The Paper Kites - A Maker Of My Time (Official Music Video)



This was such a fun experience shooting and working on this clip . For a long while i have been the biggest fan of the paper kites and we have tried to do a video in the past but to no avail , so when this was offered I jumped at the chance. It was also a very strong collaboration between us which made it feel more personal for all.

Shot in the outskirts of Mildura in regional Victoria during its busiest weekend of the year ( the vanilla slice festival ) we shot this one take 15 - 20 times and filming in a varying array of light . In the end we all fell in love with this take which has such a joyful performance by Dzwairo Tendai.

All involved , I feel , have a special connection to this clip , our hope is that it transfers to the audience.

below are some BTS snaps taken by me.






new poster work



Above is the tour poster that ties in directly with the Ep art I designed for the band , except i really pushed the war propaganda side of this with this ( me thinks it be inspired by all the captain america i have been watching ) 


Next is the reworking of the Rainbow Unicorn poster for conception day conception day is a pretty big thing in the drinking calender for sydneys youth , so it will no doubt get a large yet wobbly audience. 


The is a poster I'm very happy with..i was playing with the idea of the most bizarre lunar eclipse you could think of and the idea of a rare phase of the moon that takes the shape of a rabbit wall shadow puppet struck me..( i'm also very happy with the colouring i did on this poster 


Last but not least the Patrick james tour poster inspired by the work of MC ESCHER .I'm a big fan of his work so it was nice to finally tie it into something.. so these are just a few of the posters i have been working on.. Been a busy boy of late , I have..must remember to see daylight once in a while.

I get by with a little Elk from my friends

I recently did a design for a stamp for great sydney musician Leroy Lee , it was a great learning process and something very new so i started with the idea of having it much like an old stamp mixed with old american currency ( below )



but these results didnt really gel well with the maker of the stamps were only a certain level of line detail can be achieved ... the final result is below as well as some pics from leroys hand made production line of his EP



hey diddle diddle..


The above is an image created for a music night , almost like a logo but with a little more personality ..our little feline fella thats not just content with the fiddle ( thats pretty much where the idea came from , what if the cat played more than just a fiddle )will be applied to many number of posters and promotions for the night.. he currently being animated for little looping " in venue " ads
