"Say hello to my little friend." Part II
This Polaroid photography session was completely spontaneous and therefore perfect for the medium. As is the case since about 2005; the film we had was so old it almost refused to develop, and it was some 8 shots in that Mr Meat appeared - sitting so snappily dressed, amongst the brown matt that proceeded him.

BULA is a European and North American ski hat and accessorie brand, they'd lost relevance with their target market and were floundering.

Virtual high-five baby Bula is back.

Before and After: NOMIS
Dated BC snowboard brand NOMIS, takes a teaspoon of cement and hardens up in the Big Apple, finding the new season palette in and around Soho and the High Line all shot by Gordon Ball. My mate Oli is in there now, re-designing their line, evolving their product and the brand for the better.

I use my little arrow curser friend here in presentations, mostly to denote interactive actions. Sometimes when he presents points he gets a bit cheeky, but I keep my eye on him.
Interesting use of the curser for a crowd sourcing video here.
COLAB#2009 RINZEN + Ogilvy
These decals are the results of a local relevance brief
that came across my desk a few years ago. A great chance to collaborate with
the outstanding talent pool of RINZEN, who head up an all Australian cast
of illustrators, contracted to illuminate their home towns for Amex.
