to survive, thrive and help our six year old daughter
At Christmas time there are plenty of apps you can download to keep the Santa Claus illusion alive. Personalised letters sent from Santa, boxes with personalised gifts delivered and much more. Helping keep the pretence and providing much needed leverage for parents: ‘if don’t stop misbehaving Santa will know, I’ll text him!’
(NOTE: don’t tell your child the alarm sensors in the rooms double as Santa Spy Sensors, it can backfire).
Sunday morning I woke-up thinking much the same as many of you, ‘How are we going to deal with being at home, altogether, juggling work and ‘home-schooling’? Our son is nearly 14 and self-sufficient but our six year old daughter?
Emails and messages from the school, logins for this site and that platform. Reams of paper with ‘tasks’ to do.
A thought came to me! I’ll set her briefs. Fun projects focused on topics, fold-in subjects in to learning about that topic (thanks Finland).
Wait. She’s six, if she figures our it’s me setting the briefs she’ll find reasons not…
Claimed as the most depressing day of the year, ‘Blue Monday’ is a name given to the third Monday of January. Not based in any scientific or medical research, it was a phrase coined by a travel companies press release in 2005. Another marketing strategy making light of the serious subject of mental health.
Back to real life. January means it’s Winter. You’re getting up in the morning, getting ready, leaving your home while it’s dark and returning hours later, in the dark. Or you’re a freelancer, working from home. Getting up, getting ready as everyone else leaves the house you face another day. If the latter sounds idyllic, it can be but often it’s equally daunting (remember: the grass is always greener).
