Most advice we juniors receive these days is so predictable. It's always the same old cliches spoken by the same old people who have nothing better to tell us than, 'Be your best', 'Believe in yourself', 'Think big', or, 'Never give up' -- Goodness me! That guff helps no one. Lucky for you Stan doesn't think that way. His advice is always practical. 'Make phonecalls', 'Have realistic expectations', 'Don't expect lots of money', and now some advice you'll likely need -- 'Take the job'. A ... Read More! »

Dear troglodytes, philandering filibusters, friends, foes, and fusspots, We hear you. It is getting a tad boring around these parts. Interview after interview, whip after whip -- why wouldn't you scream in united togetherness, "When are you going to do something new!? Something bold!? Something we can use?! Something with pictures for chrissakes!?" Yes! By joe, we agree! It's a fair statement. And one we'd like to duely acknowledge. So please, as a gesture of our commitment to you, ... Read More! »

If there's one thing we've learnt about Stan in over a year worth of WHIPS, it's that he loves a football metaphor. See exhibit A, B, C and D.

Man or machine? Leo's glowing global reputation as a 'wunderkind' will have you believe the latter.

At the time Leo was just 28. They left after one highly awarded ... Read More! »

That's right everyone. Keep working. Don't stop. We're with you all the way. No matter who says your work is shit, off-brief, derivative, uncool, forced, uninteresting, lofty, idealistic, beige, untrue, wallpaper, too long, too short, too big, not big enough, square, round, pointy, or plain. We don't care. Just keep doing your thing. And listen to everything Stan says... Apparently I’ve been churning out these Monday Whips for over a year now. If you were there for the first one, and ...

Most interviews we read in magazines are shit. It's what inspires us to do what we do. That and other magazines that do brilliant interviews. Magazines like SneakerFreaker - Melbourne's very own incredibly good and culturally important international publishing success. Founded, edited and owned by the original sneaker freaker himself, Woody has built SF into a global behemoth. He's also seen his fair share of young upstarts float through his office, lived and worked overseas, moved from ... Read More! »
