BEHOLD, THE POSTER! Weāve been working away on finishing the film, and @__bythea ās STELLAR poster has come in just in time to push us over the finish line!!!! Gaze uponāt and rejoice! š„š
WEāRE SāBACK! š¤
After an unreal couple of years finishing my Masters in Filmmaking, Iām back working full-time freelance for my sins! š„ Thank you to the clients that Iāve worked with alongside my part-time studies, itās been a treat continuing my practice alongside uni, but Iām excited to have 100% of my peanut brain engaged instead of split in half and spread upon toast. š„
If you have any projects needing a CREATIVE DIRECTOR or MOTION DESIGNER or ILLUSTRATOR or PAPER BOY or LAWN MOWER please let me know! š„°
Come redesign my folio with me, with help from @newspaperclub š¤
Back in 2017, when I was a fresh faced dweeb straight out of my engineering degree, I made a graphic design portfolio. The only way I had a chance in standing out, was to do something so wacky, so quirked up, so steezed out with the sauce, so I not only did I print my folio in a world of WWWs, but I did it through the medium favoured by our most respected contributors to society. NEWSPRINT! And youāll never guess what. It worked a charm. People licked and flicked through the pages of middling to below average graphic design, and saw something more: a boy with a dream. š
Now, weāre so back, and Iām having another career crisis that requires a reprint, but levelled up with 8 years of work never before seen on the newsprint page. If you would like to employ me with the best job ever, please get in touch and in return you can get a copy of this tome. Blessings! Jonny Mowat xox š

Some favourite stills from the @bigtelephone music video for ā(Hanging On) By The Boneā! Huge thanks to the cast for getting behind the mental concept with their big hearts and brilliant minds. @cbthorburn as our sorry hookmonger, @pauldock93 as his soulmeat, @ameliabayler as a succubus of yore, @brycecreamvan as our cold hearted businessman, @rorymspence as the pirarenāt, and the Long Angler himself, @martinw2k . The telescope legend @tjturnermedia came through on those peeper shots, and the whole thing was a joy to make. Go watch it!!
