La Boca is an independent design circus based in Portobello, West London. They specializing in art & design for the film, music and fashion industries, all industries I’m really excited about but it’s their work on limited edition vinyl record sleeves that I have especially enjoyed.

The series of posters I created for our Summer/Fall concert promo, launched in June 2010.
I dig forests, I dig the ocean. I often use them in my graphic work. They are awe-inspiring, vast and great unknowns. Inspired, unexplored regions wholly alien to our planet all while remaining a part of it. I see canyons in very much a similar fashion as oceans and forests. Both beautiful and both potentially dangerous. There is something electrifying about these places, where that even in pictures something can shake you up, deep down. These are the feelings I often hope to invoke.
These images were created for a new, illustrated edition of William Golding’s Lord of The Flies by (partial Canadian) New York based Illustrator Sam Weber. The interior images are four colour offset. Using contemporary illustration to accompany a much loved classic was an exciting challenge for Weber, made more so by the active involvement of the Golding Estate.

Ever since I began making these Mixcasts, it was my eventual hope I would be able to co-host and co-curate some of these mixes. In some way, this small dream has come true with the Guest Mixtapes I've been able to share with you; but at the end of the day, it was still my voice. At least in the literal sense. All of that changes today as I'm joined by my friend Erik Jack (@erikstocrat). We sat down and picked some of the songs we haven't been able to get out of our heads in the past couple months, as ...
Well spring has sprung (if you ask me, and no, no one did) and you know how I feel about warmer weather. Instead of doing a two-parter spring Mixcast this year, I figured I'd just do a double length. I didn't put a lot of effort into narration for this one, so the good news you get to enjoy more music! Get in the mood with these fine musicians: Amor Fati by Washed Out Weekend by Class Actress Young Silence by Echo Lake Friendship Station by Le Tigre A Visit From Drum by Liars Ashamed by Deer Tick All We'll Ever Know by Parallels Triceratops (CFCF Rmx) by ...
Now this has been a long time coming. The last few months for me have been a ride, to say the very least. January, usually a slow time in my life was quickly filled with personal projects I had been putting off for a long time. I followed up with a lot of people I've wanted to collaborate with, under the assumption about 30%-50% of them would have the time to commit to a collab... imagine my surprise when just about everyone was into working together. Long story some-what short, I asked my friends in Sex with Strangers (@SWSmusic) to put ...
I tried something new last year when I gave you the ...By a Fire Mixtape, an alternative—although not entirely disparate—Holiday Mixtape. An hour long, commercial-free Holiday Mixtape where only 1/3 of the tracks are actual Christmas songs. To this day, I've considered producing another Mixtape in a similar fashion. I know it's nice to be able to put some music on and forget about it. I also hate the silence between tracks on regular Holiday albums so we kill two birds with one stone. Now, enjoy ...By a Fire: Volume 2. Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! by ...
