Check out my bro performing at a gig with his V High P crew in Rocket earlier this year. This is a sampler of the night, Andy features at about the 1.30 mark so check it. He's producing for a few emcees at the moment and will be spitting rhymes on a track with Social Change on an upcoming Butterthief release, as well as producing a few tracks on it.

This is the best advert I have seen in my entire life.

Hitachi are a client where I work. This ad from the 80's amazes me. How it got through the client I can't comprehend.

A Brief Visual Journey of Elliott's European Experience

2007-04-27T03:29:00.000+09:30

Rome, Italy. Get a picture taken with a real soldier and pay euro.

Venice, Italy.

It seems a little backwards, mobile phones in gondalas. They are the main mode of transport in Venice.

I saw her in Munich, Germany.

A skate video is being filmed, the ledge in the background is where Hitler made a famous speech at the start of World War 2. Munich, Germany.

Stony beach. Not good for lovers. Nice, France.

Nice, France. It was cold. Loner.

Hey everyone, I saw the Eiffel Tower (like it matters).

His name is Ben, he is a cook from the east coast of Australia. He likes to have a few drinks and take his pants off. St Goar, Germany.

"Let's pretend we're holding up the tower!"
"Yeah, no-one's done that before!"

Do people without use of their legs dream of swimming? Lucerne, Switzerland.

Quick take a photo of something famous. The Louvre, Paris.

Breakfast bar baby. Mt. Pilatus, Switzerland.

Congrats to Daniel To who won the Beck/Nooka challenge. Daniel says if he could design anything for Beck it would be "a robotic pirate monkey that would sit on his shoulder while playing the harmonica. This would make him happy."
There's no doubt this would make Beck happy--but are you sure he doesn't have one already? Well, congrats again to D.T., and if you really liked the watch, snag a non-free one for yourself at Nooka.

Subject: Adelaide Fringe Poster Competition Exhibition

Dear Elliott,

Congratulations! Your entry in the 2007 Adelaide Fringe Poster Competition reached the top 20. We received almost 200 entries and they were of such a high standard that judging proved quite difficult. Though your entry wasn’t the winning design, it was right up there and we’d like to recognise this by featuring it in an exhibition in late November.

We’ll be in touch in the near future to let you know all the details. Please let us know if you would not like your entry to be included.

Thanks once again for entering the competition and congratulations on your impressive work.

Kind regards,

Melanie Joosten

Yes the astronaut could use a real illustrator but the essence - as a campaign (ie street performers, venue staff, etc) - the lunar theme would be awesome. For people who don't know, it's a poster competition to shape the look of the Fringe > this is my entry.

And you thought media censorship was defeated in this age of myspace, google earth, government transperancy and so forth. Time to get scared kids. As Australians we shake our heads at our presumed knowledge that generally Americans are a victim of their government and media - suckered in to believing what we think to be lies > Bush's election to name but one.

A guy on myspace had his account kicked because he posted the above video. Oh did I say myspace? Perhaps I should have said FOX Corporation. Yup, you can hear the pieces clicking into place. Everyone who has a myspace account - don't think they aren't monitoring you and recall that all accounts and legalities are under US law (that box you had to click "agree" to get the account).

Media censorship has done so much damage already, how much will it take before we see a change? And yes, they are influencing what you think.

End of doom prophecy.

2006-09-26T14:00:00.000+09:30

Okay, so they come up to my desk right. I turn and look at them, they hold a pile of job sheets. Fear grips my heart - what is it? what could they possibly make me do now?

They slam them onto the table top and my eyes race to see the client description – Foodland! Oh no! How could they do this to me? I'm so good to them, I don't deserve this, they know I don't want it. The production manager looks me in the eye and I know this means business, I'm going to have to do work for a blatantly cheap, friendly retail supermarket.

I hear the brief, their mouths opening and closing but my eyes are a little glazed over and I only hear a muffled sound, as if I am not there. I stare the the empty screen momentarily, before I realise what I must do. This banner, to be installed over all checkouts in Sefton Park Foodland must be done one way... the Elliott way.

So i just got home from a gig i went to with quilly tonight. It was actually really really good but thats beside the point. I got back to my car to find it had been broken into! that's the third time. I now have two stuffed locks so i cant lock the car. I have to leave one door unlocked all the time untill i get them fixed. Stuff was chucked all over the place, my ash tray was emptied and everything else just thrown all over the place. I looked around for a while and figure out that only three things had been stolen. Here's a list of what was in my car and your job is to guess what was stolen. Only 3 thing were taken.
CD's
money in ash tray
red/white vans
work shoes
work shirt
work pants
tie
back pack
sleeping bag
pillow
beach towl
6 pack of beer
If your guess correctly you get a hug. Answers will come tomorrow when im not so pissed off!

FC Far Q def Eschutheon 8-7
Wow what a game! These two teams put on a good show. I can’t give too many details of fantastic plays as I had to referee the game, but from what I can remember; Dan’s swift backhanded pass out of goal to a running defender was tenacious. I think it was Simon? (Curly) who scored some excellent individual goals for Eschutheon? Joe in goals for FC made some brilliant saves, Matt’s speed was blistering for FC and Tony scored quite a few goals too! Overall it was a great game and once again poor Eschutheon just couldn’t win it, but the boys sure give it their best.
Best for FC Far Q: Tony, Matt and Joe.
Best for Eschutheon: Simon, Peter and Ben

We had to learn the chorus.

2006-07-25T12:30:00.000+09:30

A host of Adelaide personalities including Claire P, Andrew Teague, Alice & Lucy Potter, myself and my bro Andy all feature in this highly anticipated multi million dollar production of a music clip. Actually it was filmed on a horribly cold, overcast day in the reserve next to my house for the smallest budget in MTV history. We just rocked up in the morning as extras and they made us into a character. I appear as a ninja, my brother as a mechanic, and pretty much everyone else just wore crazy colours and outfits.

Everyone features in the chorus, which yes, we had to learn the words to (just ask anyone who was there to recite it, they still know it and if they claim they don't, they are lying). The clip was filmed at twice the speed so what you're watching is at half the speed. Interesting.
