27 dolphins have been abducted and then sold to Resorts World in Singapore. Two of them died during the ordeal in Langkawi, so the rest were sent to the Philippines to wait for their new enclosures and new lives as entertainment slaves in Sentosa.

Cheating Sons have written and composed a song called "Cirque de l'esclave" to show their support, I urge you all to visit www.saddestdolphins.com and show yours.

**UPDATE: You can sign the petition to help save the dolphins from Resorts World Sentosa here.

An early teaser pic from the Die Vader Die photoshoot last year that was shot with the help of Lauren Olney. And before anyone starts questioning about the poor little tapes, no good cassettes were harmed, only the really horrible ones were sacrificed for the shoot.

Updates.

2010-12-29T23:20:00.003+11:00

Dear life, please stop slacking and/or playing with plastic ninja weapons and start doing some creative stuff and work! The holidays are ending and I've been totally wasting time with that stupid iPhone scrabble app.

Updates.

2010-12-07T09:04:00.005+11:00

The end of the year approaches and my work pile builds up as I continue working on freelance gigs with bands the Cheating Sons and Die Vader Die. I'm also trying to find some time to start on Still Warm issue 2, continue working on musical collaborative projects with Pomme De La Pomme, Staring Incident and David Carla as well as composing new tunes for my own personal musical exploration: Eff Loves You (there are new tracks on the myspace page).

On another note, I like this girl and I have a silly new hair cut.

Cheating Sons Photoshoot.

2010-11-01T13:25:00.007+11:00

Yesterday was spent spray painting bokchoy, rice and some meat gold with members from Cheating Sons in preparation for their album cover photoshoot. Despite being massively hung over from the night before with some friends and their vocalist Renyi, the shoot went well and I'm excited to get into the project soon. Cheating Sons is possibly one of the best rock and roll bands I've heard from Singapore because of their unique sound.

Still Warm Updates.

2010-10-17T21:31:00.005+11:00

Still Warm is currently available at Polyester Books and Sticky Institute (Melbourne), Quimbys (Chicago), Pilot Books and Elliot Bay Book Company (Seattle) and Pens (San Francisco). Also, Still Warm has been reviewed by Syndicate Zine Reviews, read the article here. Or maybe just read all our updates here.

So because we're totally international and junk now, you should order a copy from us before all our zines are consumed! Contact Hannah or myself at thisisstillwarm@gmail.com

Animal Bookscapes website is up.

2010-10-03T19:03:00.004+11:00

I've made little pieces of music to accompany each book I've made for the exhibition, like little soundtracks for the mini one page stories.

You can see the other books and hear the soundscapes at www.animalbookscapes.posterous.com

Exhibition Updates.

2010-09-21T23:35:00.004+10:00

With only two more weeks to go, I'm running pretty late with my animal books... three big books need to be glued shut, four little books need to be cut and illustrated, but my plastic animals buddies are having fun playing with each other while they wait for their new homes which makes everybody happy.

Exhibition catalogue is about 80% finished as well, and I think it's looking pretty hot so do pop in for the exhibition and pick up a free copy (then maybe buy a copy of Still Warm!).

Don't Quit Your Day Job.

2010-09-16T00:17:00.013+10:00

Don't Quit Your Day Job is an exhibition held by eight lovely ladies and myself at the Hogan Gallery on 310 Smith Street, Collingwood. We decided to team up and combine our superhuman abilities to create strange and wonderful installations, photography and illustrations. I've also been designing promotional flyers and a little catalogue to be handed out on the opening night.

Mad talented artists involved include:
Veronica Fisher
Aviv Gazit
Jane Hamilton
Bobby Harrington
Ned Karam
Hannah Miller
Jessie Ngaio
Lauren Olney
Frankie Pan

Also, Alison Wylie aka Flo One will be spinning some killer tunes for the duration of the opening night and Hannah and I will be launching and selling issue one of Still Warm too. See you there!

Opening night: 6-8pm Friday October 1, 2010.
Exhibition dates: October 1-14, 2010.

Exhibition books.

2010-08-30T23:54:00.004+10:00

The office exhibition (currently called "Don't Quit Your Day Job") is just around the corner, so lots of time has been spent cutting up these pretty books I've found and deciding how my imaginary monster friends will be interacting with my zoo of little plastic animals. Here's an early mock up of that idea for the promo postcards with a gorilla and his imaginary friend saying hello.

Exhibition dates should be early October.

Still Warm 01: The Post Incubation Issue.

2010-08-15T09:45:00.005+10:00

Still Warm is a project that Hannah Miller and myself have been working on for the past few months. It's our little creative output in the form of an A5 zine and we're very excited to have finally finished the first issue and get it back from the printers last week. We will be distributing our zines in the usual zine stores in Melbourne (Sticky, Polyester, etc) for $4 a copy. There is only a limited number of copies so if you're interested, order one through either one of us!

Eff Loves You revisited.

2010-07-21T01:59:00.007+10:00

Eff Loves You is a musical project I've been working on since early 2008, experimenting with Garageband, Ableton Live and vocal distortions. Over the past few months I've been collaborating with talented musicians and have included some of those tracks on the site as well. Most of the tracks were inspired by movies, sea creatures, vegetables and encounters with talking honey ants.

