I finished school ten years ago, summer 2003. Ten years ago today (May 20) Less Than Jake released the album Anthem. I'm not going to review it or anything, absolutely its an important album to me musically, but its also the reason I pursued a career in the creative industry at all.
Read MoreOne of the few Zeitguised projects in recent times that I didn't spend a single second working on! Congrats to the guys involved on a weird and wonderful result.
Elements of the past, the present and future of ZEITGUISED styled object mashup.
This was kind of WIP, kind of treatment at some point, that the client
never got to see. Entirely showable in all its raw beauty, because we
also got some new music for it by Michael Fakesch, and gave it a re-edit
touch for this release.
A collaboration with good friend Rob Soucy is in this free 80 page zine, along with what sounds like a whole bunch of fun stuff. Our effort is an illustrated poem (the first of many!) called 'Peter's Part' and I'll have photos soon! In the meantime, the thing is literally $0.01 so pick one up!
ONE CENT!

"We’re excited to finally present the second installment in the Sick People series. 80 pages of photography, skateboarding, stories, illustration, collage and more.
Featuring work by Doug Aldrich, Chris Bernsten, Terrence Doyle, Madison East, Alexis Gross, Blair Kemp, Caroline Levasseur, Reggie McCafferty, Nelson Offley, Kelsey Parker, Adam Rossiter, Jesse Sanes, Nick Sethi, Rob Soucy, and Sammy Winston.
ps. Reggie Mccafferty who printed these up is in a really great punk rock band, who are giving free downloads of their record. If you like old hardcore you'll love it, if not then don't CLICK HERE TO LISTEN.
In 2008 during my second year of my foundation degree in graphic design, I wound up landing a decent project for a band.
Read MoreThere's a tendency that the now obligatory 'making of' video is usually way more interesting and entertaining than the final product.
Read MoreI recently helped out my good friend Rob Soucy with a couple of shots for the new Alkaline Trio video. My contribution was absolutely minimal, but I doubt Milla Jovovich is going to grace my After Effects interface again any time soon!
So check out the new record, and as always check out Rob's work. One of the most talented friends I have, lots of collaborations planned this year with him.
I just received another in the series of Paper+Plastick toys. This time my old 3D design has had a makeover by Jonathon Dubose of Texas, in the form of solid poured resin. There are a ton of variations, and they all look delicious (check out more amazing images on his Instagram).
The first round of /20 large skulls in black and white marble sold out almost instantly but keep an eye out for more throughout the year coupled with some special Paper + Plastick record releases.
A few new & original toys are also in the works for later this year!
HMV closed in the UK this week, for better or worse, but it doesn't mean people stopped buying music...

This was long over due, I won't pretend this took months of planning and development... its a Squarespace 6 template with hardly any trickery that I threw together over christmas with mince pies balanced on my wacom. However, there is a new reel and a bunch of new projects from last year. I even consolidated some pretty old case studies with the intention of adding more for some upcoming work.
2012 was pretty quiet apart from moving house/country. I now officially live in Berlin, and spend a large amount of time at the Zeitguised studio. This year I'm already planning a lot more collaborations with friends outside of commercial work to keep myself a well rounded member of society!
I also noticed while putting the new site together, that as well as not updating my reel for nearly 3 years, I didn't post anything on my blog during 2012 until the end of December. So watch this space...
