Hello! I am a freelance graphic designer seeking new clients. I’ve put my modest editing skills to good use to prepare a short video by way of an introduction. Please share, and if you have a creative project please get in touch! Thanks and buon lavoro ☺️

@FootballRamble @SullyBen Yesterday the same commentator called Austria “Australia.”

[James Campbell Taylor @jamestaylor]

@Phil_Nourse “Three Lions” was always a regression (both musically and culturally) from “World In Motion.”

@AwayDays_ Bigoted morons.

[James Campbell Taylor @jamestaylor]

From Fox’s coverage of the World Cup you’d be forgiven for thinking that football was an individual sport. All they’re concerned about is certain superstar players meeting their expectations and perpetuating a pre-conceived narrative. It’s so juvenile, American and BORING.

[James Campbell Taylor @jamestaylor]

John Strong on Fox is the first football commentator I’ve ever heard for whom the match itself seems like an inconvenience, as it forces him occasionally to interrupt the mostly inane and speculative narratives he insists on shoving down our throats for ninety minutes.

@legg_kenny A few years ago Sergio Goycoechea, Argentina’s penalty-saving hero from the 1990 World Cup, actually opened an Italian restaurant outside Buenos Aires called Trattoria Italia 90.

@retrofootballnw Fiorentina-Livorno, October 2005. It rained so much that I ended up leaving at halftime.

funny how born to run (the album) opens with the best song ever written (thunder road) and yet somehow every song on that record is better than the one before

I think of this every time I walk past the stock exchange on the way to my office.

Robert Downey Jr. was horrified by what he saw when he visited Wall Street in the 90s

@barneyhurley1 My first SD show was on that tour.

Songs I absolutely did not expect to hear today: “I Don’t Want To Be A Hero” by Johnny Hates Jazz. Reached number 11 in August ’87. Pretty sure I had the 7-inch single…

[James Campbell Taylor @jamestaylor]

@Bonetti Rio probably doesn’t rate Totti very highly because he never won the Ballon d’Or 🙄

"I have concepts of a plan" is literally this L.A. party joke from Annie Hall

[James Campbell Taylor @jamestaylor]

I’ve spent the last 24 hours trying to identify the coffee shop in this scene from “City Hall” (1996). The paintings, red seating and midcentury wall sconces all seem too specific for it to be a set. Can anyone out there help? At this point @johncusack may be my only hope…
