Field Trip Poster.
Whoo hoo. We’re doing it again, this time in Sydney! Like the bastard child of an outdoor music festival and a live cooking demonstration, each presenter will be performing a unique ‘act’ which will reveal the creative process from start to finish.
Melbourne sold out last time, hoping the same for dour Sydney show! Please do come along (and help me spread the word!). For more info, visit: http://thefieldtrip.com.au/
Care package from Monster Children. Love what these guys do!
This morning I was invited to discuss the industry and web/digital design issues at Shillington College.
The meeting focussed on the industry’s current state, expectations of junior graphic designers as well as content that they should be teaching students. There was a group of us, a mixture of teachers and industry representatives which made for some great chatter, and lots of great opinions as well as ideas.
Yesterday I had the opportunity (thanks to Corrie!) to speak to some ‘soon to be graduating’ Shillington College Design Students. I’ve not done a Shillos talk in years, was a little nervous (always am before a talk) but I absolutely loved it and got so much out of it myself (I hope the students got a lot out of my talk as well!).
I find talks a great way to take a step outside of myself to see where I’ve come from and where I’m at right now. I spoke for about an hour but could easily have gone on and on for many more haha. Be sure to visit: http://www.shillingtoncollege.com.au
PS: No photos because I forgot my camera! :(
Finally got off my bum and got these T’s printed. Initially I was using Redbubble, a print on demand service. Whilst they print on American Apparel T’s the print itself was crap (digital printing). Screen Printing > Digital Printing any day. Find them (and a lot more new goodies) in the Zen online shop: http://zengarage.com.au/shop

Some of my new designs got delivered today. Looks like this is the stuff I’ll be wearing for a few months from now on! Like uniform, every day. Hehe :)
Gearing up for ALL STARS this month @ Motorex! It’s going to be awesome. I’ve just launched this new site, but facebook is where it’s at!
Aus Infront Presents: Movement at the Apple Store Sydney.
Last night’s Infront Presents at the Apple Store Sydney was a little quiet. Blame it on the rain, or more likely that State of Origin was on, massive shame as I think it was the best one we’ve done so far.
Was great to catch up (albeit briefly) with my mate Ash who’s killing it right now. He’s just directed the Olympics advert you’re seeing on TV at the moment, and for those who missed last night, be sure to watch his short film: Never Extinguish.
Narada and I packing all the APA books into padded bags.
Gotta love IKEA bags. Each book is 800g, we had too many books for 2 bags!
We got stung HARD at the post office! HARD! :(
APA books FINALLY got sent out today. My hand got so cramped up writing addresses, then filling out declaration forms for each and every parcel to go overseas, reminded me of being back in high school doing the HSC!
We’ve got quite a few books left over, so we’ll be selling them to try to re-coup our massive loss (we paid out of our own pockets for printing and shipping). If you’re curious, you can view the entries here: http://automotivephotographyawards.com
Mock-up.
JDMyard are having their 10th Anniversary soon and Zi’s asked me (nicely) to mock up a design for some stickers and T’s. I’ve always wanted to use the hipster cross on something!
