The Eskimo Sandpaper Kiss

I was asked to help come up with games for MTV's new show Fist of Zen, where members of the public had to complete hazardous and painful tasks in excange for cash prizes, all overlooked by the mighty zen master. Here's one of my favourites, the Eskimo Sandpaper Kiss. Don't try it at home. Unless there's money involved.

The End of the World Part II

If you're prone to epileptic seizures look away now. After two successful runs we've been asked to give The End of the World show a new look for the next season. Here's part of the branding, an animated logo that will be projected onto the big screen before and after the show itself.

Talking Cats: The next chapter

Talking Cats is one of our favourite ever clips on youtube. Hilarious and sorrowful in equal measure. We decided contribute to the talking cats craze with our own submission:

Rogue Tagging: The Art of Tagging People Wrongly on Facebook

Facebook is a social networking site on the lines of Myspace but far more addictive. People commonly upload photos which are "tagged" according to who is in them. We duly invented 'Rogue Tagging: The Art of Tagging Pictures Wrongly to confuse, amuse or abuse', which is now one of the fastest growing groups on there. Some of our favourites that members have submitted...

The End of the World Show

If the world was going to end how would you spend your last evening? We helped out with Art-direction, copywriting, typography, and lots of creative development for the show itself. The End of the World Show. All the way from New York to London! Expect dancing girls, Escapologists and over-proof homemade cider.

Smollensky & Blake sponsor Big Brother

Ok, so we're still waiting on the backlash on this one... We put together 72, count 'em, 72 idents for Virgin Media's sposorship of this season's Big Brother. Our idea was to put spoof subtitles on Big Brother clips from round the world, which involved wading through hours of footage from Argentina, Russia, Holland, Germany, Africa and (still our favourite) Brazil.

We'd tried to write as many as possible so hopefully you won't see the same one too many times. Look out for Deigo, the blonde Brazilian bombshell, surely a global star in the making.
