Everyday Cog

Michael’s at the National Theatre to see Patrick Marber’s Three Days in the Country. Here he is, sitting with all his friends.

Michael and Sam are at a presentation in the West End. They stopped off at the Fourth Plinth and Sam almost looked a gift horse in the mouth.

Michael’s at DBA to talk about a new project. He met with Sarah and Adam, shown here, casually chatting, in sofas, in front of the DBA logo.

Michael’s Arts Emergency badge has arrived in the post and is already being proudly worn.

The fudge Lydia brought back from her trip to Scotland has been banished into the kitchen because it smells. The Iron Brew fudge was clearly not a popular choice but the shortbread definitely was.

Anna went to Amsterdam and came back with some tasty Stroopwafels… try saying that five times with one in your mouth.

Michael’s son, Ryan is here to help us with some research, although we don’t know how he’s going to get anything done with his hair in his eyes.

It’s Lydia’s last day with us. As a special treat, she’s let us gather round her monitor whilst she gives her infamous ‘lemony water’ talk.

Our door is broken, so Anna has had to carry her bike up the spiral staircase and through the studio. She looks pleased that she invested in such a lightweight bike.

We’re at The Hill, wishing Lydia well in her new career as a teacher.

Catherine, Robert and Joy are here from TACT to chart with Ross, Sam and Michael about the new website we’re designing.

Student, Alexandra Marcus popped in to interview Michael about how we’ve designed and organised our studio.

Ocky and Anna are testing out the huge banner we’ve designed for King’s Maths School.

Working to the brief of ‘look as designery as possible’, Ross set the standard for others to follow in our test-shot for a new project.

Erica’s back. In her first day as a freelancer, Erica has flown over from Berlin to spend a week with us in London.

We’re having a clear out. Michael’s explaining to Anna how this old fax machine used to work – what, you could send pictures down a phone line?

It’s Cog Night and the team are experiencing ‘Absent’, a new piece by the immersive theatrical company, Dream Think Speak. Here they are, checking-in to the ‘Shoreditch Town Hall Hotel’.

We’ve had our annual visit from the students and staff at Abbey Manor College. Michael has been chatting with them about career paths and opportunities.

Ice-maiden Jenny is freezing her finger to make our Friday gin round.

Anna’s opening the file copies of her first big print job since joining us – the King’s Maths School prospectus. She seems happy with the results.

Nickie Hirst from the Department of Creative Professions & Digital Arts at University of Greenwich has popped in to chat with Michael.

Jenny and Becca are at Serpentine Gallery for the private view of Jimmie Durham exhibition: Various items and complaints which opens tomorrow.
