Thirty is the New Twenty

One of my favourite buds, Mr Pan Yiming, turned thirty last Friday.

I made a portrait of him, paying homage to Sheppard Fairey's Obama - Hope poster.

50x70cm print.

I also got it printed in vinyl on two T-shirts for him. Thanks to Eren, Thandi, Koji, Szewuen, Nick, Jamie and Johan for pitching in for the costs incurred! Look how happy Yiming is...


Nick's wife Colleen is such an amazing artist herself... except her artistry is edible! Look at her L337 baking skills: Surfer cake for our surfer friend:



Crazy awesome. <3 <3

Love you bro, happy thirtieth twentieth birthday!

I got a gift from my client for Christmas!







"Sidney - thanks for all your help and support over the last few campaigns. Have a great break ~the team at TBWA & Tequila"



I feel real happy to have this token of appreciation. I bust my ass for just about every single media and creative agency we work with, but few take the time to say thank you. I'm glad Amy and her team were kind enough to send this nice NZ Pinot Noir over!
