Mad Max Fury Road Alternate Posters

Being a big fan of alternate posters, I of course wanted to try it for myself. For me, Mad Max Fury Road has been the standout film of the year. So visual, other-worldly, exciting. So many things not explained but if you think about it for a while it all makes sense. 

What I love about alternate posters is they're often minimalistic and stronger for it. Saul Bass is clearly an influence on a lot of them. They're striking and often have a good idea behind them or nutshell the film in a simple but strong image.  Olly Moss is very good at it, a great designer and I love his work. There are others as well.

Mine feel quite simple but I enjoyed doing them.  



A mate of mine had a look at them and while he said he liked them he thought the Furiosa one was the weakest link. Also I realized she really should have her prosthetic arm included since it's such a distinguishing feature of hers. 

I had another attempt and while I like the result it doesn't sit as well with the first ones. It's a bit like a cousin to to the others. Anyway, it's just for fun.

Danny Trejo


This is also not a drawing of me .. it's Danny Trejo, although I've been likened to him more than once.  

I shld be so lucky .. I wish I was half as hard as this bloke.

Iggy Pop


A lot of people think this is a drawing of me. It's not, it's Iggy Pop, who must be a good 10 (probably 15) years older than me which a little disconcerting. Still, I often use it as my profile pic.

New biz card





I figure a good place to restart this blog is with my new biz card. I'm very happy with it. First of all it was designed by my wife Cat so people that like to give me shit about stuff can't really do it because they'll be criticising her not me.

Also I like the colours - and that the design is nice and clean and strait to the point.

Most of all I like the joke and it makes it very locally HK. In HK when you give someone your biz card (or credit card, lai see, sometimes money) you always hold it in two hands with the thumbs on top as you hand it over. The person receiving it will, in turn, take the card with two hands much the same way and then they'll always look at it and clock the information on it 's (it's considered polite). 


So the markings at the top of the card are deliberate - and yes, they're my actual thumb prints! We stamped them, then scanned them in.
