Back to the blogging, it's been a while.

A lot has changed since my last post and I am now working as Assistant Art Director at Ogilvy & Mather in Paris.

As I now have a job I'll be posting bit's a pieces of side projects I'm working on here is the first...

Aviary is a typeface I've been working on for a friends magazine of the same name, originaly created as a logotype I've been expanding it to a full face and so far so good, more to come once the magazines been launched.

Also while working on a number set for Aviary I ended up creating the numbers above and I hope to expand that to full face over the next month or so, updates to follow. That's it for now, drop me a comment/email if you'd like me to send you a copy of Aviary once it's done.

My new favorite politician

"I leave here as president or they take me out as a corpse."
Ecuadorean president Rafael Correa

Since researching into American politics for my dissertation you get bombarded by fake, glossy passion and caring, in contrast British politics always seems to missing that real conviction and belief. South America on the other hand is where politics is still alive...

Yesterday when Ecuadorian police forces took strike action President Rafael Correa went to a regimental barracks to try to negotiate but was surrounded, punched, doused with hot water and almost blinded with teargas. After being taken to hospital police sieged the building and tried to get into his room by force. On state TV he announced "They're trying to get into my room, maybe to attack me. I don't know. But, forget it. I won't relent. They are a bunch of ungrateful bandits."

As news spread his supporters gathered outside the hospital and which prompting Correa to address them from his hospital window where he ripped his tie loose and shouted "If they want me, here I am, I leave here as president or they take me out as a corpse."

Whether he was right or wrong, and ignoring the reasonings behind the coup I can't help but admire a politician who's that blazon and that passionate.

I can't imagine in my lifetime that I'll ever see or hear a British politician speak with even half of that conviction but I can hope.

Light painting goes high-tech

Just came across this incredible video made by Dentsu London who've invented a technique using long camera exposures to record the iPad moving through space in order to make a stop motion film of 3D light forms.

It's great to see people really playing with new technology and using it to create some great stuff. Enjoy the video.

A big change may be in the horizon

Well it's odd. No longer a student yet not quite a full time working designer. Sorry for the large gap between posts, I think it might be time to kick this off again...

Well I'm on day two of my 6 week job as junior designer at nobrow and all is going well. It's really cool to get a chance to understand and be involved with a company who are really trying to push whats considered printing while still managing to survive.

Definitely a great place for any budding illustrators to spend a bit of time at and amazing to see how much a small company can grow in the space of less then two years.

If you want to see some of their stuff or buy some amazing prints head on over to their site/blog here - www.nobrow.net

On other news might be some pretty exciting updates in the working world of Luke in the not too distant future but we'll have to wait and see about that....
