PJ Bond wants to work with you
PJ asked us to post up this open letter to any/all PJ Bond fans with a knack for design/art/video production/etc:
hello all,
i want to call all people who are feeling creative and looking for something to make and/or contribute to this summer. my goal is to get as many people trying new ideas and hopefully being able to not only showcase it for them but also to have it play a part in what i do. the two main things i’m thinking of are videos and t-shirts/posters. if you’re interested, please get in touch. pjbondmusic@gmail.com
t-shirts/posters:
i need new designs for t–shirts/posters and have a few pretty sweet ones on hold, but would rather work with someone else and create something fun together. so, if you can draw, use visual computer programs, or have any other ways to create t–shirt/poster designs, i have ideas, would love to hear yours and have printing presses at my disposal. i’m currently working at a print shop that does awesome stuff and have been given full access to all of their shirt and poster print areas as well as to the materials, so it seems a shame to not utilize this awesome tool.
videos:
i really want to amass a great deal of video content and think it’d be really sweet to have a video for each song from my album. sonic youth (as well as i’m sure a load of other bands) have done this and i really like the idea. i’m currently working on live videos and video shorts, but i also think that me making videos for these songs isn’t the best idea because i’m too close to them. i know what all of the nuances of the songs are about, i know the full story and back story. but you don’t. and you could interpret the song in a way i never saw coming and that could be amazing. furthermore, it’s a way to get the creative juices flowing. if you’ve ever been interested in video, now is the time to try, because you have a preset soundtrack, time, basic idea, so many starting points with you fully deciding the ending point. if it’s awesome, that will rule for both of us and everyone who enjoys it. if it sucks, who cares? it was totally worth trying. if you want to do this and don’t have a specific song you want to try out, definitely let me know, and i can steer you towards one that isn’t being worked on.
so that’s that. i hope you’ll join me in my adventures. and if you have your own that you want me to join you in, well please don’t hesitate to ask. this street goes both ways, i’m just tossing out what i’m vibing. i hope this finds you all wonderful and look forward to hearing from you. write soon.
