I was wrong, there are two photos from the festival. My friend was preforming with her poi for kicks. I was just suprised to see her there but I was also looking for friends amongst the crowd, something I seem to spend a fair bit of time doing at these things.

For those who don’t know what poi is, it’s the Mauri art of swinging ball/s attatched to string or rope. Some of you might think “ha, balls” however there are many variations and fire twirling is one less mentally hilarious version.

“Snasen do great visual work, strong and calm at the same time. Their portfolio ranges from type-centric editorial work, such as this lookbook for norwegian fashion brand FIN, to the more illustrative pieces for Oslo Fashion Week. I like them all.”

The only photo we took from the Newtown Festival. The first beer of the morning and my ridiculously brick-like, non-iPhone phone. Boycotting the whole iPhone phase untill there’s a practical use. Ironically, the photo was taken on my friend’s iPhone.

You can almost see my dirty Movember-stache coming through.

Far too drunk/hungover to deal with life right now.

Some nights are just not meant for sleeping.

Things to call the work experience kid.

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:36:00 +1100

Slick, tiger, kid, young-ling, sport, son, buddy, rook(ie), greenhorn, fledgling…

I’ve just been employed at a small printing company, and already I’m in the process of thinking up things to call the experience kid. My more experienced co-conspirator has told me that he is less than able.

I checked all the things Agent Kay (played by Tommy Lee Jones) called Agent Jay (played by Will Smith) in Men in Black. The list is a lot less impressive than what I had imagined.

Any suggestions?

I’ll be spending most of my day and some of my night at the Newtown Festival tomorrow. It’s like a local market with pony rides, and beer, and music, but larger then average.

Concrete Hermit by London-based design studio, Ah (some how pronounced o:h)

Pretty darn awesome. Ah designed a blank vinyl notepad canvas for invited illustrators to embellish each day of the YCN LIVE event in 2008.

I’m not bored of movies, but I’m pretty close. I thought I’d get round to reading something by David Sedaris and James Ellory, since all the hype about posting them mid-popularity is over.

Did I mention I was a fan of Chip Kidd. I read the book he wrote, interesting but he should probably stick to designing book covers.

Metronome limited edition poster by Belfast design studio, Willow

Just posting because I like the custom wax seal they made for the packaging, I’m kinda over the whole shallow skull-like theme.

I’m entertained by my mate’s awesome job description, or at least the one I’ve dubbed him since I don’t know what he does to pay the rent. One can always dream though.

Tom Townend (no relation to Tosh Townend as far as I know) aka Rattle Me Bones is in a one man metal band. He’s in search of someone to do vocals despite being very capable to scream his way though a set.

Observing a moment by Raymond Biesinger for Monocle

I love every illustration in Monocle. The relationship between the text and the illustration, the illustration and the textures just warms my heart with something fuzzy.

I want to be able to pull this off but I probably can’t. I’m no 6 foot jock with a parental sponsored creditcard.

OQO Restraunt Logo by SEA Design

You’d have to wonder if the restraunt owners knew they were getting their money’s worth. I like the simple look so it looks just peachy to me.

4. My friendships are for that never-lasting moment.

Needless to say, most don’t last long.

Google Analytics is probably the closest thing I’ll get to having a death (ray) console. That’s right, I’m watching you click on my links. Yeah, you visit that.

Gender Analyzer:

It has determined me male, but only just (by 5%). Erin, the increase in NBA posts has resulted in you being at least 20% more man then myself. Curse you GenderAnalyzer, and your decision making database.

Qompendium looks like a grand publication, but I can see myself flicking through the pages and not reading 90% of it (not including the title).

Hush you.

(You can tell I’m embarressed because I’m about to try and excuse myself) So I like to do posts history checks, prevents a lot of trash or people with reblog trees turning up on my dashboard. Oh how I hate those post with branchs of additional comments. God, how I hate those branches. I might of mentioned something about my tumblr habits here earlier.

Damn you

Jacqueline J. O’Donnell! (You can tell you’re in trouble because I said your whole name) I forgot all about Cleverbot till you reminded me. Now I’m not even procastinating with a person, it’s just a program. I suppose that isn’t any different to a video game. In return I will follow you for further sources of procastination.
