I wrote, designed, illustrated and laid out a book for William Collins. The book attempts to illuminate, through infographics, each stage of the development of the material Universe, from the first cataclysmic moments to the emergence of human and machine intelligence, Eureka! presents the unfolding science that lies behind and between then and now. Personally, it was a tour de force… almost killed me.

Ian Christie (British film scholar and Professor of Film and Media History at Birkbeck, University of London) wanted to put together an updated (and upgraded) edition of what was in its first incarnation a booklet to accompany the 1978 National Film Theatre ground-breaking programme – ‘Russian Eccentrics’, a showcase for many offbeat films from the Soviet silent era. The self-financed new edition was conceived to celebrate the centenary of the establishment of the Factory of the Eccentric Actor (FEKS).
Ketchup worked closely with Christie, moulding a new design and landscape format to best present a translated facimile of the original FEKS 1922 Manifesto.

‘How have radical print cultures fostered and preserved queer lived experience from the 1960s to the present? What alternative stories about queer life across Europe can visual material reveal?’
