Utah Saints Homepage

Another Echo deal with Kleber, I was responsible for another Echo website. Joy! Because this time it was for my personal heros, the Utahsaints!
It was the usual story for Echo, they have a daft old website that hardly works and need a spanking new one, to beat the shit out of an old image.
The Utahsaints had been missing in action for quite some time, until they hooked up with some other people who had been missing for quite sometime, to release a plethora of singles, a tie-in with a Japanese game, and much more besides (these guys go on tour for years, not months).

The sites image was cocktailed by myself, a little less extreme than my original intentions, and directed by a guy called Dorian, who left Kleber some months later to pursue other interests. He set-up Kleber with a guy called Chris, who still owns the company to this day.

Sufficed to say, this website was a hit! Unfortunately, the Utahsaints were not. I’m not sure what they are doing of late - but rest assured they’ll be doing it in style!

What a fun dayo at Kleber.
Firstly the guys from +81 come over at 11am to photograph us for their magazine, myself and Dorian were the only ones there for quite a while.
Had an amazingly well spoken English language chat with Toru Hachiga [Editor], Satoru Yamashita [CEO of D-D-Wave, +81's Mother Company] and the photographer / designer - who’s name escapes me but his company is called khgc.

Then, after hours of toiling away on graphics for the beatles helpgame [a few more hundred frames]
Still, the sand is fresh for new tracks on each new day, or some such saying from Dune-Massiah.

chaos

Forget a butterfly flapping its wings in the med and causing a tornado in the Caribbean, try: finding a packet of Marlboro’s on the DLR [train] and then loosing 50 quid from your pocket on the way home when pulling out a lighter…

These things happen I suppose, why to me I’ll never know.
