I’m Creative Director of Electrotype, a boutique content and design house in Singapore. We spin compelling stories for discerning clients, using words, pictures, design and interface.
In Singapore I’ve been the editor of two magazines, written for countless others, done a number of fairly cool and fulfilling art jobs, and I recently left a post I’ve had for the past 4 years as CD at a local design agency. I’m a big follower of “nu-marketing”, digital, great design in any medium and street art — though you’ve probably noticed that from the stuff I post — and I’m fascinated with creativity and environments that nurture it.
When I’m not working (which seems to be never, but even the word “work” strikes me as a pretty fluid term these days) I have some Buddhist interests, keep up with the local arts scene, explore corners of the city, annoy people with my camera and chill in a pretty gorgeous home with my equally gorgeous partner and the world’s mellowest cat. I have a list of hobbies as long as your arm and all kinds of half-finished and pending projects that make every moment precious. I’m interested in pretty much everything, which doesn’t help.
I’ll write more soon, I promise, but I’ve got this weird mental block about writing about myself that I just can’t seem to shake.

how much wood would a wood chuck suck if a wood chuck could suck wood?
how much blog would a writer blog if a writer got writer’s block?

Hi Marc, I’m a fan of your sister, Liz – I read her blogs on a regular basis from my current home in Arizona, USA. Haven’t heard from Liz in quite awhile so I thought I’d check with you to find out if all is well with her. Funny how we begin to relate to and think about the people we blog with even if we have never met and possibly never will.

James!
Thanks for dropping by! I know it takes a lot to get you to read anything that doesn’t weigh more than 2kg, come as a trilogy and involve magical powers.
=p
Actually if I can just solve the trilogy thing I’d almost fit the bill.

I actually looked through some of your pictures, and you sure have a good eye on capturing shots. Especially about your friends with natural expressions…
