What the client actually wanted

Love this illustration, which so succinctly summarises the journey of a (not so great) project.It reminds me to really dig down and explore what a client is trying to achieve and work more as a partner in crime with them, rather than just an executional entity.

VICE - Ibiza: Spring Breakers Of Europe

Great documentary from Clive Martin & VICE about Ibiza. I'm really pleased they didn't just focus on the clubbing, and showed the other side of island life. Glad to say I saw both sides when I visited this year, thankfully a little more of the nature side than the club side (!)

Click here to subscribe to VICE: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE Ibiza is a place that looms large in all our imaginations, the sun-kissed, beer-drenched rock in the middle of the Mediterranean where all our hedonistic dreams can come true. But what is it that makes people come back year after year to the same tiny island?


Jack Bruce

I was sad to hear of Jack Bruce's passing today. An amazing songwriter, vocalist and bass player. Cream was one of my all time favourite bands growing up, and I loved how the three of them had the audacity to self title themselves the 'cream of the crop' and form the first real superband. (A year before Jimi landed...)

For a trio of just lead guitar, bass and drums their sound was incredibly rich, even when live. And his jazz inspired bass playing just fuelled Eric's long wailing guitar solos, all whilst driven by the maniacal jazz/rock fusion drumming of Ginger. I also loved the fact that during a massive row (pre-Cream) Bruce swung a bass guitar into Ginger's drum kit. Rock and roll.
