Banned off Facebook for 30 Days

faceboob
Fuck you Mark Zuckerberg.

I’m slowly but surely getting over being banned off Facebook for 30 days (thanks to fuckers reporting my Australia Day photos). I don’t use email, and use messenger instead so communication has been FUCKED for me for the past week. I can see people’s messages, but can’t reply. I can’t make a post on my page to say I’ve been banned for 30 days. End of the day I only have myself to blame for putting a few too many eggs in the social media basket!

Hand made with love by Attitude Supply in Italy.

Our ZEN Track Day Duffle Bags have landed from Italy! This has been years in the making, and it’s our first real product, real as in designed (IE: we didn’t just slap a ZEN logo on a bag, we designed this ground up!). It’s our new direction going forwards!

I’ve only made 50 of them and will keep 10 and sell the other 40 in the shop. The quality is so fucking unreal. I’m so stoked!

We’e priced these way under the usual 100% markup as we’d rather people rock them1 Find these bags in the shop!

Framing is everything.

Girls; I’m shooting again this year and I’ll shoot you a shitload better than guys with 3 times more instagram followers than I have.

I see SO many beautiful girls with HORRIBLE photos that show off nothing but bad framing, and well, framing is everything… some of these girls have gotten to 25k+ followers in a year… that’s a HUGE following (of guys who want to marry you).

Photographers: You can’t fake framing. You might get a billion likes on a photo of an ass, or tits, but you’d be kidding yourself if you take that as taking a good shot. I need to do a podcast/tutorial on framing to share. Framing is everything! Will do ASAP.

Final TTWG logo design I’ve been working on with my current design junior Louis Queenin for Dino Dalle Carbonare’s upcoming channel ‘Through The White Glasses’.

Would look really nice on a business card design me thinks!

RAIJIN FUJIN

I’ve been having a blast working on RAIJIN FUJIN, an upcoming Japanese hobby shop. It’s awesome how shit comes together when you’re having fun! 100+ followers on the Instagram account already, and plenty of interest in general.

I’m super psyched to be travelling to Japan with these guys next week to help them buy goods for the store. It’s honestly the dream job!!! I get flown to Japan to go toy shopping!!!!

I have a pretty good idea what toys to bring over, but if anyone’s after anything specific let me know. Anything from figurines, car hobby kits, cosplay, sweets and snacks etc.

PS. I’ll be contributing to their Instagram account along side the 2 Japanese kids who will one day run the store, and of-course the shop owner too (their Dad!). Please follow: https://www.instagram.com/raijinfujinau/

2017 WTAC T-Shirt

wtac_tshirt

GOOD NEWS!

This World Time Attack Challenge logotype I designed a little while back has been approved! It’s legit going to be one of the WTAC T-Shirts available this year at the show!

PS: I’ve been tasked with putting together a team of Zen Babes to wear these new T’s at WTAC this year, so girls if you’re free October 13-14 let me know (paid gig of-course!).

PPS: Massive massive props to Ian Baker and team for taking a risk on me. I truly appreciate the opportunity. I understand in this day and age it’s nearly impossible to do shit for the love without compromise. Leaving the location, dates, sponsor logos, checkered flags and cars off this T-Shirt design was never going to be easy, but hey some shit is worth fighting for!!!

Logo mockups for RAIJIN FUJIN. I’ve taken inspiration from Japanese Family Crests, and have pretty much designed a family crest for my client’s kids Raijin/God of Lightning and Fujin/God of Wind.

My client surprised me with a ticket to Japan NEXT WEEK! I’ll be flying with these guys to buy stock for the new shop! More on that later!

Work

7142619_orig

Working on logos for a couple of cool jobs as of this week. One is for Dino Dalle Carbonare of Speedhunters who has a new YouTube channel that needs branding (check: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEAMJR1e79rKTjoMuRWuMwg/videos), the other is for a new toy shop opening up soon in Kensington Sydney which will focus on Japanese stuff. It’s going to be called RAIJIN FUJIN (God of Lightning and God of Wind), both names connected to the 2 cool half Jappo kids of the soon to be store owner (so rad!).

Going to be hard to avoid not using glasses in Dino’s design. RAIJIN FUJIN is imagery rich. There’s a well used symbol for Raijin, but none for Fujin which sets me back a little, but incorporating wind/lightning in the logo should be the go!

Late last year I flew to Las Vegas to cover SEMA for Toyo. I took a photo of the Old & New Japan 911 and David from Import Bible Canada has turned it into an illustration, and now a sticker design. They look great! Find them in the Import Bible shop: https://importbible.com/
