Day 239 – 365 / August 27th 2015 Last year I designed, produced and installed a series of graphic panels and “sponsor” plaques for a display of Bradford City shirts at Valley Parade. The shirts are all framed and there is one, where possible, for each season going back to the mid 1960s. I have been doing…

Day 238 – 365
Day 238 – 365 / August 26th 2015 This little critter was hitching a ride on my Vito today as I drove between meeting clients and some site work. I have decided to name it “Itsy” as that seems appropriate for a spider. I do not know how long he tagged along with me but, as I…
Day 237 – 365
Day 237 – 365 / August 25th 2015 This is what I was working on this morning. A brand new Peugeot Partner van, now all “sign written” by YT. I designed the graphics a few weeks ago and, once the client had OK’d them, I produced them and booked him in for today for installation. I often…
Day 236 – 365
Day 236 – 365 / August 24th 2015 Today’s “365” image is of a sign system I have just finished making today; it awaits installation later this week. As you may be able to see from the images, it is a directory style sign with individual, replaceable plaques for each client. The plaques are made from 5mm…
Day 235 – 365
Day 235 – 365 / August 23rd 2015 I have booked in again with Tommi for some more ink work on my (second) sleeve. So, on September 10th as my lovely wife cruises The Med with her mother, I will celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary by getting tattooed in Manchester. Today’s “365” is from an image I…
Day 234 – 365
Day 234 – 365 / August 22nd 2015 Hasn’t it been a super summer? With warm, sunny days the norm and rain a mere distant memory? Not exactly. It’s been cold, wet and chilly. So much so that, even in August, I have resorted on a few occasions to wrapping up against the weather. Well, here is…
Day 233 – 365
Day 233 – 365 / August 21st 2015 Sausages and beans. One of my favourites! This is a personal favourite of mine and, although I haven’t had it for a wee while, it is fabulous. All you need are some sausages and beans – you most likely realised that from the name “sausage and beans” I expect…
Day 232 – 365
Day 232 – 365 / August 20th 2015 It’s been a little while sine our cemetery featured in a “365 Project” image. I have bee intrigued by this grave for a little while. It is slightly shorter than the usual some of a grave and the brightly coloured decorations, the flowers, scarecrow and windmill, lend it a…
Day 231 – 365
Day 231 – 365 / August 19th 2015 Today I had a small graphic repair to complete at a local vehicle body shop where I often do work. The bodyshop manager, Paul, is a rather nice chap and we often chat about football whilst I am on site. However, despite being a nice chap, Paul is deluded…
Day 230 – 365
Day 230 – 365 / August 18th 2015 Valley Parade features, yet again, in another “365 Project” image. Here we see the Bradford City team moments before kick off against Gillingham in the second league match at Valley Parade this season. Seven minutes later James Hanson put us 1-0 up with his first league goal of the…
Day 229 – 365
Day 229 – 365 / August 17th 2015 44. That is how many ties I own. In an effort to keep them tidy and to be able to see what I have when choosing a tie to wear, I have put four hanging racks onto my wardrobe door. Now I can keep my ties tidy and visible….
Day 228 – 365
Day 228 – 365 / August 16th 2015 We were pleased to be able to collect the scarves from the weavers in time for Saturday’s first home game of the season. The folk who had kindly reserved the scarves and turned up to collect them seemed very pleased with them. That was especially gratifying as, with any…
Day 227 – 365
Day 227 – 365 / August 15th 2015 It’s always a special day when you attend the first home game of the season. A chance to revisit your spiritual home and to soak in the ambience and vibe of the place that the close season deprives you off between early May and the start of August. You…
Day 226 – 365
Day 226 – 365 / August 14th 2015 I had cause to visit my church today. Unusually, today’s trip to Valley Parade wasn’t part of my spiritual devotion but, instead, was business. I was dropping off some graphic panels I had been commissioned to produce. As luck would have it, shortly before setting off, I saw a…
