The first sign following the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

I had always wanted to do something based on the "No Stopping" sign. It's a striking design that immediately communicates importance.

There is an urgency and absoluteness about it.

But I spent most of 2001 blocked and came up with very few ideas.

It meant that I began 2002 with many regrets.

Eventually, to fill in time between sighs, I started thinking about "Regrets."

I came to the conclusion that, putting aside things that regrets are appropriate for (Murder, mayhem, Chicago albums...) a great many of the regrets we weigh ourselves down with relate to things that we can't do anything to change.

So I thought, enough already with the regrets!

Let's get on with it, Nicky boy.

(I like the way they describe the sign as "professionally produced." Hell, say what you like about Chinese kiddies,they're not the only ones who can do good work.)
