Oh noes here we goes.
Despite being a retired graphic designer, last week I got going on a new graphic design job to help a mate out. The week started out great! I was happy, client/mate was happy, then client sent my work to his marketing agency for feedback (design by committee) and that’s when shit started to fall apart.
Got my Artist Guitars Design hat on today. Just found Artist on Instagram, love the feed!
Thought I’d have a play on some “square” format images with inspirational quotes which I think would look good on their Instagram feed if they were posted one a week.
I hate the current Artist Guitars logo so I thought I’d have a play. Not a paid gig! Just designing for the fun of it (I do miss it sometimes!).
Last week I did a little review of the China made TC59 T-Style guitar by Australian company Artist Guitars on ZEN Garage Blog. Turns out a guy who’s been working at Artist Guitars for the past 10 years has been a fan of ZEN Garage for the past 10 years (small world!), he found my review and reached out to see if there was anything they could do regarding the issues I was having with my TC59.
That’s how you do business!
I’ve since been in touch and invited to drop by the Artist Guitars showroom in St. Peters and also invited to join the Artist Guitars Designers group where Artist Guitars collect feedback from a small group of guitarists which helps them shape their future guitar ranges (again, this is good business!).
Transparent, attentive, reactionary and thankful. I get nothing but good vibes from Artist Guitars as a company. I’ll be sure to bring a camera and take some snaps if I do drop past their showroom, and I’m looking forward to seeing what this group is all about too.
Had some fun making these wallpaper designs for the Destiny 2 clan I’m a part of.

RIP.
All good again!
Today I replaced the seat pan on my 20+ year old Herman Miller Aeron Chair. What started out as a small rip eventually became a huge RIP. The seat pan wasn’t cheap at $300, but the Aeron is quite simply the best office chair in the world and I’m so glad I invested in one more than 20 years ago when I first started my design business. Should be good for another 20 years I hope!
