I often talk about blogging, but this post is different. This is a thank you to two writers whom I have been following for a long while, and whose work continues to inspire me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
First up, is Julia Harrison<\/a>, a North Carolina-based artist, anthropologist, and educator, whom I met when I was studying Anthropology at UCL. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Julia’s work is all round awesome, and I am a regular reader of her blog<\/a>, and a great admirer of her creations<\/a>. From wooden paper bags and jewellery to awe-inspiring public art and furnishings, her domain is a treasure trove of inspiration. You can even join her for a virtual studio visit! <\/p>\n\n\n\n What I appreciate the most, however, is Julia’s newsletter<\/a>. It’s semi-regular, and whenever a new edition lands in my inbox I happily read the whole thing. I love the tone and voice, I am always interested to learn about what’s been happening and it balances a great mix of work\/art and life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Around the same time as I was at UCL, I also worked at Foyles, and London’s melting pot delivered a wonderful group of co-workers including Nick Tabone<\/a>. Already full to the brim with book and music recommendations then, many of which I still have on my bookshelf and in my record collection today, Nick’s writing has evolved over the years as his life has taken him to become a writer, a sailor, a runner, and a skateboarder. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNick Tabone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
