Good morning blog. Today I am mostly hungover as yesterday was me & my gf's 9 year anniversary. We went for dinner, had a bottle of wine and decided to go to the pub for more drinks. It was a great night but Im feeling it now.
On another note, I had wild boar with apple and cinnamon for dinner, it was delicious. Never tried boar before, I'd highly recommend it. Yummy.

Something very fishy over at Cunts&Cunter. I asked them yestedray to acknowledge a couple of points - that I would not hand over layered high res files until they agreed to pay my full fees (They have asked they only pay the full fee if they choose to go ahead with my work) and that in the event that they receive my flattened presentation visuals and then choose not to continue working with me, that they ensure my visuals do not continue to serve as reference or direct inspiration for the design they choose to use.
They are getting two people to do this work and say it needs to be production ready and complete by the first presentation meeting on Friday. Because they have briefed two agencies, they don't want to pay me the full amount unless mine is selected.
I say its their mess for leaving such an important piece of marketing material until 1 week before the production deadline before they think about breifing it.
- Cunts&Cunter.. thats for real?kalkal
- No, its a code name to prevent any posts coming up in a google search.Horp
- duh********
- what cunts.********
- if they want to brief two agencies that's fine. But they pay twice, needless to say.********

I don't want to seem pushy but is there any chance of people using http://www.sendspace.com/ instead of rapidshare on the FMTs?
I don't think theres any limits associated with that site, no wait for downloading things one after the other either, just a suggestion
- that seems a bit pushy mate..
people aren't using rapidshare because it's a better option, it's because all that musicneue75_bold - already is sitting on rapidshare..neue75_bold
- Sorry, I was under the assumption that people uploaded the music they already havekalkal
- And as I said, I was just making a suggestion, not implying I think people HAVE to do thatkalkal
- nup, you can search using this http://loadingvault.… and many other rapidshare se's...neue75_bold
- I was just teasing man :)neue75_bold
- I really can never tell any more :P nice link btwkalkal
- that seems a bit pushy mate..

well fuck those guys horp, in no remotely just world do clients get to have their cake and eat it to that level.
- no matter how sumptuous and caramel dripping that cake iskelpie
- Aye, I know. Thing is they've gone silent since I asked for that assurance, not a peep in reply.Horp
- surely means they were planning to fuck you and now aren't sure how to frame their reaction?kelpie
- I have found marketing at big brands always believe they are doing you a favourkelpie
- Think of the exposure!********
- Exactly Kelpie. They emailed to confirm 'flat files would be ok' and conveniently missed off 'we promise not to rape you'Horp
- Now they just wont reply to any requests for that . I coudl call, but a phone call is nothing, I need email assurance.Horp
- they're in the huff cos you call them out. Not to be sexist but they're women aren't they?kelpie
- (I'd be massively surprised if that wasn't the case)kelpie
- They are Kelpie. You have an uncanny 4th sense.Horp

I lost my patience in yet another 'is design art' thread. I hate those threads, the people who post those threads, and the people who struggle with that question. I include myself circa 2000 in that list. Then I got a job.
- Yeah but you answered it quite well I thought.ian
- cheers, and I did get that thing written in the end! up till 3am though :(kelpie
- haha, was just wondering about that this morning. Fuck it, at least it's done now, eh?ian
- I, too, refuse to be a part of that tired discussion. Except, that's a lie, I'll say it here...blaw
- Design = commercial use (loosely defined, of course).
Art = for the fuck of it.blaw - Even under the cover darkness I regret typing those words. It's a head-against-wall thing, no matter what.blaw
- hahaha. I know what you're saying, I just think the question itself is the only thing that creates any issue with it, you know?kelpie
- Exactly. Well put.blaw

I just realised I was berating, out loud, a tube of white oil paint for hiding amongst the gouache.
Surely, surely that alone makes me a bonafide artist, even if my work is not up to par.