Under the name David Carla and David Carla, Chen and I have designed this limited edition promotional CD package for our musical friends, Die Vader Die. They make lovely music and they're extra lovely for covering Iggy Pop for me at Ding Dong Lounge.

Check out their music here.

Busy little bee.

2010-02-28T16:08:00.007+11:00

Things slowed down just for a moment as I decided to take a break after the insanity of the zine fair book preparations, and now it's back to being a busy little bee.

Most of the articles have been completed for Still Warm, a zine that Hannah and I have started earlier this year... which means it's time for me to start getting the design and layouts churned out soon. There's still a couple more photoshoots we'd like to get done, and we're definitely going to approach Lauren again for all our photography because she was absolutely brilliant for the dodgeball shoot (and also a little special thanks here to Ned for letting us throw dodgeballs at her head). We've also received a couple of contributions in the form of a sweet little essay about first loves, and a bizarre comic strip about sex and ponies.

Then there's further development with the big branding project for Inversion Studios, a recording studio in Singapore. And I'm also getting back into the groove of things with David Carla and Fish School, two musical projects experimenting with vocal distortion and electronica through Ableton. With DC, it's more experimenting with industrial and shoegaze genres, and then Fish School sounds like... mm, just imagine that you accidentally fell into the ocean and all the fish are really friendly and shit, that's what we sound like.

And yes, that is a photo of me with very nice breasts.

Hang over illustrations.

2010-02-17T01:49:00.005+11:00

For those who didn't know, all the illustrations from "A boy meets a tall girl" were redrawn from illustrations in a sketchbook from 2006. I call them the 'hang over' illustrations because they were done during the painfully boring Monday morning lecture at uni, and Jean and I would be sitting next to each other exhausted and discovering random things in our pockets from the night before. So for those who did know and requested to see them, here are a couple that I managed to dig up.

Oh and if you didn't manage to attend last Saturday's zine fair, I still have a few copies of both "Where did my sock go?" and "A boy meets a tall girl" left over, so let me know if you'd like a copy.

Zine Success.

2010-02-14T21:28:00.012+11:00

So the zine fair was a success, I managed to sell a lot more than I had expected which was really cool. Thanks to everyone who bought some of our books, you're all very cool, especially the awkward little elf who bought my sock book and then gave me her CD (your music is magical). And also special thanks to Ayano once again for inviting me to sell zines with her (her books are precious and you should order a copy through her if you didn't get one last Saturday) and also to Hannah, because she's very cool and constantly inspires me (that's her sitting next to me above).

Sticky Zine Fair.

2010-02-13T13:30:00.006+11:00

All packed and ready to go! Nervous as fuck (I'm not good with sitting around while people look at my stuffs), it's beer and left over lasagne for me this morning before I head down the Degraves Subway for some massively exciting zine action.

I'm also really excited to see the two little books that my talented little friend Ayano has made. She was the one who had invited me to sit and sell some books with her at the Sticky Zine Fair... I will give yous so many hugs later xx.

Book Preparation.

2010-02-08T20:18:00.006+11:00

My living room has been transformed into a mini book factory as I slowly but steadily bind 30 "Where did my sock go?" books for Sticky's zine fair on February 13th, which is this coming Saturday. This painful process will be updated regularly here.

I will also be churning out 20 copies of a new book called "A boy meets a tall girl" for the fair. It's a little story about my friendship with one of my favoritest girls in the world, Jean.

Til then, my hands hurt and there's only two beers left in the fridge.

A new iPhone, a new tumblr. I started a tumblr specifically for interesting daily findings as I've been rather trigger happy with my flashy new phone.

Update: Busy times.

2010-01-21T02:32:00.010+11:00

Sorry for the lack of posts here, but things have been rather hectic in my brain. I've been working on a new branding project for a music studio, collaborating with Lutfi on a musical project called Fish School and with Chen on new David Carla material, starting a magazine with Hannah called Still Warm as well as writing some new story books for a zine fair next month... and not to mention work has been rather busy in the office as well.

Earlier today I was looking through some of Lauren's photography and came across this old photo she took of me which pretty much captures how I feel right now: bleh.

Update: Break time.

2009-10-19T20:37:00.004+11:00

Packing up for a three week holiday in Singapore, but I will totally miss my Little Palmerston street Saturday sunshine and beer parties.

Book Fascination.

2009-05-05T08:23:00.006+10:00

I've always had a fascination with old books, especially those with names or birthday wishes scribbled on first page. I usually pick up a few illustrated children's books at the market, but last Sunday I stumbled upon three really beautiful old hardcover books, and I've already started to illustrate in the first one, "The Hunters' Feast".

Proposed DL design for a modelling agency.

Besides the above promotional DL card and a few other projects in the office, life has been rather quiet and completely routine. I need to find a source of productivity after work hours soon, as each lonely passing day seems to feel rather meaningless.

“Blue streaked ants like to pinch and bite

“I will not drink the milk from your anus, Albertus.

Bound Exhibition: 6-12 December, 2008.

2008-11-16T15:56:00.014+11:00

I will be participating in the above group exhibition by contributing some illustrative work, churning out these invites and working with Lauren on a book that will contain pretty pictures and stories which will be sold at the Palookaville throughout the week.

Opening night is on Saturday, 6th December, so do check it out then because there will be insane live performances and video screenings. I'm actually especially keen to see Michael Meneghetti do his thing with his stilts (he's in the second invite above).
