design, process, research & other bullshit

  • Fresh Meet

  • freshmeet-600x600

    Happenstance magazine cordially invites you to sink your teeth into FRESH MEET, and see what happened when we let some of Sydney’s finest loose on a bunch of body parts.

    With delicious contributions from Ben Ong, Will Loeng, Gemma O’Brien, Jin Hien Lau, Charles Dennington, Daryl Prondoso, Del Lumanta and Rebecca Murphy, FRESH MEET promises an exciting visual feast.

    Come help us put the can back in cannibal from 6pm Thursday July 9, in the basement underneath the Marsu Homme pop-up store, 263 Oxford Street, Darlinghurst. Refreshments provided.

    I’m sick as fuck with swine flu or some shit but I managed to finish this piece for a group exhibition this Thursday, featuring some amazin’ artists and friends, it should be fun times if I manage not to spew everywhere on the night, but I guess that’d be quite fitting. These are going to be hung by meat hooks in a creepy basement. Say hello.

  • New blog

  • With the new domain name comes a new blog. Welcome to the new Ieyeaye blog, featuring ramblings on design, process, inspiration, music and whatever self indulgent bullshit is on my mind. I haven’t had the greatest track records with blogs before, but we’ll see how long this one lasts for.
