oh dear, I have been neglecting the blog again...

Well it's been a while since I last posted,
apologies, everythings been a bit more hands
on since I finally got round to printing
Tshirts. Been a bit tricky getting the hang
of it but I've put some of the prints on Folksy
and they have actually been selling!!

The Eagle

Ok bit of a crap photo, but I have been drawing this for absolutely ages
and it is now ready to be turned into a screenprint hopefully tomorrow.
Looking forward to seeing how this will work on a Tshirt. Could be tricky.

The end of the romantic era...

...well hopefully the end. Just spent the morning with Debbie making final adjustments to the programme for the night. Took quite a bit of tweaking to fit everything in that she wanted, but we've finally got there in the end. This should be off to print in the next few days and then I can get a proper photo of it folded to the way it will be for the night. You can probably tell a few things from other pieces of my work have crept into this programme, like the bastardize typeface I had done for the Give me Truth and also the ink clouds that had been used for Goodbye Pluto. This is because Debbie took a strong liking to both of the styles and felt it worked well with what she was looking for in particular for this project. Luckily enough I had that many different photos of the ink, I used one for this that looked completely different to the one I used for Goodbye Pluto. Right now I'm off to sort out This give me truth Tshirt print and try and find some more freelance jobs to keep me busy. Before I go I'll leave you with this Nine Inch Nails Track, I know I said I would post a tune everyday I like a while back and never really upheld it but here is a song I'm loving today, well to be honest I'm loving all of NINs songs today. Discipline

Give me Truth

Ok so been working on a quote I love,I'm pleased with how the type turned out but for a Tshirt print this isn't going to work just yet, afterall these are just found photos from a few books I had. Thinking of doing some illustrations to bleed into the type as well and take away the photo, gotta add a bit more of a personal touch I'm thinking, or even get off my ass and take photos myself. The Goodbye pluto Tshirts came out really well, I'm surprised they actually worked. Thinking of doing a few more styles for the guys at some point once I get the Truth T sorted.

























The modern romantics is almost finished as well, posters and flyers are up around town and have been getting a rather good response from them. The actual programme itself is nearly finished and is starting to shape up quite nicely, photos to come of the final product.

Other than that theres not much to say today, been so busy recently with training and surfing and a bit of part time work haven't really had time to sit down and mull things over. Well apart from one thing, a person I hold close to me said a lot of things that made me wonder for a while who I am deep down, kinda felt lost like Kerouac on the road, but I think I've sorted out my head now.


"I woke up as the sun was reddening; and that was the one distinct time in my life, the strangest moment of all, when I didn't know who I was — I was far away from home, haunted and tired with travel, in a cheap hotel room I'd never seen, hearing the hiss of steam outside, and the creak of the old wood of the hotel, and footsteps upstairs, and all the sad sounds, and I looked at the cracked high ceiling and really didn't know who I was for about fifteen strange seconds."
- Jack Kerouac, On the Road,
