Hawaii Design: Promo Copy

This was a promotional giveaway by Paul McAnelly of Hawaii Design.He'd been involved in some major projects and felt it was time to express just what he was capable of aside from the tag of graphic designer.Having shared a studio with him and worked for him in the past I was able to justify this with some copy...

Grafik Magazine: Bodies

For Grafik magazine, this was a tricky one. I hated the sentiment and the delivery of the show and had to sit and interview the 'doctor' i.e. Barnum style quack who put the show together.

Grafik Magazine: David Shrigley interview

For Grafik Magazine, I went up to Glasgow for the day to interview Mr Shrigley. I'd met him when he came to do a show when I was at college in 1996, just as was begining to hit the big time but I hadn't seen him since. Back in 96 he was friendly, sincere, enthusiastic and very approachable. 10 years had past and he'd changed. Whether it was nerves I don't know, but he kept on name dropping major deals he was doing (Google at the time, although I haven't seen it) and pretending that he was bored by the acclaim. The interview was difficult, and I made it more so by accidentally tripping him up over his trademark crossed out spelling and the failed music / art connection. Mind due, it captures the awkwardness of the man. One of those people where the work outshines the personality, not a bad thing.

Grafik Magazine: Qoob (MTV Italia)

This was one of my favourite interviews for Grafik to date. I was really into the idea of Qoob even if there are so many 'communities' out there... Designers are wankers included, that its difficult to see the wood for the trees.

A tricky one, they didn't understand me and I didn't understand them. Scientists doing art argghhhghgh emotion underkill.
