So it's Billy Ocean performing in Sydney at the ICC theatre, Pyrmont.
And here is the 'Ocean View' looking east across Darling Harbour to the W Hotel and the Cockle Bay Wharf & Promenade.
And, of-course, here is one of his biggest hits from the 1980s, 'Getta Out Of My Dreams....'

I've had a slightly enigmatic little project on the go for a little while now (as I'm really not sure what to do with it) and needed some fake advertising for the reverse side. Hmmm... What to do, what to do? Then in a small flash of inspiration it came to me. I would create a drink advertisement for a nice frosty can of 'Man the fuck up!' Once I had that much locked in the rest of the design pretty much took care of itself.
I would imagine the drink to be something along the lines of an alcoholic power drink (do they even exist?) to be consumed when life conspires against you. A little something that would definitely separate the men from the boys. The online and TV advertising would feature an accompanying soundtrack of a dubstep version of Billy Ocean's 1985 hit 'When the going gets tough' followed by the tagline of 'Feeling tired and emotional? Try a can of Man the fuck up!' read by James Earl Jones. And that would be that. I just wonder what a can of Man Up would actually tastes like...

With today's hectic lifestyle it's no wonder we sometimes feel like we need to crawl into a nice dark cave for a couple of months just to escape a constant barrage of Facebook updates. For times like that I've come up with an advertisement for a (currently) fictional drink. I'm now just waiting for Red Bull to knock on my door to buy the rights.

It's laser cut on wood and then hand painted and even has a little crystal resin on the can to make it look like condensation as if the can is nicely chilled. Drop us a line if interested.

This is a delightful photo of a young lady who's laddered her tights while watching ABC at the Rewind Festival, close to Henley-on-Thames.

This image is of one of the giant festival screens that are hung either side of the main stage. The people in charge of the TV production have processed / treated the original video feed to cartoonise the images. I enjoyed watching the screens and taking the photos :-)

Billy Ocean is my dad. He hasn't been as involved as a father should be. I don't even know if It's fair to call him one but so it goes. At least I know his name and that he is out there somewhere. Thanks to Brian Drowns for documenting this lone happy moment we had.
