Hey I've just launched a new design for my website & I'm currently working through all the content updating it to the new layout. This post hasn't been checked yet so it might look a little off.

4 — If You Play With Fire…

If You Play With Fire… You’re gunna get burned endup with a rad photo! I’ve done a coffee splash photo before, I’ve even done one at night — I wanted to top them both with a new splash photo. Last time we did one Adam & I discussed how fucking cool fire was — the only problem was that coffee wasn’t really flammable but you know what is…? METHS! So we came up with a concept & MacGyver’d a rig to drop a flaming object into the mug. Check the video for how we did it & you’ll get to meet our new fiends too. A rad girl called Megan with a knack for burning shit helped out — we bumped knuckles. Pretty surprised the police didn’t turn up.
