What I am up to

My current work aims to improve media coverage of international development issues.

What's new

Finding the right words in a downturn, Irish Times opinion piece

Aid should not be cut, a letter to the Sunday Business Post

The Trillion-Dollar Question, a letter to Time. The accompanying letter underneath proves the point nicely.

What's fairly new

Andreja Volenec has a myspace page featuring her music and a web site.

When we were based in London, I organised the Oxjam Kingston Music Festival and some other gigs for Oxfam. Andreja performed for our acoustic night.

The Story of Virtue: Universal Lessons on How to Live by Joe Humphreys is out now, published by Liffey Press. I provided illustrations for each the 14 chapters.

“The stories retold in this book are, literally, timeless. . . . By returning to these stories we can reclaim a lost wisdom that has been covered up for generations”

More information...

Joe's latest book is Foul Play: What's Wrong with Sport.

The movie premiere for Cold Harbour took place at the Lighthouse Cinema in Poole. I played "Miller."

My article, Six pointers for jobhunters, was published in the Guardian Rise supplement. It was featured on the supplement's front page (See bottom-right of right-hand image below — no, that's not me beside it.)
