Saw this the other day, loved the film adaptation of the book and this billboard totally works but is it really ‘the perfect billboard’? I wonder how effective it actually was at an audience unfamiliar with American Psycho.

“The Perfect Billboard. Eggshell white with romalian type. Nice. Raised lettering, a subtle 7 inch bone border, and just look at the tasteful thickness of the headline. All perched on four evenly spaced 3.2 metre powder coated stanchions. My god, it even has a watermark.”

Started a placement at robsondowry today recently ranked 53 in the south west top 100 creative companies 09, well I was impressed!

18 x 24″ Screen Print, Signed & Numbered, Edition of 450 made for artists for peace and justice in a collaboration with Studio Number One’s Cleon Peterson, Casey Ryder and Shepard Fairey. Photography by Tao Ruspoli with all proceeds going to Haiti. There could be no better reason to buy a beautiful limited edition art print, obey.

I myself am in the process of submitting a poster for the haiti poster project again with all proceeds going to Haiti. More on this when I figure out what I’m doing for it, if your an artist or designer get involved!

“We’ve used Matt’s services on several occasions and each time he has produced excellent work. Along with great creative skills and a friendly manner, we have found Matt to be very pro-active, efficient and punctual. He is great at working from a brief as well as generating ideas from scratch. We would recommend him and look forward to working with him again soon.”

This is hilarious, but is it real?

Hello David,

I would like to catch up as I am working on a really exciting project at the moment and need a logo designed. Basically something representing peer to peer networking. I have to have something to show prospective clients this week so would you be able to pull something together in the next few days? I will also need a couple of pie charts done for a 1 page website. If deal goes ahead there will be some good money in it for you.

Simon

Dear Simon,

Disregarding the fact that you have still not paid me for work I completed earlier this year despite several assertions that you would do so, I would be delighted to spend my free time creating logos and pie charts for you based on further vague promises of future possible payment. Please find attached pie chart as requested and let me know of any changes required.

Regards, David.

It gets even better, read the rest.
