jew-fro no more

just attacked my fro with a pair of scissors, here’s some pics of me with the fro in full jewish flow. and one without. and one as a skinhead, you can tell i’m having a bored day today. dub politics tonight though. arrrr yessir. should be a gooodun

t-shirt, done, dusted, printed

this post should be up properly now, just to say thanks to everyone who had a vote for my t-shirt, it got into the top 10 which means its gone to print, now all you have to do is buy it! can check it out at www.swishswosh.com. it’s called The Raver, if you like it please go and buy it, mainly because it means i get money in my pocket, also good promo for me. nothing would make me happier than seeing someone actually wearing it. also already submitted my next one, so that should be up soon.

been working hard recently as always gonna stick some new work up in  a bit.

back from bestival…

back from bestival yesterday, slept for a good 18 hours. London Elektricity and Carl Cox absolutely smashed it. seasick steve was very good as well. will shove up some pictures of our awesome fancy dress as space wizards.

need to get back to the real world and finish up all my work. no rest for the wicked

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)

nothings happening

sitting here, trying to figure out what my final major project what it’s about and what i should do. but my brain is dead. the only thing i can come up with is making posters about how bollocks this whole process is. (phone call) football and music is the new idea, good excuse to see spurs aswell.

grizzly bears

got some more work from the big windy garden apple state (america), it’s t-shirt design for the synth stylings of “that old grizzly bear” can check out the music here: http://www.myspace.com/thatoldgrizzlybear

some designs almost finished just gotta see what they think, but will be up soon.

twitter this mofo having a rant

twitter is just something else to distract me on the internet, after facebook, hotmail, myspace and this blog, but i’ve joined it anyway cause  i’m a sucker for this crap. if you want to hear my angry irrelevant musings have a look for me, or talk to me when i’m in a bad mood such as yesterday.

just when i thought i had some good ideas for my final major project in uni, i was shot down once again, my continuing idea to just produce some real nice posters that can be will be appreciated simply as a nice image was not recieved too well, doesn’t help that i turn into some kind of simpleton clam when i try and explain my ideas. the problem is, is if i did open my pie-hole far enough to construct a cohesive sentence, it may have been:

“FUCK OFF WITH YOUR CONCEPTUAL GRAPHICS PRETENTIOUS BULLSHIT CRAP, IF I WANTED TO WORK LIKE THAT I’D CUT OFF MY BALLS AND STAPLE THEM TO A RADIATOR”

ironically i’d need some balls to say that in the first place. but i have a cunning plan to ignore what they say and do what i want. we’ll see how it goes, 

also scraped  a 2-2 on the module i thought i was gonna fail, so that was a bonus. still confidence in the course has gone back to sweet fuck all. and apologies for the amount of swearing but helps convey how pissed off i actually am, i say apologies but to be honest couldn’t really give a shit.

here’s a picture from quite a few years ago, but it sums up how i feel

 

snow, dissertations and tonsillitis

been a funny last few days, this isn’t really design related just a little update, had to finish my dissertation for thursday, had still got to do 3000 words or so, but got ill on tuesday which i thought was flu but turned out to be tonsillitis, which i’ve never had before but turned out to be a bitch like flu jus worse. havn’t been properly ill in a few years so forgot how shit it actually was, still had a couple of thousand words to do aswell but brain couldn’t really face it. then it snowed all night, so uni was closed so i had another day to do the dissertation, still didn’t get it done though as was still feeling awful and sleeping most the day and watching sopranos when i was awake which i found far more constructive. luckily god was smiling down on me and made it snow for a good 12 hours forcing the uni to close again so now i go the weekend to do it, and feeling better now except a killer sore throat. though spurs vs arsenal is on sunday lunch so sundays probably a write-off aswell. 

anyway here’s some photos of a bit of fun in the snow, may do an illustration of a snowman aswell, its inspired me.

logo in action

just a follow up to the logo i did for zacktaylor.ca, here’s it is on the wall of the red carpet and on the t-shirt. nice to see it in it’s actual place, have no idea who these people are though, cept zack taylor and dj loli, if you know leave a comment and let me know who they are so i can put a name to a face.
