The ones I can't talk about
There are three Project10 projects that I cannot talk about for fear that their very revelation would cause your eyes to burn from their sockets, your ears to melt, and your tongue fall out. That, and the other people involved would be well upset.

The Badger+Bodger Club: This project involves a Badger. All I can say is that if the talk becomes the walk, it will be amazing. We’ve made massive leaps in a short space of time thanks to Badger and the team we're building to run the project. A preliminary launch might be as early as April 1st (TBC).
Triangle: A collaboration with the highly intelligent, and inspirational minds of Matthew Knight,
Hege Sæbjørnsen, and Kate Andrews.
Running: A possible project with a renowned digital ≠agency in London. A brief for a major charity has been received and discussions are afoot.
Lewes: Lastly, but by no means least… Hamish Makgill has introduced me to some fine people down in Lewes – discussions very much happening with regards a new web site and communications strategy.

The VanDoos


Originally called 'Notes' this (now) three-piece band have returned to the table with new tracks including: Tenter Hooks, for which they have asked me to consider doing the video. In light of this, I collaborating with Naughty James. If you don't know him, he's a fantastic stills photographer, who is very, very naughty.

Memories Book


Garrwick Webster has invited me to create a piece for a beautiful book called 'Memories'.
Cancer is such a pervasive killer these days, that few of us go through life untouched by the disease. So Garrick and his bunch of merry writers decided to do something about it by launching the 'Memories' project. The outcome will be a beautiful art book where powerful and touching stories will be accompanied by visual responses from artists and designers alike.
Proceeds from the sales of Memories will go to the charity: Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres.

Art For Autism



I’ve mentioned this piece of work before. It was a piece done in response to a brief which was to appear in a book called ‘Art for Autism’, the brainchild of Ryan Killeen to help raise awareness to the symptoms and/or misconceptions about the condition.
The book unfortunately never made it to the cold light of day, which is a great shame. I really liked the piece of work I created and so (as part of Project10) I've decided, with Ryans blessing, to get it screenprinted, and sold. All proceeds will be donated (minus postage costs/etc) to the National Autistic Society.
Generation Press have kindly offered to get involved and you all know how good they are.







Hvitbryyga (White Wharf)


This building is a project that I have decided to make into a Project10 endeavour. It's a 3,000sq ft fishing wharf building located on a beautiful, small, remote island in the Arctic Circle, North of Norway.
Our plan is simple: Convert it in to two beautiful apartments as creative spaces for rent. With a gallery/space on the ground floor as well as a recording studio.
We are also currently working with the guys up there to help organise this year's Nyksund/Ti ‘Near and Far’; a music, arts, and culture festival.






I have designed the logo basing it on the beautiful shape of the front-facade. We’ve kept the name simple. It means White Wharf. I know, very simple!







D&AD

A few times, I have been invited to write for the D&AD’s, as well as take part in some forthcoming workshops at Plymouth and Edinburgh. This is not necessarily a Project10 project but it’s something I enjoy, and aside from travel expenses. I’m doing it from the warmth of me own ‘eart.

SheSays



SheSays is a fantastic organisation, aiming to support and promote the female talent within the design and advertising industry. Their mantra: 'Digital advertising is changing. We're aiming to get more women into the industry and to the top of it.'
This isn’t so much a project as an on-going fantastic favour for a cause I fully support: far too many men at the helm of the creative industries for my liking.






10 Months
From now until October, I will be donating around ten days of each month to working with, or collaborating on projects with Non-Profit/NGO organisations or just working in their soup kitchen (I used to be a chef).
This is a personal donation of my time each month. Pass it on. Here are my details:

10 Projects/Collaborations
Most Non-Profit/NGO's have their preferred agencies working for them, I'm not looking to tread on any toes. I'm not necessarily looking or expecting live projects, perhaps you want to explore new creative avenue/campaign, or to look at your branding, your strategy or marketing?
This is not about working for free, it is about volunteering and collaborating. I will gladly welcome anyone who wants to work with me on a project. There is no money in it, just goodwill.
Whatever/whoever you are I'd like to hear from you. The only criteria is that what ever work I produce will be exhibited and documented in the public domain.
Time is ticking, so get in touch.

Steve Price, founder of Plan-B Studio, says: “To be honest the last thing I need to do is offer my services for free, but actually that's not important. Ten.TEN.ten is not about ‘giving something back’ - I’m not Bono or Chris Martin. It’s about a feeling. A feeling that this year is going to be amazing, and celebrating ten years of hard work and effort with people who’ve been there for and with me. It is about expanding my horizons, learning and challenging myself and others. Moreover it is about changing the focus on how, where and with who I work."

He continues, because he can (it’s his press release), “I would like to conclude the next tenth months or work in an exhibition that celebrates what can be done, with a book charting the work and my ten years in the industry and where I invite ten of my biggest inspirations/influences to take part in an event. I’m hoping one will be Eddie Vedder, well, a boy can dream.”
