‘So what is the logo about?’ asked a friend recently. So, friend, here’s the answer.

The base logo I use on my prints.

Where Is The Edge?

January 18, 2021 by Simon Robinson Leave a Comment

‘Apparently, 600-1,000 words is the sweet spot for introducing one big idea. The brevity disciplines the author and allows the reader to grasp the essential point—and to remain hungry for more even as she moves to another essay.’

Here are three scarf candidates for your daily eye candy:

Full Circles

January 15, 2021 by Simon Robinson Leave a Comment

I posted several photos to Instagram the other day. I decided on a theme: What is Red? My posts were in response to an ‘invitation’ to share red coloured photos with #capturecolors and @captureonepro in the captions of my posts. I thought to limit my post to photos taken in Ireland in 2020 and found six I liked. Submissions closed today and three Fuji cameras await the the best pictures posted with those tags.

Still An Issue

January 6, 2021 by Simon Robinson Leave a Comment

It was back in 2003 when first I read that John Pilger had won the Sophie Prize. He was surprised, to judge from the tone of his acceptance speech. His journalism has always been quite outspoken about the imperialist and colonialist agendas of many ‘western’ countries like his native Australia, the UK and of course, the US.

This photograph of mine that I've printed onto one of my scarves, links to my memories of Jostein Gaarder, Sophie's World and the Sophie Prize.

From Parandrus to Picasso

December 25, 2020 by Simon Robinson Leave a Comment

The proud parents showed us her sketch and we were taken aback. This was back in early September. Then, a few days later, we were talking about it while hill walking during one of the inter-pandemic lockdown respites. We talked with the artist about her sketch and how art can involve many media. We joined the artist sketching smiley faces on soft slates with hard glacial dropstones and left the faces by the trail to cheer other walkers.

FabHappy Refresh

The fabhappy.com website was fully refreshed and relaunched in early November. This was after months of work by Peter who was striving to ‘make it a more pleasing experience for anybody that visits the site.’
