SSS (Status Short Stories)

My very good friend Johnny is a very talented chap. A wordsmith like no other, he likes to update his Facebook status with short stories. He's currently collecting together his favourites and asking people to illustrate them for him using only the colours blue and black. Here's my little contribution...



"Johnny stared, dumbstruck, as the metallic exoskeleton of The Brief simply walked out of the fire unscathed. Terrified, he ran into the nearest office to hide. But he knew, he understood - The Brief was out there. It couldn't be bargained with. It couldn't be reasoned with. It didn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely would not stop, ever, until he was dead."

Busy

Over 50 ads designed, artworked and sent off to print around the entire world in just one week isn't a bad effort really is it? The final product of my first freelance stint which was at Amp

New Flat... New skills

Me and my girlfriend moved in to our new flat on tuesday (woop!) and as most moving days are, it was stressful as hell. Even more so when the set of keys we were given DIDN'T WORK and we ended up being locked out from 8.30pm till about midnight. Luckily our awesome friends from El Panchos (mexican restaurant beneath my old flat) lent us a ladder and we managed to break in through the kitchen window. The ladder is currently still there.

Load of Bull

Yesterday was the TBCH summer party. I was asked to design the invite and decided to take the opportunity to do some nice illustrative work. It turned out to be more than a little bit of a Si Scott homage...

Tilt Shift photography

Tilt-Shift photography is a fancy pants term for making photos of real life trick the viewer's eye into believing the captured images are those of miniature model sets. There are cameras available that will take photos like this, or by using lens blur, over-saturation and a bit of high contrast you can do it yourself with any normal photo..






But it obviously helps to make them look like a model if you take the original photos from a higher perspective (examples taken from HERE)...




Here's a great tutorial if your interested in experimenting yourself.

Destroy All Monsters

I recently stumbled upoon an exhibition showcasing a shedload of art associated with the cult garage band Destroy All Monsters. Suffice to say to blew my mind.. my camera ran out of film whilst there but i managed to capture the below images which merely hint at the insanity that was on show..



Although i'd never heard of the band before this moment, i later discovered that the members included Ron Asheton of The Stooges and Michael Davis of the MC5. Amazing. Check out more about the band here

FREE Televised Crimewave show

We're playing a special one off show next week (Wed 17th March) with our good friends Chapter Sweetheart. It's at the Lock Tavern in Camden and it's COMPLETELY FREE to get in.

We haven't played a show for 3 months whilst we work on new songs (which we will be recording in a nice shiny studio in April). If you want to hear what we've been up to, come and hang out...
