The P1XELS Art of the iPhone exhibition has now moved from its month-long April run at the OCCCA in Santa Ana to the Arty Gallery on South Main St. (at seventh) in Los Angeles. The show runs until early June.
Watch a quick video walk-through of the show.
I have three images in the show: "Cloud" (pictured), "Waiting" and "Floored"
Played a great live show with Greg Fleming and The Trains and Don McGlashan at The Whiskey Live last night. The show was sold out.
The Whiskey Live runs over the entire month of May featuring the cream of New Zealand's artists and bands.
A very small bar means the audience has a chance to get up close to the artists.
The Trains played a stripped-back acoustic set featuring songs from the forthcoming album Edge of the City.
John and Dom from The Trains also played with Don McGlashan (being members of Don's Seven Sisters band).
Just in, a review of Greg Fleming's Taken album by John Apice over at No Depression.
"...if Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, Marc Cohn or even John Mellancamp are your favorites – Greg Fleming fits."
The new My Friend The Chocolate Cake album Fiasco is out now in Australia and iTunes worldwide through Shock Records. I was lucky enough to work on the cover for this release. The front cover collage is by Warwick Jolly (responsible for several MFTCC covers including their debut and "Brood") while the photography is by Pierre Baroni, a Melbourne-based photographer and graphic designer who has produced dozens of album covers for some of Australia's biggest recording artists.
Now in their 21st year, MFTCC are one of my favourite bands, having been introduced to them at the time of their Brood album in 1994 when I was doing work for Festival Records NZ (who at the time distributed the White label). I was fortunate enough to attend their showcase gig in Auckland around that time (one of their only NZ shows thus far I believe).
Fiasco comes as a digipak with a 12 page booklet.
Plans are afoot for a vinyl version in the not too distant future.
As part of the Fiasco project I also designed and produced street posters, street press and web ads and have also designed t-shirts and tea-towels for their merchandising.
MFTCC are currently on tour in Australia to promote Fiasco.
All details can be found at the MFTCC website.
I'll be in Melbourne for the show on May 28th - see you there!
This website is now live. Many more examples will be added to the galleries over time.
