'Noughties, But Nice': a review of the previous decade


It was a few months coming and should have gone up in early January, but I've finally completed and posted my review of the previous decade. Titled 'Noughties, But Nice' (click on link to visit review), it was originally intended for this blog but ended up being so long that it seemed to fit better on the Collected Writings site.

The review looks at the previous ten years (2000 to 2009) from a personal point of view and describes some of what I got up to in that time, backdropped with notable global events. I'm hoping that it serves as a full stop on that period and I can move on creatively to new works in the future.

I also created a couple of graphics to go with it, 'Noughties, But Nice' above and 'Social-ist' below. It was great to get my hands dirty on some graphics work again, even though I didn't really have time and they took quite a while to put together. There are full descriptions of the images over at the D1 Designs set on Flickr.

Do drop by to take a look, and let me know how the decade was for you. Any surprises? Big changes? Where were you on 9/11 or when Obama got elected? Do you feel more or less 'green' than when the decade began? What was your favourite music of the period? Is this next decade going to be a good one or a bad one - and why?

Happy reading...
