art supplies to children's hospitals, and other organizations where the need arises.

Book of conversations
I have a couple of pages in this 'questions and sometimes answers' book thats out now and available here. Its quite a hefty book thats full of a lot of good work by a long list of illustrators, photographers and designers thats too big for me to post here. (Pictured are myself-near death experience, Eboy, Paul Bower and Nishant Choksi)
"When was the last time you had a great conversation? A conversation that was out of the blue, intriguing and interesting. A conversation where you found out so much more about your friends and so much about yourself.
The Book of Conversations came to life because we simply aren’t as good at talking as we used to be. Too often we just trade information. What we did, what we bought, where we went, what we did at work.
The book is a collection of questions, each question a conversation starter. It’s the intrigue of exploring someone and discovering what lies beneath. Some questions are deep, some trivial and some you will never forget.
However, just words were not enough. Images provoke people in ways that words sometimes can’t. 120 artists, graphic designers, creative directors, art directors, photographers, illustrators and animators were approached and were each given a question.
Their task was to provoke this question with an image. The image could make the reader cry, shout, laugh or think. But most importantly, it should get them to talk."
