shire calling

some more work from the shire which is nice, want to break into the Oxford scene seeing as it’s my hometown, and is lacking in some nice design except for peskett, who seems to be grabbing most the jobs.

here’s a b&w single sided flyer for reggae night at the Cellar, hopefully more work to come now i know promoter.

time in Bristol almost up as well, degree show tomorrow, results next week, home again next friday. need to sort life out.

sunday

been a week or so, finished all work final show in 5 days, got no money, got to move out, find a new house and sort my life out.
had a nice little influx of work in the past 3 days though, just waiting for replies from various people, still chasing up people for payments aswell, apart from that bo-diddly-jangles.

Dub Politics

flyer for dub politics – dubstep night in oxford. 1 day left until degree hand in. gonna finish my module file, or start my module file. proposal and evalution then its in gods hands.

dissertation and tutorial

at uni, picked up my dissertation, got a 3rd. sounds bad was very relieved and not to bothered as long as i passed, apparently they take your best mark over the 2 years anyway which was a 2-1, dunno if thats right, sceptical source. tutorial went alright though, tutor said i will pass the course, good stuff off the printers now.

all nighter

it’s just gone 5am in the morning, trying to stay awake doing work, got final hand in for degree in less than a week, and realised i should really start finishing all my work, last few months have been a bit of a slow rubber-neckin train wreck, reckon i’ll pass though. so should all be good. will find out in a month. get dissertation mark back tomorrow though.
here’s a pic of me looking fucking tired,

another mixer….

feel like i’m getting a bit mixer heavy, but i just quite like the way they look on a page; with this image i’ve replaced all the text (hi,low, channel 1 etc) with words such as happiness, joy and delight, so as you’re mixing your happiness levels go up, it’s gonna be a poster but may try it as a screenprint, and maybe even a t-shirt.

also a bit of shamless self promotion, but if you’re on facebook and like my work please join my group >>>here<<< i get quite a bit of work through facebook but the more members i have the higher up i’ll appear when you search for designers, spread the love.

reign of terror is over

i’ve put ralph back in his box, his maverick renegade attitude was unnerving me

dear god…

this is what is currently on my tv screen,  there are people talking about politicians expenses, swine flu, earthquakes and wars. i’m slightly more worried about the state of mankind when this kind of thing is on primetime tv, as karl pilkington says “we’re going backwards”.  i don’t even know if they explained the relevence of the clown costumes.

granted iwas a bit of a telly fiend, but i’ve cut out virtually all crap from my tv diet, neighbours, hollyoaks, all that T4 crap, unfortunately my mum is going the other way incorperating any tv show based around the emergency services,(holby, casualty, the bill, CSI, law and order)

nonce-sense

tuesday
12th may
2.55pm

waiting for some inspiration to slap me in the face. also getting slightly frustrated at being owed money for a few months. been shafted twice before, the first time i just hassled the guy, then threatened to find out where he lives and personally collect the money, not in a tony montana type way, but just explaining it would be embarrassing for him if i had to turn up at his door and ask for the money which seemed to work. with the other guy i was told that i’d probably get shafted halfway through the design, did the whole design whilst waiting for a train though, so i didn’t really feel as bothered.
the money i’m trying to collect at the moment though is from another continent which makes the whole process slightly more tricky, just gonna keep hassling i reckon.

this is just one of the woes of being a small time designer. from now on i think i may start protecting myself a bit more, properly making invoices and asking for deposits for the bigger projects.
also been looking through a few other blogs and seeing people actually write huge paragraphs about “stuff” so think i may start doing that when i have something interesting to say, like this riveting entry.
or it’s just a good way to avoid work
here’s a photo of me today. just so you blogatronics can see what i look like, don’t think i actually have a proper profile pic

follow up to flyer

just a follow to the flyer i put u a few weeks ago for the nu-clear sounds night of the skull, (can see if you scroll down a bit).

here’s the back and the final front they used, i prefered the other one personally, had a bit more to it, but this still looked quite nice once it had gone to  print.
