Poster junkie!!!

I’ve been flat out over the last week or so doing posters for my bands up and coming tour in March around Ireland. Can’t wait  for the tour to happen, but the crowds won’t turn up with knowing about it, so I’ll be whipping up my paste mixture and grabbing my brush to hit the streets with these soon.

New Distortion Project website launched

Nice one! The brand spanking new Distortion Project Belfast website is up and running. What is the Distortion Project?

The Distortion Project is a Belfast, Northern Ireland based Heavy Metal gig promotions agency and record label. Formed in 2000 with a view to hosting fortnightly metal nights in one of Belfast’s newest night spots (Auntie Annies, on the Dublin Road, Belfast), we quickly established ourselves as gig promoters when we were asked to take over the running of “rocKD” (a shortening of “rock at Katy Dalys.” Katy Dalys is a pub/gig venue situated in the centre of Belfast).

That’s the low down on what they do, and using their new Wordpress website (which means they can control all of the information) they can post about up and coming gigs, new CD releases and get a lot more exposure with greater ease, as before they had to constantly updated their hard coded website… yuck!

Feeling very metal!

Well, I’ll hopefully be launching the new Distortion Project (heavy metal promotions and record label based in Belfast) website tomorrow night, fingers crossed!

And just while I’m in a metal mood, I got around to finally doing the Cork tour poster for Liverpool metal band Carcer City, who are hitting our shores in April.

Check out the Belfast and Cork posters below, created using Adobe Photoshop – and a delightful soundtrack of  ‘ISIS – Wavering Radiant’.

Gacys Threads Music Video

Something I worked on alongside one of my bandmates.

A DIY music video for ‘Nothing Sacred’, clips gathered from www.archive.org/details/stock_footage. A handy place to get open source stock footage.

The video was created using Adobe Premier. Hope you enjoy it!

Getting my finger out!!!!

So here it is the first stage of me getting my finger out of my arse.

I’ve had a portfolio site up since I was in final year university, so what’s that…like 3years, not updated nor moving…. yikes!!!!

So to get me moving, I’ve opted for a new wordpress blog/portfolio. I’ve used wordpress quite a few times on some of my projects, so I’m familiar with it, but as always looking to expand my knowledge.

Any way… check out my ‘work’ section for a quick look at what I’ve been up to.

I’ll be updating and adding when I can find the time.

Fair enough? sweet.
