Next Thursday, July 29th Glug London presents DixonBaxi at Cargo to host this month’s Glug evening. While they will be talking about their way of working they’re bringing along some friends to speak about their own work, including photographer Jason Tozer, director Cassiano Prado, and my good self.
Come along and share in some free drinks, BBQ, and good atmosphere.
Tickets are available now via the Glug Meetup group!
See you there!
New beginnings.
So the cat is out of the proverbial bag… After eight(!) years I am leaving Kleber, and move on to join Studio Output as their new Digital Creative Director to help them strengthen their offering in the digital arena:
Studio Output have hired award-winning Belgian designer Tom Muller as their new Digital Creative Director. The appointment comes as Studio Output builds up their in-house digital arm due to increased demand in that medium.
Tom spent the last 8 years as creative/design director at Kleber Design Ltd, world renowned for their forward-thinking and award-winning interactive work in the entertainment and media industries. He has worked with clients including Sony Music, MTV2 and The Pet Shop Boys.
Dan Moore, Creative Director of Studio Output said “We’re very excited about such a shining light of the online design community joining us. We’ve long admired Tom’s work and look forward to pushing our offering into the digital realm.”
Studio Output is a highly creative company working with clients including Sony PlayStation, BBC, Arts Council England, Ministry of Sound and HMV.

Without sounding too gushing this is an exciting time, the job has incredible potential, and with a range of interesting projects in the pipeline I’m looking forward to flex my creative muscles and get to work.
Having said that, my time at Kleber has been fantastic. I’ve made some good friends, learned an awful lot about how the industry works, and realised that a few good men can do a lot of work. Alas, all good things come to an end, and while part of me will miss some of the trappings of the old job, I feel the timing is right for a change and do New Things. I’ve always liked the versatility of Studio Output, and when our paths crossed last year when Kleber created their new website, it was a no-brainer to join them when they offered me the position.
A huge thanks to Chris and the extended Kleber family for the interesting ride these past 8 years — I look forward to follow Kleber’s future projects (and possible collaborations) from the other side — and I will see Team Output in 2 weeks time after my busman’s holiday!
To be continued…!
Life in 2050 exhibition — 'The Scallop Divers of Enceladus'
Life in 2050 is a forthcoming exhibition (April 22nd—May 4th 2010) at the Proud Central gallery in London as part of the 9th SCI-FI-LONDON Film Festival.
Leading and emerging visual artists from around the world were commissioned by curator Transmission to imagine what the future holds 40 years from now.
I’m very pleased to announce that I was one of the invited artists to participate, and for the exhibit I created ‘The Scallop Divers of Enceladus‘, an imaginary propaganda poster if you will for the (equally imaginary) International Saturn Exploration Initiative (I.S.E.I).
More info can be found here and at the exhibition site where you can also buy editions of the print.
Larger images of the print can be found on Flickr.

I just updated my other site ximeraLabs. Well, I say ‘update’… all I did was add a new splash/holding page — whatever you want to call it. The last time I updated the site was in 2006! But thats the way it goes I guess. XimeraLabs started life as my primary website in 2000-2001 — part graphic playground, part portfolio. Over the years there seemed to be less and less need to do something with the site as a creative outlet, mainly because I launched this site in 2003, and focussed all my attention here. Adding to that fact that I could/can use work as a creative outlet, setting aside time to populate ximeraLabs with experiments for the sake of experimenting became a moot point.
Anyway. During the past few years I’ve collected a load of (unused) work, failed experiments, tests, etc… that I think have more life than just slowly rotting away in a folder on a drive, so I think its time to start remixing and putting out content again.
I have just updated our /Mr and Mrs M./ website, adding projects Liz and I have been doing recently, including a lot of work for German fashion duo Felder Felder, who we’ve been working with since 2007.
Go have a look at our work!
Next month I will do the first of 2 talks (1 in London, 1 in Glasgow) organised by LongLunch.
I’ll be talking about my work, Kleber, comics, and designing in general.
Really looking forward to do these talks (all thanks to Brian Copeland at LongLunch!)… and I hope I’m interesting enough to shift some tickets.
For those gagging to see me (all 3 of you) tickets for London are on sale NOW and can be purchased online at the LongLunch site!

I’m happy to announce that WIWP have reissued the posters from their “Now Showing” exhibit, including my Logan’s Run poster!
Wear It With Pride have teamed up with Blanka (no stranger to fans of fine design products) to produce the new prints which are now available in 2 formats: 50cmx70cm, priced at £75 GPB (edition of 25), and a cheaper A2 sized format priced £50GBP (unlimited print run). Both are Giclée print on Da Vinci Archival Art Paper.
WIWP is having a site overhaul at the moment, so in the meantime you can buy the poster HERE from their Flickr shop.
Just in time for that perfect holiday gift!
