Hello! I’m Mike Reed. When I’m not running my brand language agency, Reed Words, I’m often writing, drawing, photographing or painting things. The examples I feel best about end up here. They’re not the sum of me, but they’re some of me. Hope you enjoy them.

In 2021 I turned this into a blog site, which makes it easier to update and hopefully creates a nice sort of gallimaufry effect. You can filter for writing, drawing, etc in the blog. I hope you enjoy it, and am always keen to hear your thoughts.

I love drawing and don’t do enough of it.

Sometimes I write poems or stories alongside the copywriting. This is the first stanza of “Parental Lament” – you can read the rest here.

Without a tumour in his head.

I love photography, especially street photography of people in cities. This is at the Palio in Siena.

Very occasionally I paint things.
