Wheel of fortune with blank spaces for chalk text.

A recent commission for a wheel of fortune with chalkboard spaces so the user can add the fortunes. It's for Playful Anywhere based in Leeds and is currently being used as part of a playful intervention in the city centre.

I assume you know Oliver Facey? He has a fair few. I can refer you to our game Contact. Mandala Studios and suit designs from Paul Cope. We worked hard to make it look good. (apologies for the FB link but best I have)

(outside parameters) I have a fondness for Jack Vance's Big Planet & Planet of Adventure series. More recently Paul J. McCauley's Quiet War series and Ian McDonald's Luna series because they show the subtle changes in people and communities in extreme environments & how that makes them quite alien.

Quite a few new follows and followers these last couple of days after the depressingly familiar news about FB. I think it is important to remember we're a bunch of friendly, creative people who want a better world for all. Don't lose sight of that. Delight in your fabulous self!
