I came home Thursday night with a temperature of 41 degrees so I’ve not been very ‘with it’ for the past couple days but I am coming right again. Damn chest infection grrrr. I don’t have time to be sick atm so on damn good flu drugs and getting through a pile of assignments. First week back at uni and they have completely inundated us with big assignments and a very tight deadline. As it is I have spent all day creating forty A3 size typography designs. I have about 5 A3 pencil drawings to do and some research for another assignment. So yes, yet again impy is boringly busy and acting like a complete space cadet. But hey, whats new?

What keeps me going when I am running on low?

Heh music … one of Three Days Grace’s latest toons … ‘headbangs sideways’

Fuck you and your pompous shit. Fuck the scene fuck that shit, fuck the sheep, fuck the hipocrisy, fuck the crap. Fuck you to the ones who said I couldn’t, fuck you to the asshole who walked away and then tells me what to do, fuck you to the people who don’t believe, fuck you to the asshats who can’t get their shit together and have ten billion excuses. Fuck you. I do things my own way. Get out of my way or I’ll mow you down.

Storm Thorgenson (born 1944) is one of those people I am in awe of, an english graphic designer well known for his work over the past 35 years designing album covers for rock bands. And in my opinion, one of the best album designers in the world.

The amazing thing is that many of the album covers were designed before Photoshop and other advanced computer design software was created, so Storm often used just photography, paint and sculpture instead to create these masterpieces.

He is best known for creating the many album covers for Pink Floyd and various other album covers for The Mars Volta, Muse, Cranberries, Audioslave, Bruce Dickinson, The Offspring, Powderfinger, and many more.He also was part of a British art design group called Hipgnosis that specialized in creating album cover art and dealt with bands such as Led Zepplin, 10cc, Bad Company, AC/DC and Genesis to name a few.

So why am I w riting about Mista Storm? because I have worked my butt off for the last few days and managed to win a couple of design comps that have enabled me to attend a design event here that means I get to see Storm and hear him talk. Fucking fantastically excited He is fascinating to listen to ….
