Passionate Eggs

It's now spring and our passionfruit vines are still fruiting. We have a constant supply, along with eggs from our garden chooks. We get about two eggs a day, plus one more if Mrs Pecky isn't being her usual clucky self, warming the straw in her nest. With the wind blowing everything around we're getting 4 or 5 passionfruit a day too.. I can't keep up. Eggs and passionfruit - perhaps some sort of custard recipe beckons?

Comics and Fists

Went to an event at the Rosemount tonight featuring the works and presentations by Gestalt - including illustrators Justin Randall and Anton Mckay. Amazing stuff. Justin took us through some conceptual development and the process he uses to get his stories and imagery happening. Check out it out.

Commercial Rap Farm Style

I love the new look and website for City Farmers - I like that a local store made good can be a great example of decent branding (from their identity right through to their service in store).
I ducked into their Belmont store today to pick up dog nuts (B's endearing term for dog biscuits...). Everyone smiled at me, no one bothered me, the guy at the counter came and met me half way to the till when he saw I was laden up with 4 bags of nuts (they had a special on). They even helped carry the nuts to the car - scrub that, they didn't help - they carried, I watched. Anyway, enough of a rant and free ad - I like 'em fine.

Spec Me Up

I'm not usually one to promote 'spec' work but what the hell - this is for Triple J (government sponsored youth radio station), a brand I enjoy. It's a bit of fun. Limit yourself to 30mins and you have a nice little hourly rate. It's also part of the SemiPermanent exercise, which is kinda nice too.

"Come up with any design you like on the theme ‘triple it’ and submit it to tshirt@semipermanent.com (with your name & mobile). Please submit your entry as a low res JPG. If your design wins you’ll receive $1000 and have your design released as part of the triple j t-shirt range so everyone can see it."

Feel free to disagree.
