I still pay the bills by making dance music (when i get chance), running a record label and DJ'ing. The music thing is a joint venture with Matt Thomas under the name "King Unique", and we release the records on our own label Curfew. Curfew and King Unique will act as a running work experience thing for me, that can be done alongside other work placements and college work. I hope that it will be a place where I can test out ideas and experiment a bit outside of the college system.
King Unique and the Curfew label is a joint-venture, and my partner in that business Matt is generally quite opinionated in what he likes, and isn't perticularly easy to deal with. This can be slightly frustrating at times, as I am still fairly new to this, however I'm hoping this is good experience for dealing with clients in future.
This is a graphic for our next release "Yohkoh" (Japanese for 'Sunbeam'). It's still not up to the the kind of standard I'd like to be able to get to, but it is very encouraging to have improved so much and learnt many new techniques since last year, when I couldn't even get this kind of thing together at all. I plan to use the Curfew jobs as a chance to experiment with styles I would use later, learn techniques and develop my Illustrator and Photoshop skills for storyboarding.
