I  Know its been a while since ive posted on here (mainly because i started a tumbr account, and it seems smoother and faster to use and i have just sort of fell into it). http://mrneedle.tumblr.com/

Anyways ive been beavering away on various things including more club posters for various places, some editorial design and a new project (This Is) Bond.

A project which combines my passion for Bond Films and my love and need to design and create things.

Where The Wild Things Are

October 2, 2009 · Leave a Comment

One film that i have been eagerly anticipating for the past year or so, is the latest outing from visionary director Spike Jonze (Adaptation, Being John Malkovich) “Where The Wild Things Are”. This is adapted from a book of the same name that i read as a child written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak.

The film is due out very soon (Around November, I believe), and i just heard the fantastic soundtrack by Karen O & The Kids (Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs Fame). To say the least I am very exctited, even the posters earthy tones and handwritten font reflect that of the book, yet still give it a new modern lease of life that works very well.
