I'm pleased to see this mural grace a significant wall in Thornton Heath for several reasons. Its message to our youth is 'Dare to Dream' of high achievement. Fullfill your potential. And I love the fact it was done by @BarefaceTee, a local artist with an international reputation

Today I met an inspirational group of community-minded young people who 'Dare to Dream' of improving parts of Thornton Heath linked to fond childhood memories. After a visit to @cacfouk 1st stop was this playground on Northwood Rd which they want to give TLC to benefit local kids
So first you steal the flowers from our community flowerbed and after we replace them you do this? What if your 🤬 problem?... when I see you on the road its on!

Hey designers, before you bark about "hating" a newly designed thing... maybe give it some time first?
We (of all people) should understand the value of experience over time, since it's literally what we're trained to do.

Haters come after you where you’re weakest.
Don’t just ignore them because it hurts or because they’re dicks.
Really listen. See if they’re right. There are few people more powerful than those who can take the rocks thrown at them and build something out of them.
2 years ago today since my last solo show. This show taught me a BIG life lesson. I let my ego get the better of me and got into something I wasn’t ready for and it showed in the collection, hence the poor sales. Always listen to your own voice and not the voices around you.
It’s been an honor to produce this mural for #nationalwindrushday at the newly opened Croydon Windrush Garden. My gran who arrived in the U.K. in the 50s always told me to “DARE TO DREAM” I hope she is proud of the dreams I have dared to chase 🙏🏾

“Sell me this pen.” I wanted to incorporate some small details that tells a story for people that don’t know the movie. #urban #street #art #leonardodicaprio #bairface #theurbanframer #artwork #gallery #film #wolfofwallstreet #iconic #artforsale #london #surrey #coulsdon

When I post a logo here I get a lot of immediate 'subjective' responses.
If you're a designer, do your research first - understand the context. The goals. The strategy. Do some digging. Then provide constructive feedback that adds value to the world, rather than "that's s#$t".

I got to play with a beta version of the new @Adobe VR software project aero at Adobe Max.

One of the most straightforward pieces of advice I ever gave as a Senior Civil Servant was about race equality policy. Black History Month 2018 is a good time for reflection about the past & what might be. Great Magazine by @ppvernon, @northdown01 et al

Number 1 mistake of marketing is to treat social media like advertising. People love to buy but hate being sold to. Stop selling.
Instead, trade value (educate or entertain) in exchange for customers’ time and attention. Stop treating new media like old media. It doesn’t work.

Revelations about the Tory Mayoral Candidate's racist generalisations are an absolute disgrace. But calling him an 'Uncle Tom' or a 'coconut' is just unacceptable. Counterproductive to resort to slurs when expressing outrage.
Truth be told, I shouldn’t even be here today but I am grateful for getting through some really dark times in my 20’s. People fear what they don’t understand so some will push you away, but find someone you can talk to cause it can really make a difference #WorldMentalHealthDay

The book is misleading & shd be withdrawn from schools. In Jamaica slavery plus colonization lasted about 350yrs. As a system of control it created strong black women through rape &absent fathers through abuse. Its only 56yrs since independence! Descendents are finding their feet
As we celebrate #blackhistorymonth a reminder of what is taught in national curriculum on black families and parenting for sociology.
