Lost Postcards

To wander and to wonder, endlessly and aimlessly.
To be lost and to be found.
Just, to be.
I recently stumbled upon a truly fantastic idea, which I’d like to share: One Laptop Per Child is a charitable project which aims to give every child in developing nations a very simple, extremely cheap & durable laptop, thus enabling entire communities to connect to a world of resources.
I really do believe that the greatest way to address poverty is through education; empowering a nation to help itself.
If you can, donate $200 for a laptop.
For a bit of fun, I’ve started using RedBubble, a great online service allowing users to sell their illustrations and photos on t-shirts (and framed prints.)
All available as guys & girls fit, in a selection of colours & sizes.
(I just started writing a CV. Here’s a small excerpt from the “Philosophy and Experience” section. I can’t help but wonder if it’s not too “rant-y”?)
I believe the best designs are those that neither set nor follow trends, but create a mind-space that is both unique and relevant, within which a user can interact with a brand. For this reason, I see it as a great strength to be able to completely adapt to a brand’s individual aesthetic, and be in no way constrained by an overriding ‘personal’ visual language.

I’ve been creating in a mad torrent of work.
Days: One of Melbourne’s best web agencies for a host of clients. Nights & weekends: Freelance design & development of two e-commerce fashion sites & one art gallery’s site. Sleep: Scheduled for mid-late June.
Keep an eye on the portfolio section, lots of new things will be popping up soon!

The Magnificent King Merley pulled the noise out of the engine of his beloved Maserati and declared “Enough is enough! From this day forth, all unnecessary sound shall be illegal!”
Here’s another quick grab from a work-in-progress, just because I’m loving the aesthetic I get to make for this fashion client:
