This guy is legend. Designed ficticiuos record covers, hundreds of them, went AWOL to avoid the draft and becomes a collectable recording artist without actually recording anything. Brilliant! Reminded me of my childhood dreaming of being in a band. Read the full story on the Guardian.
Thanks to Matt for this one….

Way back in December it was the Direct Design Christmas party. The whole shebang was paid for by the managers and I drank Gin + Tonics all night. Supreme! We even had a room at the hotel to say in and I had a lovely breakfast of scrambled eggs, kippers and black pudding. It lived up to all expectations. There were tears, laughs, people being sick, sleeping where they shouldn’t… but what happens on tour, stays on tour.
For all in gruesome details including my spur of the moment haircut and gaye byker moustache, have a look here. Above is a nice pick that I reminded Darren of… anyone for a game of Street Fighter?
We’ve been in the house for 10 months now and despite our best intensions we still have boxes to unpack. I’ve been working on a set of shelves for the past 6 months, snatching time away from Adeola and Foluke on a weekend to measure eight times and cut a little less than that. The shelves are for the stereo and music collection in the lounge room and we are both eager for me to get it finished so we can play some vinyl again! As I am now painting 3 of the shelves I have cut and fitted, there is a little more space but there still is plenty of wood in what will be my studio/den and loads of stuff clinging to shelves.
Now, every bloke needs some kind of “shed”. When we found this place I pissed in a corner of this passageway come room and warned Foluke off. Since then it has just been full of boxes from the move, boxes of unsold Pop Gun records, books, broken guitars and other junk I’ve been hording for years. Now to be fair, we have had a baby and there have been other priorities but it’s now been time for me to sort it out as I am missing my own little space to muse and create.
