Fender = gone

Posted 12 days ago

I received a ‘your work’s been removed’ email earlier on, as Fender corporation sent RB a letter about copyright infringement on a number of works that RB obviously had to jump upon.

The design in question was a challenge entry some time ago involving a guitar going into a mincing machine (that actually did quite well) – but I hadn’t sold any – so hey..

Just a warning to others (and to …

Design an official T-Shirt of the LA Marathon

Posted 26 days ago

Here’s a pretty cool opportunity on 99 designs to create a design that could become an official LA Marathon t-shirt. Not masses of time left, but only 44 entries right now, so definitely a great challenge if you put in a bit of research on the brief. Might give it a shot…

Posted about 1 month ago

Just thought I’d reflect (as one does at the end of the year) on what floated my boat in 2009. To all the artists – you rock! I’ll try and write a bit more about my favourites in 2010.

Happy New Year!

Sea Shepherd

Posted 3 months ago

I had the pleasure to take my first trip to Hobart earlier this week (a quick trip for our wedding anniversary). As we got to the hotel we noticed a familiar name outside our window.

After going for a closer look we were actually standing next to the “Steve Irwin” – the Sea Shepherd ship t…

First Feature

Posted 4 months ago

It seems there are some events that require obligatory journal entries, so apologies in advance. I warned you with the title. :)

I woke up this morning to see I’d been featured for the first time. Now for a lot of the best designers on RB it’s the norm for most of their work to get featured, but this is something of a milestone for me.

Pop quiz – Can you guess which one?

Childrens books aren't just for children - The lost thing by Shaun Tan

Posted 4 months ago

My wife bought a book for our girls the other day, but explained it was ‘actually’ for me. I was a little puzzled until I saw the cover, and it became clear.
