Absolut rock/Absolut gimp...

I think this one is a sexy little motha, and I guess that the chicks really dig it when you slowly unzip it and pour it over a highball with lots of crushed ice and some Valium or Codein.

Gaze in Blockbusters - Welcome to Australia

Ok, so it took almost 20 years for the movie business to catch on using proper music/dreamy shoegaze in blockbusters. Mogwai, GYBE and Sigur Ros amongst others where heard last year, now the smoothness of Explosions in the Sky is featured in the trailer for Australia with N. Kidman. Slowdive, Early Day Miners and Malory next...

Bio-Bak, now in 1000 megapixles (*** stunning ! ***)

I am utterly and totally blown away by this site. Soundcripting taken to a new level, brilliantly executed, great concept and textwork, all fun, and tons of hidden gems. Congrats...

Tip! Use your scroll wheel to zoom and pan quickly, and notice how it effects the sound. You need to find the tools and give them to Tooly first. Thats when the fun starts. (Get some help from the metal detector, activate inside the toolbox)When done put some batteries in the record player and continue exploring. KUDOS!

Sulkybunny and the Red Suicase

Drunk as a Lord, hammered like a sow

Chaucer has "dronke ... as a Mous" (c.1386); and, my personal favorite, from 1709, is, "He's as Drunk as a Wheelbarrow." Medieval folklore distinguished four successive stages of drunkenness, based on the animals they made men resemble: sheep, lion, ape, sow. Anyhuuw - these 3 xqisité examples of packaging can easily trick you into a state where your physical and mental faculties are impaired, OR are they simply so chic that you dont even wanna open the bottles?

Look at the colar on that lil gin beauty. Creds missing on the other 2, help me out!

Love in a package...

Every night I cry myself to sleep being stuck working with stupid ass webdesign surrounded by computergeeks instead of working in a small firm doing packaging and print. Now its kind of 'too late' to go into proper design work, but I guess that is just pure bull. Never too late right!!! RIGHT!? Every single time I start surfing for inspiration I end up on looking at packaging or some intricate typography. Cant remember the last time I saw some really nifty typo on a webpage apart from some half decent spacing here and there. 96% crap....

But hey! Thanks a lot for having 2 of my projects in your new book BigBros.

Go see some packaging over at Vi.sualize.us and TheDieline and GraphicExchange now...
