PARTY

My nephew - Phoenix Cooper Wilson
Now everyone say “AWWWW” and melt

I have a vague plan, but as long as I have a job i’ll be sweet - i’ll be staying at Jake Whale and Sarah’s party pad until I find my own four walls, which hopefully wont take to long … I’ll work for 12 months or so, save as much as possible, and then switch to part time and finish my course at RMIT! Once Aikko is done beating off to shoes everyday, he’ll come down too haha

As nervous / sad as I am about leaving, i’m extremely excited to move - to hang with friends I don’t see enough, new people, being independent, partying, LOTF, and just being in Melbourne city full stop! I’m really hoping this all goes well, and without the people helping me out now it wouldn’t be possible - so Jake and Sarah, and Tom, and everyone else, I really appreciate everything you’re doing to help me out at the moment <3

I’ll see you soon

I’m getting my shit together for Melbourne, hopefully it’s sooner rather than later …

Not sure if everyone already knows, and i’m totally late on the bandwagon, but everyone needs to listen to This Town Needs Guns <3

This is something i’m working on developing - I hope it hasn’t already been done

I love my iPhone, and black and white

The photo of me is taken by Kiel, I dig

This is the final logo for ECO Fueling - it’s my first corporate logo, and it’s been approved so i’m actually moderately enthused on that

I think my monitor needs to be calibrated …
I also would like to be able to shoot higher than ISO 500, without grain
Give me a D300 please

The start of many to come
Jake Rolfe extraordinaire <3

The last few days I have spent nearly every waking hour doing work on assessments for college - it is my own fault though, I will always leave things to the last minute

I feel so distant from you lately, and on Thursday i’ll be even further from you than I am now - things just aren’t the same, you don’t seem to care

I just want to get out, and this next week is going to be that amazing - good mates, party times, Ceremony, Miles Away, tattoos, and i’m sure there’ll be much more to post about

STAY CRUEL

“Life in shambles - Can we agree this is too much to handle? Life in shambles - Over fighting this losing battle!”

It is amazing

Oh how i’d love this beauty

How good is inspiration / realisation that your own work is shit haha

“My girl, my girl, tell me why you look so sad … Has the sun finally set on us? Have you come to long for another’s hand? There’s a feeling inside me that something’s leaving - like someone stealing salt from sea - left me sinking and left me thinking, how to keep you caged with me. Because I fucking need you, like air to breathe - just to hold you, o’ I hold you, o’ how I hold you - I hold you down … Down with my insecurities, down with my hypocrisy, down with my pathetic pleas, down instead of setting you free, to find your happiness with or without me. So untie your feet, reattach your wings, so you don’t have to open your throat to sing. Because if it’s you I love, then from you … I’d walk away, walk away - and your face; on every leaf, of every branch, of every tree … “

I think I have an eye infection, delicious

College is like doing your favourite subject at school, every day - it rules

I was playing with meshes in Illustrator for the first time today, shit’s pretty cool …
I handed in one assessment, only to received another one, uh - not to mention the one due on Friday

This is the meshing stuff I did today - Granny Smith > Pink Lady

I went to edge of the world today

Dean, Kiel and myself made the most of our Sunday and went for a drive - lots of laughs, cliffs, photos and good times - it’s days like these you don’t forget

I don’t think I have ever been so frustrated before - i’m trying to make this work

Anyway, not in the mood, but here’s some corporate logos i’ve been asked to do for work, something about a new partner or something, whatever.

I’ve had minimal / no past experience with logos, so this is my first decent attempt. Not sure where i’ll go from now, or which ones i’ll put forward - I just wanted to post them

Actually, not homo, I love lomo - I actually really want and LC-A+ …
Anyway, here are some (what I could find) shots off my Fisheye 2 and SS
I might scan some other ones in later

Also, flights are booked for Melbourne for Sike Your Mind - Me and Aikko will be down from the 18th - 27th September. It is going to rule so much - there’ll be many photo ops
Hit us up and come hang - we have 10 days to fill, and will eventually get sick of LOTF (so Aikko says)

Queensland escape next Friday, I cannot wait

No photos from QLD, didn’t take any
I guess I ruined the weekend

I seem to find a way to fuck up everything, or things between those that mean the most to me

I find problems I’m a fucked up kid
I’ve got problems, I’m alone again
I find problems I’m a fucked up kid
I’ve got problems, I’m alone again

I’m sorry

Tomorrow afternoon after college I’m going to Queensland again, my second home I guess - I’m up there enough … No, but seriously, I love it up there, Frosina is there and I love being with her, and I just enjoy being away from everything / everyone else … I’ll post some photos when I get back - not that there’ll be much to take photos of …

Please keep Matt, his family, and all his friends in your thoughts and prayers

I wanted to post as many photos as I could from the last 12 months, but that would be way to much effort, so here’s just a few - they are from my trip to America last November, a few live shows, trips to QLD, and other crap (these are in no order, completely random)

Enjoy

I did have this running and up to date fairly regularly, but the guy I happened to hook up the free hosting through, disappeared - so down went my site QQ
I’ve finally managed to be bothered to pay the bones myself and get it back up, so here it is

I’m not sure how often i’ll update it, but bookmark it (or even RSS it) and you’ll find out soon enough
