"Trust your instinct. And trust your mother because she's got great style. In ten years time when you look back at those photos, it'll be coming back around anyway."

Andrew Slane came into this Father's Day weekend the way most good ones arrive. Unplanned and already in motion. A week away, back home, and then straight into Father's Day before he had time to register it was coming. A lucky, lucky dad by his own assessment. It is hard to argue with him.

He runs Blink, a creative agency built around signage, printing, and graphic design. The kind of work that rewards attention to detail and a clear point of view. Fatherhood, it turns out, operates on a completely different brief. Andrew grew up without a dad around, went to a school where plenty of other kids were in the same situation, and arrived at parenthood with very little reference point for what it would actually feel like.

"It was kind of like an unknown. But it's awesome."
