me studio

i spent a large part of the day taking part in a brainstorm session for ‘my space’ on the subject of social networks and the online/offline opportunities for such a brand… always interesting to spend a day talking to a wide range of people on a specific topic like this and as always things i don’t know or understand but try to formulate an opinion on by ‘gut feeling’ are always the most inspiring for myself, as far as i’m concerned myspace should carry on doing what they do best: promoting new music… like my favourites of the moment the ting tings

however the lack of design (or overkill of ‘custmer generated’ customisation) on myspace still makes me feel more than a little queasy…

one great band doing a cover of another great band sigh.. makes me all nostalgic

a series of three limited edition (fold-out) photobooks made for photographer ‘raymond waltjen’ have just been added to the ‘me work’ section

the new corporate identity for film production company ‘caviar’ is currently at the printers, the first piece to arrive back: the business cards

this is my favourite paparazzi image, which i’ve been trying to find for a while and came across in a photo magazine today, the image is by the paparazzi godfather ‘ron galella’ and it’s sean penn (then at a difficult time in his life) giving another paparazzi photographer a serious ‘knuckle sandwich’ it’s a great image which has a circularity about it on the subject of paparazi journalism and the way it affects people
