trailer trash

Here is the two minute teaser trailer to the doco
Byron and I filmed earlier this year on the making of
Boy and bears first album , Moonfire.

enjoy

lets go fly a kite...

so the Private Life is Renee Cassar's new project
its a fun mixture of pop rock and electro ..originally
she had something else in mind but being the over achieving
little sod i am i mocked up this hand painted reworking of 50's
childhood...and the new logo which was intended to be like a broken
old letter press mixed with an old crime photo...

I gather no moss...

..cause I was in rolling stone
( well my b&b studio pic was)

what kind of mickey mouse operation is this!

A very good friend of mine recently
introduced me to the work of Jerod Gibson
and if you know his work you can see the influence
on this poster right here..short story is i got asked
to do a poster for a cover of Disney songs night during
the fringe festival . The brief was something Disney but
not enough to get us sued...the result was this use of shapes
and type in a very cheeky way

ripped off and passing out

heres the access all areas pass for boy
and bears latest sold out tour...this little
fella was in high demand..

pens and pencils into blood to gold

this is a bit " last year" but going through some
of my old files i stumbled upon this animatic i did
for blood to gold and was pretty surprised by how
close i actually got it ...

feeding time!

after months of production and countless teases
my video for boy and bears epic first album single
feeding line is up...enjoy the fruits of my very
long labour

psst

here's a teaser image for an upcoming video
Byron and I shot in Queensland recently for the
very sweet and very amazing charlie mayfair..im
very excited about this one because it marks a massive
shift in my usual video style..gone is the whimsy and the
playfulness and this one centers more on atmosphere and
very heavily on emotion..im very keen to show it off in a few
weeks from now..

this is an image i have been holding on to for
tin sparrow for a while..contacted over a year ago
to do some EP art work i worked a variation of this image
up for them..but as the band have done the smart thing and
taken their time making their EP as great as it can be
its been gathering dust for a while..but im very happy to
say this amazing sydney band is about to release their debut
EP and this surreal , semi biblical image can be unveiled ..

sneak peek-a-boo

so after months of work on this my latest
boy and bear video for feeding line premiered
on triple j's website on friday..which was very
exciting having them show the first look at it..
it goes online on the youtubes and itunes tomorrow
but i decided to find my john west moments from the
clip and put up some stills from it..this was such
a big part of my life this year..it feels really
good to have it out there and not in my head




















this concept is one i have kept for a few years now
like a little trump card up my sleeve so i am so happy
to have it attached to this band and this song..i feel like
it finally found the right house...

in the immortal words of enya...

sail away sail away sail away....
so for some reason i got hung up on the
idea or pun of wavey hair and while looking
through pics of 20's silent actress' for another
project i couldnt help but not the extreme amount
of waves in their hair..thus my pea brain decided
to put little sail boats on them...so like liquid
gets into this chalk...boom this poster was born

meet me down the sock hop

this was a pure joy doing this ..one i had been
working on the same concept for someone else for
a few weeks and this job was emailed to me to be done
quick and with the theme of the night i thought
it would be fun just to do something concept free and
just really embrace this style and era of design...
both client and i walked away happy...crazy!

shout outs

theres a nice shout out from the boys
in this english interview last year about
me and the videos and art i do for the boys
i find it amusing that dave uses my real name
of jeff gordon and not my bs artname of jefferton
which he uses when we are face to face

i heart hart

this is an online promo image for tim hart
one of the members of boy and bear , its his
very folk side project and i cant wait to work
with hi on his future projects

going up river to find charlie

heres a behind the scenes pic from the
charlie mayfair shoot in QLD..the image
shown is a group of friends on the way to
a viking style / day of the dead funeral..
its something you dont get to do everyday

the rag trade

so happy to be doing more boy and bear merch
here's a looksee at the shirts for their upcoming
tour



on my blog ..models always wear top hats



I honestly think this vomiting ocean head is the
weirdest fucking thing i have ever done..and they
loved it

cooking up a big pot of stu

fried and mega brill muso stu larsen , whom
i had postered before in the past asked me to
art direct his ep..so i jumped at the chance to
do some design work that didnt involve some kinda
goofball idea from my head...using his wonderful
photos to steer me ..we are both very happy with
this result..its feels very personal..

new poster art

biplane bus stop...if only

there will be blood

i had the utmost fun doing this..
taking a dive bomb into something
really fucked up was a joy and im
lucky this band is the kind that supports
it..and always have..based the the tale of
the titular character i decided to increase
the blood shed to flood levels...once i started
it was rather hard to stop..there was temptation
to have humans and livestock floating in there but
for reasons of good taste i restrained myself

what are ya...yella!!!

heres a sneak peek still from the upcoming
boy and bear video ..shot all around the us
during the month of april and may....
