 Day 243 – 365 / August 31st 2015 Here is Maggie The Mini Schnauzer. This image was taken as I laid in bed and she clambered all over me trying to get herself comfortable. I ended up getting out of bed.

 Day 242 – 365 / August 30th 2015 My great friend Steve is a Leyton Orient fan. yes, I know, I was stunned that such folk existed too. Anyway, I have known him for many years and he is a sound chap. Last season his beloved O’s were relegated just a year after competing in the…

 Day 241 – 365 / August 29th 2015 The August Bank Holiday weekend has, for the last few years, heralded a four day “jigsaw festival” in Brighouse. Yes, like you, I was initially scathing. “A jigsaw festival! Lots of jigsaws for sale in the local church?! Madness!” And so, I did not attend that first year. However,…

 Day 240 – 365 / August 28th 2015 I was contracted to install a series of graphics at a school today. The graphics were all of various inspirational words and quotations from the likes of Albert Einstein, Lionel Messi and JK Rowling among many others. This is a close up of one of them.

 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 / 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 / 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 / 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 / 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 / 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 / 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 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…
