The beautiful therapy of fresh air hand lettering.

After an intense chapter of working on intricate animations, pretty much glued for months to my screens and mathematical keyframes, I finally took some time out to recharge and headed to St. Ives for a few days solo retreat. My favourite analogue habits finally had time to work their magic, as I picked up brush pens once again and began feeling my way back to some good new ideas.

Lovely little café Mount Zion Coffee was a perfect base for a day’s meandering around town. Here I let words flow – such a delight to see my sketchbook fill up with fresh expressions again!

My camera came out on tour too, so in between Barbara Hepworth, the Tate, watching sunset and surf from The Island and a throwing lesson with a local potter, I also have loads of lovely shots to inspire some writing.

What a great trip! I’m back in Bristol now, holding on to all this nourishing inspiration as a new chapter begins.
