Something must be done about this.]]> Sun, 06 May 2012 12:42:32 -0500


So here are just a few images from the buntingtastic big day! The 20 shirts we got went to the folk who made it all possible, and sat with us making all 700m of the bunting the week before....









Thanks again threadless, you're all awesome! I feel like a side-line in bunting could go pretty well...]]> Tue, 25 Oct 2011 09:04:11 -0500

So just pick anything from the sale, and tell me what you would choose on my brand new facebook page, and tomorrow night I'll choose 3 people at random and buy them what they chose!

Yeah I know, I'm making you go to my facebook page, but it's really fun over there, honest!

I wanted to share this with all of you! For the last few months I've been working at a project called "tesseract", which I started after travelling to India with a bunch of fellow architecture students and designing a school for a charity there. Since then we've been doing lectures, art exhibitions, fundraising events, writing articles, and running design competitions.

Anyway, the competitions are what I wanted to tell you all about. They have mainly been architecture orientated so far, but this month is way more open- we're just asking for a single image which depicts your envisioning of a city (of your choice) in 100 years time. I thought this might be something all you threadlessers could get into, what with your mental photo-hausing skills and illustratory magic...

So how about it? It will help get a school in India built too, plus you could win a bunch of cash!

Tesseract Competitions]]> Wed, 24 Mar 2010 11:04:57 -0500 Got some photos from Delhi, check it out...






You may notice in that last one that one of the kids is sporting BMX Nirvana. Turns out I accidentally sent my order of shirts to Delhi too, and I just thought international economy post was just being extra slow! It's hard not to laugh when I think about how confused he must have been at having the only different shirt- I can't decide whether he would be proudly unique and the jealousy of all, or horrifically left out.

No big deal I thought, I'll just head over to threadless and order some more of my shirts, but disaster- all the guys sizes are sold out!

My extraspecially nice friends at threadless offered to check around their warehouse when I told them about it all, and thankfully managed to find me some of my design left. Got them this morning, thanks!

Sorry for the mega long blog, and if you read it all, give yourself a thumbs up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is by far my favourite print of mine so far, and it's made extra special by the difference it will make. Thanks so much to everyone who voted for this, and who has bought it too. Here is where the prize is going...

$1500- Anusaran- a small charity in Delhi who do amazing work with young woman and children in a slum area. I spent a year with them and the place inspired this design.

$100- Save the children- a British charity which does great work worldwide, but the money is for their Haiti Appeal specifically.

$100- Girl Effect- A charity that transforms societies in a sustainable way though supporting young women.

$100- Cystic Fibrosis Trust- A friend of mine has CF, so this is for a charity that supports people and funds research into treatments.

$100- Shelter- Another British charity, which helps homeless folk. There are a few folk beg around where I live, and it would be great to see them get on their feet again.

$100-Charity Water- I wanted to give to a water thing because I like water. I only heard about these guys the other day, but they seem perfect.

A bit about the design...
In delhi I stayed for a while in the slum area. In the evening the rooftops were full of kids fighting kites, and in the streets below kids were keeping a keen eye on the scene- ready to chase after any kite that was cut loose.
I took the photo in the background on a quick visit to Shimla in the foothills of the himalayas. The place was seething with monkeys so I invested in a "monkey stick" to keep them at bay. It was a beautiful place though.

(p.s. no photoshopping involved!)

Thanks threadless for printing this, I hope soon I will have some pictures of Anusaran receiving some shirts!]]> Sun, 14 Mar 2010 18:25:28 -0500 But now a wee bit of me would quite like it to be, but I expect it would get totally slated for being like Si Scott's drawings.

What do you think?

]]> Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:38:56 -0600 Come and vote, and you too can be super fresh content.

(I totally missed Jan 1st, but 365 days is 365 days whenever you start, right?)

For the next 365 days I'm going to film 10 seconds of my day. I'm thinking I'll post them all on a tumblr blog because they are beautiful and simple, but maybe flickr. It won't win any international acclaim or expand my creativity drastically (like MSCE did/would), but I want to look at things differently and be able to look back at this year and see all the tiny day to day things I know I'll forget. I'm just going to use the Flip camera I got for the innovation contest, or my mobile, so I'm not talking loads of effort or time.

Does anyone want to join me?
The rules are-
10 seconds/day
No editing
No sound

At the end of it you can make a movie of clips of the whole year- it would be just over an hour long.
