I’ve been getting a little bit of photographic work lately which has lead to some well needed £’s which in turn has tempted me to buy a couple of new sexy lenses for my camera which has been nice. I got to put them through their paces at the Launch night of my-um.com to take some photos of Kid Id which was ace. I am really happy with how they handle the low-light and the results the produce! To see the rest of the photos from of Kid-Id from the my-um.com launch follow the ‘read more’ link or click here. To view previous photos of Kid Id I have taken check out the Photograph Archive.
Also worth checking out is my-um.com which seems rather exciting for music lovers, musicians and promoters, in their own words it is “[a] brand new world for music lovers, makers and industry heads alike. Bands - MY-UM offers you a platform to promote and release your music, earn money, and get expert advice”
As always I highly reccomend getting down to a Kid Id gig, they are lots of fun and their new stuff is ace! Check them out!

Okay, Okay, so it isn’t quite summer yet, and it isn’t quite strawberry season yet either but I did have some rather nice strawbs the other day and had the urge to do a nice little picture about them. I also downloaded a ton of fantastic typefaces from HDV Fonts and really wanted to use them for something fun and funky! If you need some fun amazing typefaces check them out!
Every one loves a good strawberry!
Well It’s finally spring time, well it kind has been feeling like it lately. The nights are getting longer the grass is growing again and the birds wake meup every morning at 4am.
Over the May bank holiday my housemate and I decided to do some gardening, which he recorded with his camera and tilt shift lens set to take photos on 7 second intervals. Put together this makes an awesome fun little time-lapse video! Check out the video here. Whilst there check out Paolo’s awesome photography too!
I was very excited today randomly looking online at various bits and pieces when I thought that I would check too see the website of a client to see if they had finished their new site - and they had (www.grunberg.co.uk) featuring an illustration I completed for them a little while back.
The illustrations for this website went through many different phases and the finals are whopping 300MB photoshop files with loads of little subtle details and layers that do not show up on the internet, but do when printed (which was one of the requirements).
The buildings are the actual buildings that the company uses as their offices down an old cobble-stone side-street in Golders Green, London. Every effort was taken to make it look as recognisable to the actual buildings as possible. From the old wooden textures around the door frames to the myriad of cables and pipes on the roof the illustration is a fairly accurate representation of the Grunberg & Co offices (with a few artistic licenses). On the website the doors actually ‘open’ when clicked on and the windows have lights that switch on which looks quite cool.
Just to add to the challenge for this job I was also instructed to complete a ‘day time’ and ‘night time’ version for use on the website at different times of the day.
It was allot of frustrating work at times, and very relaxing at others but I am really pleased with the result!
