We laser cut a vinyl record which we then mounted onto a wooden block. We used this as a plate to print 180 limited edition prints on a hand fed Chandler & Price for the Stop Flooding My Record collection exhibition.
In early 2011 I organised and letterpress printed Queenslake: a collection of letterpress prints to raise money for the flood relief effort, with all profits donated to The Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal.
After a push to attract new customers, Queensland Teachers’ Credit Union had lost touch with its core audience – teachers. To get them back, we didn’t just say that QTCU supported teachers, we proved it.
We commissioned Brissie band Blame Ringo to write an ultra-catchy, super summery pop anthem – a new theme song for Dreamworld and a soundtrack for their 2010/2011 Summer Funomenon. We got a renowned director on board and produced a full length music video, which formed the basis of the online, TV and cinema campaign.
We were commissioned to design and letterpress print an engagement party invitation.
A hand crafted and letterpress printed wedding invitation for my wife and I: an American bride and an Australian groom.
As part of the QueensPlaza brand refresh I designed a royal seal. The seal was etched into a steel stamp and then cast in hot wax. Everything was produced in house, a resourceful approach that took several attempts – and we used the office sandwich toaster to keep the wax warm until the impression was just right.

In December of 2010 my wife and I purchased an Original Heidelberg Windmill T-Platen and founded The Hungry Workshop. Together, we print our own projects and some commercial work too.
By exploring the space between modern typographic design and the techniques utilised in wood type display typography I developed the Would Type experiments….
Ten limited edition prints were created for friends and family to celebrate Halloween. The brain was kissed lightly onto the surface of the paper with almost no impression while the custom designed typography has pressed much deeper.
