Designers' Circle | Design & Life minizine

Hi Bren! Please introduce yourself!

BRENB was born in 1974 at a house called "Mum & Dad's" in Dublin, Ireland As a boy he watched too much TV But, as a girl he did write little plays which to be fair to him was pretty creative Then again he did act out these plays by himself in the nearby park Which at the very least has probably led to him to talking about himself in the third person

He continues to work in solitude as an illustrator and cartoonist.

I am very enjoyed your funky style illustration with hand written typography Is your style inspired or influenced by anyone, anything?

Glad you enjoyed them Yeah I love hand-drawn type As a cartoonist I’ve always been fascinated by the combination of words and pictures Artists like Dave McKean, Henry Darger & Basquiat are never far from my mind I’m a huge fan of Nate Williams as well I like making it look like the computer never came near it even though it always does.

Are you one of the founders of Illustrators Guild of Ireland (IGI)? Tell us a little bit about IGI.

No, I’m not one of the founders although I am a director at the moment It’s a small voluntary organi-sation that started out to promote Illustration in Ire-land At present we have 50 full time members, run exhibitions, small book projects and host artists talks.

What is the most interesting project you've done?

Being involved in the recent VADER PROJECT was such a thrill 25 European artists were asked to cus-tomize a replica Darth Vader helmet that would then be exhibited in London at the 30th anniversary STAR WARS exhibiton Ummm, I recently completed a large scale series of illustrations to accompany Ireland’s entry for the Venice Biennale for Architecture Doing the cover for the birthday issue of CANDY magazine was pretty sweet too but Vader rocks!

Where do you live? Any suggested place in the city if we are visiting?

I live in the center of Dublin I’d recommend a visit to the Chester Beatty Library, amazing collection of rare books and a really nice cafe for lunch, my treat!

Do you cook? What is your comfort food?

Yes I love to cook My house is full of cookery books If I’m feeling like a treat I’ll cook my sweet chilli peppers stuffed with mushrooms and sausage meat I’m getting hungry now…

What do you do in your leisure time?

Well when I’m not working, which is all the time, I’m a bit of a movie buff I used to watch 4-5 movies every day now I’m lucky if it’s 4 a week I watch a lot of football on TV, I like to shower, laughing is good, read magazines, drinking alcohol, started going to the gym a lot recently probably because of the previous replies.

Could you choose one interesting object from your everyday life and tell us why you like it?

I’m afraid it’s going to have to be my IPOD I find it hard to sleep at night so I listen to podcasts on my IPOD and eventually I get my 2 hours sleep But we also bought this crazy vegetable slicing machine recently that is totally addictive I’m spending a lot of time using that.

What is your dream project?

I have a few I’d love to work on a book with Mark Murphy Design I’d love to do a line of Vinyl Toys I’d love illustrate a Harvey Pekar comic strip I’d love to be commissioned to do a New Yorker cover I’d love to be commissioned to do a series of book covers for Penguin But basically I’m happy working with clients who are excited about their job and are enthusiastic about the possibilities.

If you have 1 month vacation, where are you going to spend?

Well I’ve just come back from a month In New York, so if I couldn’t go back there it would have to be Florence, Italy.

I like to own a shop that sold screen printed posters and small press books, maybe a little gallery space and a couple of tables for coffee It would have to be in Florence though, can you make that happen? Is that my fee for the interview?

What does Design & Life mean to you?

Striking the right balance! Hopefully someday I’ll achieve it.

Any words for your friend Jon Burgerman?

MONKEY PIRATES!

Thanks for the interview! This chapter is

designers' circle, and we hope you can introduce one of your friends, and will be interviewed in the next issue! Who will be the victim? :D

World champion book illustrator and all round hot stud…Oliver Jeffers!

3Home appliance is used to be made for function with cold material, such as steel, iron, and plastic However, the products of Amadana are more like furniture than just functional machine Amadana uses natural elements, such as white oak and bamboo, to balance and soften the feel of its products This is a wisely idea to create a modern interior without hiding your microwave in the kitchen corner With modern design and Japanese traditional lacquer techniques, Amadana is definitely one of the most innovative lifestyle brands in 21st Century.

Stick type cleaner

This is the most elegant home appliances I have ever seen The shape is designed without occupying too much space, and it’s only need a space wide that enough for two pairs of shoes Furthermore, it’s like a piece of art and you can display it everywhere in your house

We belive that AMADANA has shown us their sense of design, influenced our daily life and improved our living environment.

I love to cook and collect recipes, but I never exactly follow the steps For me, cooking should be playful I always put my imagination to someone’s recipe and bring it to my vision

My cooking rules are easy and healthy Modern people are always busy, and I believe, with 1/2 effort, 1/2 steps, 1/2 fat, 1/2 time of cooking, will also bring you to a lovely cooking experience and healthier dish

That’s why I called this chapter “1/2 Recipe” Cooking is art Let’s play.
