The new video for “No Way” from the debut album Passive Me, Aggressive You by The Naked And Famous. Directed by Campbell Hooper and Joel Kefali for Special Problems. These guys can do no wrong.
New Zealand rendered in paint, from my brother Ben’s New Zealand series. Coming soon to a t-shirt near you.
Big thanks to the folks at Pictory for including my photograph of Auckland harbour in today’s showcase of New Zealand and its many wonders. The McCahon-inspired nameplate above is the work of Christchurch designer Tim Kelleher, and fellow kiwi Kris Sowersby had a hand in the creation of the Meta Serif typeface used to display the local trivia scattered throughout the article.
Go see Peter Stichbury at Tracy Williams Ltd.
Illustrator and typographer Jessica Hische is in Auckland to speak at Semi-Permanent. She talked to 95bFM’s Charlotte Ryan about how and why she practises her craft.
My portrait drawn by Peter Stichbury. Quite completely blown away by this. For New Yorkers, Peter’s exhibition entitled “The Proteus Effect” is being hosted by Tracy Williams on West 23rd Street from September 10 — October 30.
Auckland Tumblr Meetup

Full Code Press
Matthew Buchanan and I are down in Wellington for Full Code Press, a 24-hour competition to build a website for a non-profit organisation. This year the New Zealand team are up against the formidable Australians, and for the first time an all-star U.S. team. The competition kicks off in an hour — watch the action as it unfolds!
To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan, and not quite enough time.

Nico: “These Days” latterly from the soundtrack to Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums. I played this countless times when I did shows on 95bFM. (via Audrey Hepburn Complex)
