Recently back from Seoul after making an exhibition with British artist Sir Peter Blake for the Bean Pole fashion label.
Paddy Mehan, curator, asked if I’d be interested in creating an installation with Peter around the idea of cycling. The three of us worked out a plan whereby I’d project film images onto Peter’s prints.
Together with Tota Hasegawa, we included infa red sensors to turn projectors on and off whenever a visitor walked nearby. So the exhibit changed and responded to interaction.
All the films run as continuous loops. I used repetition to convey the action of cycling. Watching the same film loop over and over forces you to see new things at every replay, it’s very theraputic drawing in the viewer meditatively.
That’s where the title for the show came from. The cyclical nature of the images and the outcome.

nice article in grafik 177 on the lea shores artwork and in virtual typography on the trainspotting titles – (still milking it after 15 years)

so thankyou robert (grafik) and matthias (virtual typography).

playing with original tomato typefaces x 4 and a very old haiku. more soon (with luck)

foil blocked lines on coloured stock – will it, won’t it?

double page article in july’s creative review on the nouvelle vague artwork

despite tomato’s brave attempts to save the multinational GM corporation through creativity alone, it looks like our efforts may have been made too late!

Two new tv spots built entirely from CG elements. the car shots, although computer generated draw from precise live action sequences, lit and shot as if to use in the final edit. Tracking, lighting and camera moves were all processed so that we could integrate the vehicle into each scene.

Archive footage of Richard Nobel and Børg Ousland, both pioneering characters, appear on the projection screens made of light that float above the car. The films are modular, allowing any celebrity to be dropped into the projection layers in future cuts.

These spots were for the new General Motors “Cruze” model.
The brief was to create a 45 second commercial featuring the car exploring a landscape built up from light projections.
As we make our way through shards of light, the story of a maverick individual unfolds on the screens around the car.

The car was shot performing various maneuvers and turns around a pre set course.
The camera data, including any imperfections, as well as the lighting information were then extracted and applied to CG models of the car in it’s rebuilt environment. Each shot was completely recreated from scratch.
This allowed the projection screens to be created and dropped into the scene while maintaining complete control over environment and reflections on the car.

The ads play so that new individual stories can be rendered into the projection screens. This allowed a series of stories to be created around one cut.

Spreads from the book are featured in the projects list to the left.

to set the tone for this new language, simple no nonsense black and white portraits showing a classic piece from each style were conceived for the background imagery. roger rich took the helm and shot a range of single and multiple models that show the nuances and cut of each piece perfectly and with that lyle and scott attitude it takes to wear them. vintage worn by jamie, heritage by vinny, club and golf by joe and cecile.

all product was photographed flat and appears on a slightly transparent background, allowing the brand imagery to layer through and further create beautifully odd crops. hats off to pete theideke and gabrial lloret for wading through the five hundred odd pieces and keeping focus. all the code and back end work was done the boys at chapter 8 in leeds.

tomato were approached to create visuals for the re launch of the ford ka. three neo realistic vistas based on the idea of ’seek and you will find’ were made. false perspectives and abstracted forms within each setting allow odd references and multiple distorted vehicles to hide away for viewers to search out.

please be gentle it’s been a while
