Kids these days...

I was commissioned by Melbourne based design studio Kid You Not to design a poster around the studios design beliefs. In this case – “Design is art that makes itself useful”. I tend to agree.

A 'tough-badge’ I designed for my buddies leg. He wanted a "D made of bones”. I’ll post the 'ink-on-skin' version later.

Here's a poster for an in-store gig DUCK DUCK CHOP did with TEEN ARCHER at the best record store in Melbourne - Missing Link. It was a rad show. Teen Archer are a great band.

Some photos I took of the final printed and pressed product. DUCK DUCK CHOP 7 Inch record in all its glory. Quite happy with the result.

This is the DUCK DUCK CHOP 7 Inch Record cover art. I drew it back in the year 2000 and 9. It has 2 tracks which are titled BLOOD IN A PLASTIC BAG / FINAL. Essentially what we have here is a fat, naked man sitting on an office chair with his head in an oversized pencil sharpener. The "face sharpenings" are creating a loverly ravelling decoration that carries over to the back cover. Oh and he is flanked by his trusty finger-face dog. 

And here's a photo of the final product. The KIDS OF ZOO - 7 Inch Record. I mucked up the print layout a little so there is a bit too much white space on the left hand side.
