TJ upcoming tee design.

Long time no post.

A few things, firstly, appreciate this coming soon TJ design. That's right, you lucky few that actually follow my blog get to see it before its released! omg!

Long time, No blog.

I've been busy with Total Jerk stuff, stressing like you wouldn't believe that my designs won't be ready.

Anywho, here are some bits I've been working on recently for better or for worse.

p.s. I realise this is sort of a dump of work with no real direction, but I haven't really had time for co-ordinating blog posts.

Will also get round to putting some new bits on my website soon.

Will also get round to designing the two tattoo designs I have to design, as well as some album cover, more t-shirt designs, a full 32 page childrens book and probably some other bits I've forgotten about too. WOW.

Total Jerk

So over the last many many hours, me and Oli Read have been building the Total Jerk website.

Total Jerk is the design collective/ t-shirt brand that me, Oli Read, Elliott Langford, Rich Walton and Rob Juggins created and run.

Go check out our website (I totally coded and co-designed that little doozy)

I'll post about this again when the shops properly running

Christmas Cards 1

Some of the christmas card designs I've been working on for friends and family. They're all getting to keep the originals the lucky devils!

Graduated.

So as you can see here, last week, I graduated! (look, I've got the hat and everything). I'm not looking drastically flattering here as I was immensely hungover for the event which was ludicrously early in the morning. Hungover Alex? for one of the biggest events of your life? Yes. Yes I was! know why? Go out the way you went in, thats what I figured!

I'll take this moment to mention some politically relevant stuff: I sympathize deeply to all potential university students out there whose lives (and more specifically, bank accounts) are to take something of a bashing in the future, for no real gain or purpose that I can see... Its a difficult conundrum, University was the most fun time of my life and has significantly made me the person I am today, as well as given me the drive to strive for more from my life. I would urge anyone who felt an interest in gaining more academically to go to uni. It will be the best days of your life. But at the same time, I could not justify playing ball with the government, caving in and actually paying the costs they expect you to pay. I am glad I don't have to make this decision, I am lucky in a sense. But I am by no means complacent, I fully support the protests by the students and wish them luck and support. For the sake of the country, we need a generation of people like that.

Tat Design

So its finally come to this, rather than drawing anything useful, I've drawn a tattoo design. Still, I guess I'm drawing at least!

A little political relevancy.

I doubt they will, but its always a possibility. What a crazy world we live in. Maybe I'll print this postcard and send it, then I'll have done something I guess...

oh also, the last image is to show them as postcards, otherwise they just look like simple pictures. Perhaps I need to work on my mockup skills, as I don't think I got the angles of a convincing piece of card on a table surface correct. If you dislike that though, that is what we call "nit-picking".

Sorry about the lack of posts you 7 people that actually follow my blog... although you probably don't really do you?

anyone?

no.

ok then.
