Before the carnage. And before some arsehole stole one of our teammates gear bag, phone and car keys while we were on the court. Find my Phone located them but the police won’t act on that data to follow up. 😡

Web client: “please can you include some minor Japanese influences, that would be cool,”
Me: ?

So, what’s your take on cool Japanese websites please?!

I’ve this new alarm clock that is supposed to gently wake you with a gradual warm light, like a sunrise. Maybe I need to get used to it, or set it differently because I lost an hours sleep as it seemed like a fireball was burning my eyeballs an hour earlier than expected.

Posts was a good place to visit because of you.  Take that with you, inject it into other parts of your life. This way Posts will last forever.

Heartbreak aside for a moment - and given the speed at which Posts will be gone -, is anyone else wanting a replacement? I’m keen to keep the spirit of Posts alive and up for building something. If you’re interested, register your interest here: https://tally.so/r/3EvVP4 🧑‍💻❤️

It’s been ages since I had a decent MTB ride. Today we changed that.

Based on reviewing ~80 product design portfolios so far, it is clear that Framer is winning the designer mindshare. If you're looking for your next gig, join us: https://app.dover.com/apply/6726b05f-e06d-4fc7-9a12-844d0d7c0dd9/7fefd873-14fa-4d9f-a997-98f46de2b829/?rs=15190316

I picked up a focus rail today. It’s a game changer for my macro hobby.

Another call out. The client has an old chopper that they supposed to be using today for real rescues, but the pilots just want to use the new toys. Which means we have another delay before the next location

Because I can’t use After Effects for shit I’m editing every frame of this loop in Photoshop 🤦

@caspianievers.bsky.social 🦋 if this this the next stop on the journey together.

In case you are wondering what creative people should be paid in NZ here’s the latest data

A 15 minute dumb idea I had this morning. Sometimes I wonder where the hell my career path is going. And then silly things like this reassure me that it’s going to be alright. 
— Name this movie…

Weekend end walkies. 11km with a full pack. Home now. It was brilliant

Of course there happed to be a real emergency while we were shooting. So we have some downtime while we wait for the chopper to return.

For the second time today the team have been called out to a rescue. Even though they have a spare chopper they want to use the new one. Guess it’s lunchtime then.

Sometimes I actually work on some old school design stuff too. Teamed up with a colleague to wrestle these letters into shape. Much harder than you’d think…

I volunteer as tribute. 🙋 If you're interested, make yourselves know: https://tally.so/r/3EvVP4

I’m giving a talk today. It’s not what I am best at. Or what I enjoy most. But I can’t wait to share this slide. It says a lot despite being so simple.

I just registered posts.club, and added a link to your form on there. I'll be updating the site as community initiatives unfurl :)

“Our clients are people who find $50 million…”

Excuse me… what ‽ This actually happens enough to make this businesses a thing? Wow. What’s the most you’ve found? I once found £200 in a bush and bought a flight for a surprise visit to my girlfriend.

TIL blues and the didgeridoo are a magical instrument combo. ✨

The universe and I have worked things out. I got to go on that hike that I missed earlier. While I had plans for some alone time with my camera I met some really interesting people as well. One of whom was super excited to tell me about this girl he’d just met… 🧵

Visited the hanger, met the pilots, discussed our vision. Fun fact: it costs over $10,000 p/h to fly a helicopter so you need to plan everything well. Tonight I need to go over my shot list to ensure the run order is as efficient as possible. Tonight we rest.

I rarely make spontaneous purchases, but having just discovered the amazing world of Japanese camping equipment I couldn’t resist this tiny camping table I found in a shop this afternoon.

I’ve been working on my ‘artist bio’ for an upcoming project launch that might change everything. With the help of Arty Bollocks (Google it) I’m nearly there. It’s almost the right balance of wtf and thoughtful nodding. 🙂

Two days in a row of everything that can go wrong going wrong. Sharing it here in the hope that I can release it into the wild, the same way I share ideas.

Question to you all: where shall we go next?

I might have to rethink my dislike for Apple Intelligence because this is the prefect custom emoji for my dog.

I work at KISSLabs. I’m now working with my 3rd company that is either X Labs, or have a X Labs produce/service. Is this normal? Anyone else have a /Labs client?

A photoshoot I’ve been hoping to direct has been greenlit today. We get to fool around in helicopters around NZ and I couldn’t be happier. Concepts 👇

We came 4th, and I also managed to get another goal. So I’m very happy. And exhausted.

Camping essentials. A bonus when you when you find wild mint for your tea.  🌱

Sometimes magic just happens. Zero edits with this photo. 😀

A very special adventure today: we found a waterfall. And we were brave enough to jump in. Also zero edits with this photo.

Choppers done. And now heading homeward. But first a detour up a volcano.

Another behind the scenes shot at the end of a flipping long day. I'll share the finals somewhere else when we have finished the editing so follow me elsewhere if you want to see the results.

There aren’t many more opportunities to post my weekend trips here. But while I can I will.

I’m off on that helicopter shoot I told you all about a while ago. Might share some behind the scenes stuff here.

— When all this is over, will there still be weekend walkies?

— Of course.

— Can we have one now?

— Absolutely, let’s go!

Has anyone come across any platform agnostic tools/apps for editorial design/report design? A client is threatening to use Canva for their reporting. I feel there have to be better solutions that are digital first (but can also export a pdf) which excludes Indesign for them.

Morning friends! A big weekend of action ahead. Limited sleep behind me. Pretty sure Dante had a circle of hell devoted to people who snore loudly in campsites.
