A little bit of print

Good weekend all!

Naturally being a massive follower of all sports yesterday was packed full of it. Man Utd game was a good way to kick off this weekends proceedings and what a game that was! Having spent a couple of years living not too far from Villa Park there's a soft spot there for them but really I just wanted United to put on a show, and I suppose they did. A great game.

Then le Rugby, what more can you say then flippin awesome England beating the wallabies like that!

As a build up the MASSIVE fight, what more can you ask for then to see Stoke beat Liverpool 2-0. Wunderbar!

The boxing, I love it - so much anticipation and David Haye, he's just such a cool guy! Was always going to go one way, I came away feeling less jubilant than I thought I would have - it's not the nicest thing to whitness a mans career be shut down in such a straight forward manner.

Anyway, bit of a random tangent!

Below is a simple poster for a pro drumming friend of ours - just a little something I did this morn.



Have a marvelous Sunday.

Trials & Tribulations of life in the 6-a-side: The Story of Norfolk and Chance

Blog 5

Ole, ole ole ole, ole, ole! We have our first victory! NAC, who some said didn’t have a chance, have racked up their first win, triumphing 3-1 over Godsport Wonders, who were sitting in 3rd in the league!

We went into the game after a 3-3 draw last week in the CRY cup, a game I couldn’t play in due to my other team commitments, but that confidence was carried over to the league. We started the game in the normal fashion, strong and creating chances but one mistake and we were punished. 1-0 to Godsport.

However we were back in the game within a couple of minutes. A long ball forward from Jimmy, flicked on by Steve and Jay was there to smash it home at the near post. You can’t beat a bit of route one! Goal 2 came from what seemed to be a lost ball which Jay chased and kept in on the touchline, skinned one of their guys and then squared across the box for Justin to tap in. Game on!

We had a couple of other chances, which brought their manager out of his trackies and onto the pitch to try and save the game. We continued to frustrate them though and got our third goal through the tricky Jay, who had already trained for an hour before this game.

Our stand in defender Ian came in again and provided a real solid presence in defence. Steve seemed really up for the game and I was feeling confident. Other results ahead of us also went our way, with the team above us not playing so therefore forfeiting the game. We are now one point off second bottom and 7 points off 3rd place.

We can do it!

Trials & Tribulations of Life in the 6 a-side - The story of Norfolk and Chance


4th Blog

Well, they say it is tough at the top and even tougher at the bottom. We can’t vouch for the first one, but certainly can for the second. Another performance this week that promised much and delivered little.

We went into the game against “The Tanks” who we felt were a beatable side. They have had indifferent form up to now, including a 20-0 beating in the cup two weeks ago. Last week they fared better, with a 4-2 victory. However they came at us and snuck 2 first half goals in past our stand in keeper Aaron.

Into the second half we continued to dominate the possession, but are still sorely missing that killer instinct in front of goal. We lacked any real conviction, pace and movement and so paid the price and lost another goal, to go down 3-0 at the final whistle.

We are now really desperate for that goalscorer. It would completely transform our team. But for now, we must soldier on. I have been here before and know that it can be done, you just have to stick at it. Hopefully I can write you something more positive next week!

Pay close attention - here comes the next dimension

So once more please may I apologise for the shere lack of web presence of late!

The Birmingham shores have been proving busy these last few months but I wanted to get back on the web for a bit of updating.

It seems like the way forward in this industry like many others is all down to networking so like a over wired socket I am trying to get involved with the local design networks in good old Brum.

As I have just been having a cheeky bosh at this I may as well post a pick - it's my first attempt at a bit of 3d stuff. It's very much the flavour of the month at the mo what with Channel 4's 3d week coming up.


You'll need the old 3d specs for it to sort of work...I say sort of loosely as it doesn't really work. Just a quick try any way. I shall have a proper go shortly!

I'm rather looking forward to the Channel 4 3d week. It starts tomorrow and you can see a full list of the shows here there's a whole bunch of cool stuff being shown from The Queens Coronation to Derren Browns latest bunch of treats. Bottom line - Pretty awesome!

If you want any more info then look here: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/3d-week

You can get your glasses from Sainsbury's stores... http://www2.sainsburys.co.uk/instoreoffers/free_3d_glasses.htm

In other news - some more things to show you.

Writer and extra-far from ordinary mogul Tiffany Lee ( http://tiffanylee777.wordpress.com/ ) kindly asked me to do some business cards for her... so here they are:


Thoughts and comments welcome, if you need anything designed then hit me - casio.johnny@googlemail.com

So other news includes a pipeline T-shirt plan including releasing a range to coincide with the football world cup in South Africa. The idea largely is around playing with sterotypes and smashing down barriers through this fashonable medium. I.e. Johnny Casio may have long hair and enjoy music - he may be thought of as another cliche, however he like many others is not. This is the same for many others so i'm grabbing a slice of the patriotic dream of winning the world cup and will have some initial drawings up very soon.

Thanks for reading this far down! Tell your friends, your mothers, your sisters and your brothers - Johnny Casio is here.

Thank you kindly x

A long time coming...

So ladies and gents, may I sincerely apologise for such a long delay in the blog roll!

After a busy summer doing who knows what and who knows where...galivanting has finallly ended and Johnny has re-charged the batteries and is back on form and reasy to rock...in drawn form.

This summer has seen Johnny explore into the stencil and canvas world and you can see some pictures below. If you like what you see and would like an icon stencil made personally for you then get in touch and we can work something out - these can be 100% customised for your tastes - size, colour...you name it we can work things out to suit your needs but of course!

Johnny is now located back in sunny Birmingham UK just so we know...erm what else can i say...more t shirt designs as ever are coming out and I shall get these out in t shirt form as soon as demand holla's!

Pictures below, I'd love to know your thoughts!








Anyways, short but sweet - so very sorry for such a delay but as they say! Let's hit the road Jack...the road is looking exciting!!

Much love, Johnny x x
