Draft of a Shoei advert, but if I had a bike magazine....and there was no constraints like deadlines and meeting production costs, then some of the feature illustrations would look a bit like this:

Nice to use some of the pics I've been schnappin' around Pukekohe.

Is this actually going to press? I'll let him know he's world famous in NZ!

If you had a magazine, would you employ me (not based on a) the calendar, or b) the amount of time I spend on here)?

[WRT]

Well put together and looks pretty snazzy, but its a bit "busy" for my liking. But then again, I'm no designer, thats for sure.

I had a conversation with whites about the concept and have submitted the attached for approval. 'Should' get the nod - but the boss is away till monday.

Yes - i would employ you - but i don't have staff. that would involve responsibility and....you know....well.....fuck that, that's the co-pilot's gig.

Whites must have sold that XXL Diabolic they had in stock. Let's see how long it takes for an indent order to arrive (three weeks now and counting).

well that's cos you don't have your own mag. but if you did, then that'd be someone else's gig.. they call them money monkeys or summat like that. dunno. they just pay me.
how 'bout contracting then?
I'm bored of my work. I wanna do some fun stuff! fuk, i gotta get out of here.. wanna set up shop?

No - freelancing is better for me.
Tried aquent? - they got me a few nice gigs.

That would be 'cash cows'?

[bugjuice]

yeah, i'm with aquent. they set me up with this job a few years ago. it's a good job, just bored. only so much corporate stuff I can handle. gonna call them next week prob.

anyway, back to the track

I agree - too many words and helmets - commercial reality intervenes.
