Rainyyyy

Today's all rainy here in Sunny Perth. I'm putting up a pic I took on Hayman Island last year just to taunt myself. Those were the times.
Ps. Does anyone want in Perth to buy a car? It's a '91 Corolla sedan with AC CD and many other good acronyms. It's real good.

Awards Time Again

Awards. They really sort the men from the other men.
Hours of work with a scalpel and thousands of dollars later, we have a neat pile of award entries ready to go (hopefully not to their gruesome deaths). At this point I've started thinking that the agencies who don't enter awards have it right. Actually, it was at the point where I had to mount the radio scripts on sturdy black card. I don't think spray-glue is good for your reproductive options.

Help Me Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Have I mentioned how much we like all you guys? My friends? My faithful readers? My fellow advertising types? People who've just come here by mistake? May I mention how you're all looking really good today?
Oh, I just remembered... you may have heard of Threadless, the insanely cool online tshirt design competition. I (your best friend Rikki) have entered a few submissions but the only way we can win is to get them votedfor (see previous post and previouser post). All you have to do is sign up - they don't spam you and it's free, you can even forget about them straight after - and vote like this:
And then tell everyone you know to do the same and then put it on your blog :) Don't forget to leave a comment on threadless saying how much you like it, cause they take comments into consideration too!)
Begging: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go here and vote for Rikki's submissions, I'll love you forever. Even more than I already do. Did I mention you have nice hair?

My First Wittle Design

My first threadless design is ready for all your votes!
I'll make a real post about this in a coupla days when the others are ready, but in the awaiting times, clicky on the picture and go vote for me, lovely friends. (If you leave a comment on the site the judges actually read them) I love you all collectively like you were a cute little chinchilla.

Scribblin' with Josh

Check out my new button on the left there... that's where you click to go to Threadless and buy tshirts so's I get free money from them ok?
If you haven't heard of them, it's an ongoing tshirt designing comp where if your design is chosen for printing and sale you get lots of cool things like money.
I've got a few designs I'm hoping they'll approve in a few days, so be ready for me telling you all to go there and vote for them!! Why not sign up now so it'll be quicker to vote for me later? What a good idea.

Hostage Situation at the Agency

Twas a quiet afternoon at TBA, when sirens awoke us from our slumber. I mean work. Actually, there weren't any sirens, but there was a scruffy lookin' hobo outside our door using the carpet as a urinal. At first we thought he was the new Art Director, but we decided he wasn't so we called the cops like any self respecting bourgeois advertising types would.

Luckily, our office area is keypad locked, but unluckily, the meth-man was sitting outside the door. We were trapped like a bunch of little girls in a... box.

So the cops show up, then 2 CIA men (could have been MI-5).

Then the cops got backup.

Then some sailors came to help.

Check out the face down handcuff action... complete with woman on left with tazer.

And then we were safe, thanks to our friends the Policemen.

The End.

"Happy Birthday" ain't cool.

I made a cake on the weekend. So I had this idea that everyone should give me their best atop-a-cake slogan, and i'll make my favourite into a real life cake*. So... commence then.

*not a real promise.

A New Career Highlight.

Take that, Perth landmarks.
Co-credit must go to James, I spose.

Top Gear = Most Cool

Everyone who doesn't watch Top Gear, go and watch it immediately. The BBC car show is shot beautifully, is hilarious, and most importantly, chases new cars with army tanks. I would kill people to have a teeny portion of their budget to make a 30 second ad.
I'd kill them with an army tank.
