My very own website. Still undecided about the future of this page at blogspot. Anyhow check it out for more (new) adventures.

Experiment Set 1

2008-05-16T05:52:00.000-07:00

Latterly I have been experimenting with the idea that the Internet is not a window into another space, but rather a mirror. The Internet is simply another method to view yourself and gain a deeper understanding of your character.

Fig. 1. The Foreign Body. Applicating of the self.

Fig. 2. Watching Myself. The medium always has its way with the reflection.

Fig. 3. What the Eye Sees. Gaining context from the reflection.

Fig. 4. Images of Myself. The idea of representation without ones self. Inspired by Denny Backhaus’ Wohnen photograph series.

Fig. 5. Death in Mirrors. The representation of the representation of the representation leads to the loss of ones self. Whoops, bit of a downer [but it looks great].

All of these are simply experiments and some will be built upon at a later date. Yes.

The Delightful Infection

2008-05-12T02:56:00.000-07:00

10” record sleeve designs of a pseudo compilation for an university assignment. Rotating the inner sleeve and slipping it inside the outer sleeve reveals the 12 different cover possibilities. Also the inner sleeve can be folded in numerous ways, allowing different visual combos. Hazzah.

The Nameless Place

2008-04-24T01:23:00.000-07:00

Sole examination of strawberry face and what lies behind the mask.

Unfamiliar Context

2008-04-23T19:25:00.000-07:00

First experiment at bringing two-dimensional collage into the third dimension. Based on the idea of representing oneself through the use of visual images, and then letting it grow into its own patarverse. René Magritte and Alfred Jarry are the key influences for the train of thought this is running down. A mock-up of what’s to come.

I am Drugs

2008-03-13T05:16:00.000-07:00

Inspired by the Salvador Dalí quote “I don't do drugs, I am drugs.” This wee piece is all about the mind and how the craziest things ever conceivable have come from it. It’s a parade for imagination that isn’t shy of running down the often-overlooked side alleys scattered about.

Mix Tape Mix Tape

2008-03-05T04:01:00.000-08:00

Brand new double mix tape. Unnamed but sounds a bit like: Bang, bark, beep, boom, bring, bubble, buzz, cackle, clang, clap, clash, clatter, click, cough, fizz, gasp, howl, hum, miaow, moan, mumble, ping, pop, purr, rip, rumble, rustle, slap, splash, splosh, twang, whirr, whoosh.

Colour Formal Invite

2008-03-02T19:32:00.000-08:00

Flyer for a highly secretive party. One that is shrouded in so much candyfloss that all the details had to be altered for it to be published on this site. If you manage to come across one containing the correct details cherish it like a tasty cake.

Anything Everywhere

2008-02-22T21:05:00.000-08:00

First book to be published by Futureworld. Inspired by Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra and the general goings on of latterly. It is a rather cryptic story and one that has to be read through the mediums of text & image. Hand bound with embossed cover. 1 copy produced.

Hello Platforms

2008-02-14T04:05:00.000-08:00

Uncompleted view of an other galaxy overloaded with jungles, future cities, below ground storage and underwater levels. Even though each plane is separated by their imagery they are bound with the same core geometry. Based on a hand drawn grid and old memories.

JRC Set

2008-02-02T18:43:00.000-08:00

High roller personalized playing cards with client directed characters. Top dollar.

Awesome

2008-01-13T20:42:00.000-08:00

Clearly it is exciting when days are awesome.

A Thought for the Mind

2008-01-12T15:26:00.000-08:00

First attempt at willing ones self into existence, which this time involved telling the most splendid chemistry joke to ever of been conceived.

Journey into the Heart

2008-01-12T15:21:00.000-08:00

One of the greatest adventures of all time, into the undiscovered abyss of the inner city. What lies ahead is nameless and an endless cycle of searching, finding & engaging will take place. With company comes conversation, and this is a key ingredient to wade though these mysterious new elements.

Experiment of Light

2008-01-12T15:12:00.000-08:00

Test to see what the result is of rendering the effect of light on an object.

8-bit Xmas

2007-12-22T22:24:00.000-08:00

Christmas card created for First Floor Publishing to be sent to their friends and close ones. Look and see the prediction for what’s in store for us, blue skies on the virtual horizon as far as the eye can see.

Philosophia

2007-12-22T02:26:00.000-08:00

The most inquisitive and radical of the little ponies, Philosophia is renowned for her critiques of every aspect of the ponies’ lives. Gaining her powers from the woodcut of Friedrich Nietzsche imprinted into her rear flank, she also comes fully equipped with the CMYK specs of her appearance.

The Geometry of Behaviour

2007-12-21T12:16:00.000-08:00

Joint study of the brain and social behaviour patterns. This image only shows phase 1. It is now in the process of travelling around the world where four other colleagues will work on it before the analysis is completed.

Cocaine Computer

2007-12-21T03:51:00.000-08:00

A-class computers are up there with A-class drugs when it comes to the experiences to be had, and when combined they create the highest form of being [clearly seen by this mans data input]. A celebratory print of this has been successfully made. Furthermore this print has then been applied to a piece of cotton suitable for everyday exposure.

An Optical Display of Travel

2007-12-19T00:49:00.000-08:00

The journey that is life (and a headache for the brain).

Board in the Cities

2007-12-18T22:39:00.000-08:00

The first major advancement of the new dawn, Futureworlds new adornments for the adventure seeking user. A natural (and superior) advancement from the letterpress cast metal sort commonly seen attached to people. Makes life better in general. Sadly RAD was invisiblelized during a street battle.

Complete

2007-12-18T03:35:00.000-08:00

Tetris 2019

A Pleasant Stroll Down the Street

2007-12-17T12:21:00.000-08:00

A glimpse into the future with references to the past.

Futureworld Intro

2007-12-17T01:23:00.001-08:00

If Futureworld was a television show [on in the wee hours of a Tuesday night/morning] then this would be the base of the introduction sequence.

Miscal Emitting From the Skull

2007-12-16T23:04:00.000-08:00

The loveable character that is Miscal taking a wee stroll in the park. No doubt thinking deeply about an interesting aspect of life [like when people mess up neatly aligned piles of meat, with no consideration for the person who has to realign them].

Ultimate Escapism

2007-12-16T21:50:00.000-08:00

Where Tetris meets suburbia.

The Great Crusade

2007-12-16T21:39:00.000-08:00

Space is awesome. Like a million hotdogs. This is simply a celebration of it. For the celebrity hunters out there try and spot the royal families getting in amongst it, there’s a few to find. And for all you more kinky people, try finding the nudity that snuck in there.

The Count's Reflection

2007-12-16T20:32:00.000-08:00

An incredibly terrible/brilliant pun. It is simply the beloved Count reflecting on his life’s greatest achievement [the power to pass the knowledge of counting onto others], however how can this be true, since the Count is a vampire and vampires have no reflection. The mind boggles with this one.
