Frequently asked questions
Do companies let you be free with what you produce for them ?
It varies but generally I’m very lucky and get to have a lot of control over what I produce for companies. I’m not very good, creatively, when a brief is very exact and specific. I work best when I can use my imagination and the client trusts me to do so.
Yes, many. Reasons include -
1. not interested in it
2. against the product in question
3. not enough time
4. not enough money
5. knew I wouldn’t actually be good at that job so turned it down
Kidrobot but this interview from Feburary 2009 on Youtube.
No I do not. If I could have a pet it would be a naked mole rat or a humpback whale.
I definitely prefer them more crunchy than too soggy. It’s a difficult balance to get right but I strive to achieve it every morning.
1. Only shake them with the lids on.
2. Dab them and hold down on some scrap cardboard to get the ink coming through the nib.
3. Don’t press them too hard into the wall or you might make them leak.
4. If your bullet tip gets worn down, get a tissue, pull out the nib and flip it over.
5. The pens are re-fillable (with your own ink) and you can buy new nibs for them, so hang on to the empties.
6. They last a long time so if you think it’s run out repeat tips 1 and 2 a few times first to make sure.
7. Don’t drink the ink.
