This was our garden at 65, I did this as a summer project (2009 maybe?) but I never got to finish it. However I quite like how it looks unfinished, because really, aren't all our lives just unfinished drawings? Hur hur. Only kidding. It looks nice, I love doing tonal drawings with pencil or charcoal, but they do take a while so unfortunately I don't dabble in them as much as I want to. I'll leave it unfinished.
Forgot about this gem - this was a poster I mocked up on Photoshop for our end of term party a couple years back at Elephant and Castle. Good times.
But the fight in reality...
Place your bets..
Leo 'Da Bear' Vick. Undefeated champ of the animal kingdom, was ready to face Maz..
I insisted on a clean fight.
But then it just went awry..
Ahh..
Hmm...
Oh dear...

I love this photo so much. Jon to the right looks awesome, Leo obviously traumatized on the bed to the left, that's Joe about to lay a punch into me, as I'm the blue shirt trying to save the Strongbow, then there's someone else there as well! Tim Bott I think. Pretty sure another person is in there too.
Albeit 2 months later than planned, but here it is. A small video I put together of the night myself and 65 made visuals for AVA's launch party. Shame we didn't get a lot of moving image footage during the actual gig itself, I'll ask round to see if anyone has some footage they'd like to share.
A summary of the last few posts: Myself and the guys at 65 have been doing visuals for Avenge Vulture Attack, this was the last teaser we produced, directed by myself:
Myself and fellower 65-er Jon (as well as other friends too) went down to the night to take some snaps, while at the same time I was also in charge of the the set list videos we did for them as they played the gig itself (Not exactly VJing, but just making sure everything started/ended when it should).
It went down really well, the videos, the band, the people, it was a really fun night.
Below are some photos of the night, I took some short video clips too which I'm going to compose together as a separate video, but hopefully I'll grab some other footage too from some of the other photographers/videographers that were there.
Monitors with our looped visuals.
Projection at the back on the wall too.
Lavley!

Me and the guys at 65 have been creating some visuals for Avenge Vulture Attack. In particular for their EP launch, we've released 2 'teaser' videos for the album itself, have a look:
I'm directing the next one which will be released shortly, we may even have a 4th one if we have enough time. Also, the 'eagerly anticipated' music video I did for them will be released shortly, watch this space.
Got a part time job at 'For Art's Sake' in Ealing, a nice little art shop where we take orders for framing and mounting as well as selling prints and ceramics. It's a cool little job, I've done a couple of shifts already, I'm learning and picking things up each time, so glad to have my money worry lifted.
As well as this I started a new internship at CHK Design, near London Fields. A small team of about 6 of us in this enormous warehouse shared by other companies/freelancers. It's incredibly friendly and I feel I've settled in only after 4 days of working there.
65 is still growing, we're working on the same 2 projects at the moment, some very interesting results with the Avenge Vulture Attack Videos! Stay tuned for that. But more importantly we have a REAL website (under construction) but it exists! GO HERE
I also designed gig tickets and a poster/flyer recently for the band The Heist, for their upcoming album launch on Sunday. Check it.
(Cheers to Pique for the photo)
I also feel this video should get more exposure, it's so funny, made by Mr funny man Alex Cruden:
So yeah catch you lot soon, I'll try and do more frequent posts I promise!
