You can find Jez’ work on his own site, jezburrows.com, which is also where you can purchase his latest limited-edition book And Introducing! You can also pick up his previous book, Dictionary Stories: Short Fictions and Other Findings, wherever you find books normally (other than your bookshelf, unless you had already purchased it, received it as a gift, or stole it). Jez’ work can also be seen in the form of Instagram and Threads’ iconography, so what better way to see it than to give him a follow on each respectively?

Did I Do That? is a podcast about graphic designers—the ups and downs they face in creative practice, because making design means making lots (and lots) of mistakes.
Every other Thursday, host Sean Schumacher (Ass’t Professor of Graphic Design at Portland State University) is joined by a designer guest with a story about their own mistakes starting out and how they ended up where they did. It’s very weird, pretty silly, and definitely not serious—but neither are designers.
