Experience

The Scrutineer: A Fine Art Graduate who morphed into a Graphic Designer and Art Director before sliding back into being a Fine Artist again who continues to function as a Graphic Designer... Scrutineer Publishing (Scrutineer's) is a variety of talented peeps depending on THE JOB.

All work and no play…

Not a good state of affairs.


After work, the Scrutineers like to have a little sit down with a nice cup of tea… then, when rested, they perk up a bit and start playing again!
Comb through the Scrutineer’s Design Portfolio, [constantly updated, honed and tweaked], to see how time is passed. Or just randomly click your way through WORK, REST & PLAY – the Post headings are clickable for more info (but heck, you already know that!)

The Scrutineer

She mostly likes:

RachaelAdamsAutodidacticism; A maudlin ballad; Johnny Cash; pegging out the washing on a sunny morning in the back garden; Party Food at parties (Twiglets & cheese & pineapple stick things); Magnolia blossom on a ludicrous tree; tea not water; Chris Morris; the passion of Tears of the Black Tiger; red or pink lipstick (Glamour at all times); the wafting smell of a roast dinner; the angry love songs of Nick Cave; Doggy people; William Hogarth; Harry Beck’s London Underground Map (plus, any Ordnance Survey map, and The Stanford’s shop in Long Acre); obvious trite in the company of self-important types…

The story…

Scrutineer's is a den in Brighton, where the inhabitants muck about with art stuff. They produce proper grown-up work > websites, books, animations, printed brochures etcetera, etcetera. They have their thumbs in many pies. Thankfully. They also waste vast amounts of time doing equally proper stuff for no financial gain whatsoever.

The End.

Search Me. Go on.
