robot academy graphic design

Those of you who know me will be pretty sick of hearing me talk about screen printing all day, every day. But all this talk has come to something – my first proper print. So here it is. These will be available to buy IN THE FUTURE. Limited edition of about 25 (havent counted yet) hand pulled in the robot academy DIY print cave. A2, two colour, 245 gsm speckled cream paper.

I do a lot of work that involved looking at band logos. I have noticed a trend that is getting out of control in Australia. Here is a picture, see if you can pick what im talking about:

If you guessed “they are all the same logo” you are correct. So the point of this post is to declare that this trend is officially OVER.

Oh hey there guys! I didnt see you there. I made a new font, its pretty basic but WHATEVER. Its called GOSSIPTYPE. Feel free to enjoy this flashing gif containing some of the letters.

heres a repost of a little thing i had to  delete – its a concept i did for the fine folks at etcetc.

Heres a thing for thing im working on. Clipping paths and halftones.

So the single art is based off the tour poster. Massive summer vibrations. This is going to be huge.

Scored a sweet second hand flat file. Studio is now split level.

Ideally we would like to remove the couch and make it a DJ booth. If you have any DJ gear you want to donate, let me know.

Hey friends, a while ago i posted the artwork i designed for ONE NINE NINE FOUR, a film about the 90s californian punk scene. It really is a great film, but due to licensing issues with the music in the film it might not ever see the light of day. The guys are selling shirts to raise money to get this thing out. Head on over HERE to buy one.

This is the print:

BUY A ONE NINE NINE FOUR SHIRT.

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to summer festival!

Here is my new obsession – scanning in dreamy old kodachrome images i have in a stack of magazines that stretch from the mid 1940s to the late 1980s. I used to use colour correction but that totally kills the warmth, the tone of the black is the really special part.

Last week was super hectic. First finished was the Philadelphia Grand Jury album artwork. Amazing album, amazing live show, amazing dudes, above average managment team and bad smelling label guy.

And a few special club events:
