Artwork update

Artwork and poster design for the upcoming Freq Nasty show in Wellington.

What a great Christmas and New Years it has been! A satisfying ending to what i personally thought was a pretty shitty year, with some exceptions. 2009 is here now, and I'm determined to ensure its utter awesomeness.

What have we been up to since the last update? Other than Weta work? Well, went to Rhythm and Vines over the break, up in sunny Gisbourne - and did some Photography work while we were up there. What a great experience! It was our second time spending our new years there and it always delivers with such a nice vibe, great weather, music and just generally lots of fun.
I am actually trying to find some time to work on an XML/flash gallery to display some of pictures i took, once i am able to work out all the details. So fingers crossed i can get that all together.
In the meantime, here's some of the ones i took amongst those taken by others at the official R&V website gallery or ths link from the New Zealand Herald.

As you can see, Phil has been hard at work with his DJ'ing and production with his Strictly 138 crew with the Upcoming Ghost Dubs TRUTH gig, and we have been working on artwork for the 2009 FreQ Nasty Orientation tour, He's playing here in Wellington on the 5th of March and it shall be a rather excellent night!

So i think that's about it, project wise that's all i can report (without getting into trouble) Belated love and happy new years to all.

peace,

Old school attack! - Teach Me

Back in 1998 as part of the design degree i was taking at Wellingtons Victoria University, i did a paper that served as a sort of an introduction to 3D computer graphics. I forget the details of the actual design brief for this particular assignment itself - but it had something to do with the idea of injecting life into primitive objects.

Not exactly Ratatouille in its technical sophistication (hey - it was my first shot at it!) but yes - its still kinda fun. So i thought I'd embarrass myself and upload it for a laugh. Enjoy!

Minor update from the Brothers-Mogg: Well, since the onslaught of both an increasingly busy lifestyle and the dawn of myspace, we have found less and less time to keep shit updated on the blog.
Sooo... for the last few weeks we have been pushing a little harder on the Beanz project with the filming of extra pickup scenes, as well as ramping up for other post production related tasks such as rotoscoping and soundmixing, all is looking pretty good so far. We hope to upload the opening scene at some point soon to give a taste tester of what the tone of the Beanz will be.
Phils been also doing DJ'ing and production too, more info on P-vans can be located on his myspace link on the top righthand side of this page.
As for me, well other than a projected 2nd half of 2007 to be ramping up on the Weta front with exciting (and stressful) new challanges, i have been doing a bit of Photography stuff when i find the time. I am planning on making a new section of the site that focuses on what i think to be my best work.
But as it stands at the moment - Beanz has the highest share of my free time....

peace and rock on!
