Website update

I recently updated my website with a few more recent pieces of work, as well as some old stuff. These are now part of my printed portfolio.

Music Is Not A CD: Violent Dreams

During my last year at WSA we were set a brief by design collective JULIA called 'Music Is Not A CD'. We had to think of ways to reinvent music promotion, i.e. not just designing an album cover. I chose to make a book based on Crystal Castles' latest album and called it 'Violent Dreams'. I let myself be inspired by the feel and atmosphere of the music, and decided to do some research into witchcraft to feed my creative process. I got the book professionally printed at the end of the project. Here are a few photos of some of the pages, as well as the printed version:

Print Matters

I thought I'd do a post about this event even though it happened ages ago. I never got round to mentioning it on here. Print Matters was an exhibition of artist's books, publications and zines at the Hartley Library in Southampton that me and the rest of the members of Sauce Collective were lucky to be a part of. A selection of our individual zines, as well as a few zines we'd collaborated on, were featured in the show. There was even a bit written about us in the catalog, which was pretty ace. They had also photocopied some of the pages from our zines onto pink and blue paper and stuck them up on the wall, which I thought looked quite cool. Here are some pictures from the show, taken by Joshua Fletcher: 

Zeene IV: Dogs

So this evening I have decided to have a major catch up session and blog about all the things that I didn't have time to whilst still at University. Now that I have graduated I actually have time to sit down and post some pictures on here. My first post is about a zine that I contributed to a good few months ago: Zeene IV: Dogs. The guys at Zeene asked if anyone would like to draw some dogs for their next zine on twitter, and I replied that I would be up for the task. I believe they asked Kanye West as well, but he didn't want to draw any dogs unfortunately. I wonder how much the price of the zine would have gone up if he had actually drawn a dog for it... Anyway, the guys were really sweet and sent me the 3 back issues of Zeene, as well as a few of the issue which I had contributed to, in the post. Here are some pictures of it:

If you would like to buy the zine, or any of the back issues of Zeene you can visit the online shop here. They are only £1.50 each.

A question sheet, which I filled out a few weeks later was also featured on the Zeene blog, which you can find here. There are also question sheets filled out by the great Alex Zamora (Fever Zine) and the guys from Zineswap on there!

I myself prefer my New Zealand eggs for breakfast.
