and boom goes the dynamite

So lets get a few things straight , cause i would hate to take credit for another
directors work , I only directed the intro to this video , the boys having fun and playing games on there wii aka the product placement ..two words that may be dirty to those who call themselves artists but i don't have those ideas about myself , I know i am a commercial artist so there for peddling the wares of a big company is not something I'm gonna run from also the challenge of having the whitest guy in the world and a professional wall flower like myself direct something dance related seemed like too great a challenge to pass up..

so enjoy the pillow spinning , spiral stairs running , just dance playin' inrto i directed for justice crew's latest video :)

the adventures of an in-action hero or new uses for old curtains.

I have worked with jack carty for years doing a lot of his design work

some of which are my fave things i have done and in fact my first video

clip was supposed to be with jack , making an epic space tug boat video,

but alas that never happened . So when he asked me to work on a video for

his latest catchy indie hit " she's got a boyfriend " i jumped at the chance.

The song is very direct so there was no escaping jack would serve as some form

or narrator in the clip but finding a hook proved challenging ..until i struck

upon the idea that jack saw the boyfriend as a arch nemesis something akin to

Louis dating Lex luthor ..from there it was a fun romp making our hero as home made

and pathetic as possible..i drew a lot of inspiration from Daniel clowes and

from a lot of what if questions i had asked myself over the years.

The result is was an incredibly fun video that wears its silliness on its

home made sleeve and was such a joy to shoot ..( behind the scenes pics coming soon )

flaunting my wares

Above are a few pics from the opening night of my first

full exhibition . It was a retrospective show with a dozen prints , 

3 projection screens displaying my hand drawn , poster and cd work

and a large screen playing all my clips. twas an amazing night and the free

wine helped the nerves. These photos were taken by by very own sister !
