Feast or Famine

I was just playing with this bit of a drawing after discussing the concept the other day, I don’t know if it’s entirely finished without textures and shading and there is probably a mistake or two in it… but as I was designing the whole thing looked like it could work on a board, so I logged onto facebook to procrastinate a little and first post was a board design comp on boardworld, I’m normally not a fan of asking designers to work for nothing like this but this isn’t going anywhere else so it can go there.

Moving Images of Lyttelton

Over the other side of the hill from where I live is one of the more creative parts of Christchurch, most of my time spent over there is working with Liam Hall on editing video projects or coming up with ideas for the next shoot but recently I’ve also had the cameras out there, an ep of Airtime checking out the Urban Downhill Mountain Biking with Justin Leov.

And this live shoot of the Unfaithful Ways playing the Trouble I’m In that I shot with Liam and he edited, because we could essentially, Liam is friends with Marlon the lead singer and he killed it.

Update

The Airtime video has been taken offline.

Q.C.R. Patch

I was given the chalk drawing for a basic sketch of the Quake City Rumblers logo probably a couple years ago now, its the moped gang my flat mate and a few of his buddies have but I’ve always struggled to get it into a vector the way I would like it, I don’t think this is finished but it’s getting there for a very simplified version.

Yeboi 2012 site

It’s been a bit hectic to get this site from seeing the range two weeks ago to shooting all the images, working on the site design and code, getting everything all together for the launch but it’s up now at www.yeboi.co.nz.
The idea was to go with something clean and simple without much colour so the bright colours of the products can shine through, organized in a strong two-column grid, and built on a WordPress back end with a few plugins for the cart and other pieces.

Should You Buy Lipsmack?

I did something relatively common to my life yesterday and added to my collection of wakeboard films yesterday I also did something a little less common and wrote a review, I tried to stay away from the whole this trick was good this rider did this and brought up the question of why pay for something as intangible as an iTunes file.

The article was written for NZwakeboard.com but upon seeing it published I’m not as happy as I could be with the result, the format of the site is for what is normally run, photos and videos but not for words, every word is lost in every other one, I don’t want to read it. I would like to think this site is better but not amazing. I need to tweak my design so that words are readable, I’d like to see this on an iPad as I see that as a joining point between computers and books where maybe I will find this easier to read but until then here is that article.

I just watched Lipsmack for the first time and my opinions will change if I watch it again so I’ll write this now when I have some fresh ideas and a desire to shine some light on if you to should spend the $15 for the HD iTunes download as I did, there are also the SD and renting options cheaper online, maybe a DVD that’s more and it will probably already be on the torrents if you want it free but illegally, I won’t be going into if I think this should have been a free release on vimeo, it’s not, that means it’s not an option to discuss and let just deal with what we those we can control and those are my choice to pay that much of my hard earned cash and if I think you should too?

I took down the 50mm, cranked the ISO all the way up and hand held it, shooting just cos, straight off the back of the camera an hour ago.

Inspiration

I’ve added a new page on the left, the first page of this site to show something other than my own work, it’s a tumblr and a way of keeping a bit of the inspiration I see floating around the net in one place so I can go back and find it.
