35,000 and counting!

Over the last year I've been doing reserach for my We Are Marshy Folk project, and busily turning what I've found out into meaningful illustrations to make the story simple and engaging. My years in journalism taught me how to craft data and information into stories that people can catch onto and take away with them. This project has always been about creating a new story about Grimsby, one that goes beyond the boom and the bust of the docks. This story is about landscape and uniqueness of place, and I'm going to enjoy the next few months talking about what I've learned about our past... (the headline refers to the number of words I've written!)
