Why am i not blogging?

I'm posting this because i've just found that some of my friends have kindly linked my blog to theirs (some for longer than others) even though it's inactive, so i think i need to update...

It's been an incredibly difficult/crazy/depressing/amazing/life-changing past few months in my personal life as well as work wise.
I have a new partner as well as a new book that changes every week (it never ends......).
We've had two placements and have a third (and possibly fourth) lined up.
This is as well as a website (coming soooooon) and working on our degree show.

Outside of advertising, i have been working on a short film that i've been working on since 16/02/09
as well as my Illustrations, my comic and my health, fitness and abs :P
Also, my music has sparked again, and i have two home friends who want to get something going jam wise after i finish Uni, and are demanding i write more songs...already!

So it's busy times at the moment, and this blog has suffered (and, dammit, it will suffer more!!) because of all this.
I have some posts lined up that i've been meaning to put up, but it's been put behind all of my other projects.
One is even about the tickle i have with writing a blog in general... more to come when i have finally found all the pieces to my head again :)

Thanks

Ads i like

I love this ad campaign, having only just seen some of the D&AD annual, this was my faviourite, even the text is brilliantly done, the whole text is about the person, but the parts highlighted are the whole thing shortened down.

Bungee Boredom

I've recently finished a brief asking for a short video on our views about boredom.
In answer to the brief, i went up to bradford (from high wycombe) and bungee jumped off a crane, then came all the way back again in one day.

Here were the results...enjoy:

Computers in Love

So here's some work me and a partner (Sam Shaw) made for Mother agency, where the task was to gain the most views ... We didn't win, however we had a lot of fun making this ... enjoy :)

Here was the winner; nice one guys:
