The Birthday Issue
Posted in Things I make, Things I see, October 24 2011
I’ve just been handed the shiny new issue of the onboard journal for Porter Airlines, re:porter. This being their fifth year since the airline first took to the skies, the cover features a special silver foil to complement my illustration of their beloved raccoon mascot atop his gigantic birthday cake.
New tasty calendar

Hamburg-based design studio EIGA have included my Marathon Cake in their new 2012 calendar, titled Eat! Design with Food. I just received mine in the post. It looks scrumptious.
Porter in Process
Posted in Things I see, September 19 2011
My copy of Melbourne-based design publication Process Journal, which features a case study on the branding and advertising work Winkreative did for Porter Airlines, arrived in the post this weekend. There are some nice big photos of selected spreads on their photostream online.
Jason Hindley at theprintspace
Posted in Things I love, Things I see, May 23 2011
This is a slightly belated post, having been to the private view last Thursday (May 19). Jason Hindley is a photographer based in London who is showing a lovely collection of photos taken in Japan over the last 13 years. He captures moments that we might normally dismiss as being mundane, but that recall a certain feeling of stillness, calm, warmth and familiarity (for anyone who has spent some time in Japan, at least). His photographs almost invite you to imagine yourself there, waiting at the amber light bathed in sunset, or listening to the distant dry crack of a baseball bat, the call of a crow, a truck rumbling past. Here there is a rusty old bicycle under a light blanket of fresh snow. There, a sheer pastel-coloured dress hangs in front of a window in anticipation. The 100 images on show at Familiar and Distant are available for purchase, with all proceeds going to the British Red Cross Japan Tsunami Appeal. The exhibition runs until the 3rd of June.
Bad Things That Could Happen

Tom McCaughan and This Is It have put on a great show at Jaguar Shoes a few weeks back and it’s taken me this long to put it up. If you missed the showing of their short film you can still watch it on Vimeo. The place was so packed that we had to watch it through the glass from outside. Well done guys!
