(insert another word for congratulations here) on the birth of the adorable poop machine, Alys Rose who as it happens has more hair than her father and hopefully a Kairdiff baby accent.

Hope Emma’s doing well, I’ll send a mini snowboard in the post soon.

Hello Alys, and congratulations Mark!

I’ve just remembered when my Beatriz was born seven years ago. We’re now trying to get a brother for her :)

Children are a lot of work but once they learn how to play World of Warcraft and Playstation 3 games against their geek dad things start getting funnier :)

Enjoy your beautiful daugther Mark, best wishes from Lima, Peru.

A picture of Mark BoultonI'm a graphic designer from near Cardiff in the UK. I've been a designer for over ten years now and primarily work on the web. I'm still partial to a bit of print every now and then though. I used to work for Agency.com in London as an Art Director before working as a Senior Designer for the BBC in sunny Cardiff. This was all before I took leave of my senses and formed my own design consultancy, Mark Boulton Design Ltd.

I've got a thing about grids and typography and occasionally ramble on about them to anyone who will listen.

If you're after simple, clean and effective web design; let me know.
