From time to time, when at Uni we used to hate our design tutors a great deal. They would be wonderful all through semester and then BAM come presentation day they became the most untrustworthy conninving little rats that ever walked the earth, from times paleolithic until now. At least this is what Jeremy will tell you. Me? Tutors were usually kind to me I always felt the need to join in on the bitching regardless. Now that I am on the other side, tutoring design in first year, I am gaining an understanding of why most tutors are complete cocks. It is because after lunch we get sleepy. It is simple and as complex as that. We are like children who, denied their afternoon nap, get a little irritable and decide that everything around them just sucks.

Functional Jones has been updated. Some of the extraneous rubbish has been removed and some details of the t-shirts included. There is even some limited evidence of the existence of actual prototypes… For those of you that have missed this minor style revolution, it is a t-shirt making enterprise that Jeremy and myself are attemtping to set up. It has taken a while to get moving but now that it is Winter we are gaining some momentum and God-willing, come some cold rainy day in July we will be out at the Bondi Markets holding back the crowds of young humans wanting a groovy t-shirt to go with their scarf. We have found the manufacturers of the cheap but sturdy t-shirts we require to bless with our artwork, so our fortunes founded on your wallets cannot be far away.

This site, too, has had a bit of an upgrade as folk have been informing me that navigating to older entries is a little confusing and difficult and we must cater to all levels of navigational prowess now, mustn’t we. As such there is now one, uniform archive page where old entries can be accessed.
