My name is Ben. I am a designer by day and a musician when I can fit it in.

I play drums in We Set Sail, Million and Inside the Whale. I work full-time at Luxxbox as an Industrial Designer and on the side, I run my own creative practice.

Here’s a marginally less riddled-with-jpeg-artefact version of the poster I recently did for Monolith.

Hey check out this gnarly tour with amazing bands on a sick poster that I designed. That is all.

Here’s a segment for my ‘On Tour’ cabinets featured on American television. This is both fantastic and hilarious. Enjoy.

Got some new cabinets made this week. Did a photo shoot yesterday.

Today, I built this.

One of may favourite parts about building stuff is raw metal straight off the tool.

DEAR AMERICA, THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.

In 2 days time my ‘On Tour’ Amplifier Storage Cabinet will be featured in an episode of “I Want That” on the DIY Network.

As the Airdate Notice says, It will be aired on Wednesday the 25th of January at 9:30pm EST.

Several million people will get to see my product. No big deal.

Printed! Noice.

I design stuff occasionally. Here’s three examples of things I have designed with the lads at Luxxbox. I took this photo, and then I ‘shopped the bejesus out of it for a magazine ad.

This is Jess and James. I met James when we were 6 years old. Now I’m designing their wedding invites. It’s a pretty sweet honour to have that opportunity to do something this special for people you love. The art is inspired by Josh Agle, a digital artist that goes under the alias ‘Shag’. Check out his website, his stuff is great.

Option 2. Nice and friendly.

Last night I finished 2 poster options for the upcoming Pecha Kucha event at the Brisbane Powerhouse next Wednesday. One option was risky and the other, a little more radio friendly. You can probably guess which one I preferred.
I’m speaking at this event, so if you’re into a bit of creative wank, come along and have a beer with me while I talk at you.
