I’ve been in the zone working on the new Threesome web site and also our Instagram. I’ve torn it all down and put it all back together again! We’re using Squarespace now for the site, and I’m keeping the Instagram work focussed.

And Daniel Karjadi in da house!
Deluxe goodness.
Our Creative Mondays at Threesome are a thing! This Monday we shot Chris’ kids in the studio, and also dragged Illustrator/Artist Audrey Alim of Find Auna and Videographer Extraordinaire Daniel Karjadi in for a meet and shoot.
Also, no Creative Mondays are complete without a good meal! We dropped in to our favourite local Japanese restaurant Kokoroya.

Had a lot of fun designing a logo for Nathan Kumar. Liked the first (top 2) designs, but went next level with the “bunch of triangles” logo. I like pushing letters, but this one’s pushed pretty damn far as the entire logotype is a negative space logo. We’ve not nailed colours down yet, but you can see a Mondrian inspired colour scheme which shows how flexible the triangles are. The logo at the very bottom spells it out, but I think the NKR works best alone.
We’ve still got to work on a mascot design for Nathan “The Black Mamba” Kumar. That’s to go on the back of his helmet! More updates soon!
A couple more logo concepts for Leslie Lau’s #FINDINGSPACE.
I really love the imperfect circle concept. For these I was inspired by American minimalist Artist Robert Mangold (born October 12, 1937).

Love a good collab! Flyer design for Kristi’s Art Event.
We (Threesome) had an awesome meeting today with Domenic Ciccio of motorvated. We’ll be designing his new logo, and cards!

Last Sunday I was invited to speak at Ted’s World Of Imaging as part of a Fuji X Aus panel discussion on entrepreneurship.
First up on the stage was Warwick from Fuji who ran the audience (which was around 60 or so people, small but nice!) through features of the new Fuji GFX 100. 100 megapixels… I’m sure gear heads in the crowd might have been frothing at the specs, but I’m no gear head and I was chomping at the bit by the end of Warwick’s presentation for Nick Turner to get up and do his thang!
And what a thing of beauty Nick’s presentation was. He had half an hour to go through his creative process. I was so impressed with his talk that I’m going to do my best to get him in front of design students in future to do the exact same talk. They need to hear what he has to say! In fact, any creative out there, whether just starting out or seasoned professional, would have gotten a lot out of his slick talk. Sincerely. I loved it. I even think he should make a book out of it.
Next up was the entrepreneurship segment. I was on the panel with Tina Lee, founder of No More Ugly camera bags (check out her bags, they’re amazing! Especially love the all black one), Nick and Sydney based Photographer Kevin Case of MainFocus Photography.
Charlie Blevins, the MC did an awesome job in keeping the conversation flowing. We discussed how we developed the concept for our businesses, how we advertise our businesses, tips for others starting out, other hats we wear in life and what we look for in quality connections. I said nearly everything I wanted to say, and then some.
After the panel discussion we all headed to the QVB for a Photo Walk. Rad! The theme was timeless. You can see the entries here.
Ultimately I had an awesome time and it felt really fucking good to be on the stage once more.

A lot goes into making something right and sharing is caring, so if you’re interested in my creative process, check out this feature on the 2019 WTAC Keiichi Tsuchiya Drift King T-Shirt which I designed: http://www.zengarage.com.au/2019/06/keiichi-tsuchiya-drift-king-t-shirt-design-for-wtac-2019/
“Being diagnosed with cancer was the best thing that’s ever happened to me”
I recently spent some time with Leslie Lau. I’ve known Leslie and his brother Jonnie from the car scene for years. Both car guys, both buff AF, but when Leslie called out for help with a new venture I had no idea what to expect.
This buff guy had lost all his muscles, grown his hair out long, had round spectacles and looked more ZEN master than the young car guy I remembered.
Within the first 10 minutes he let me know that he was diagnosed with cancer a few years back, and that it changed his life for the better.
We spent the good part of 4 hours talking real talk. No facades, no time for fake. We had a heart to heart, something I value SO much. In this short time with Leslie I got to know the guy, for real. We spoke about everything. We agreed on everything.
He’s on his way to start a community to help others. I’m in, and after talking with Christophe and Dianne, Threesome is in. Baby steps, but I’ve got a really good feeling about this new platform Leslie is working on and can’t wait for him to share more with everyone!
