Another Missed Boat

A few months ago, someone from Einstürzende Neubauten asked if I wanted to design a website for their new album Alles Wieder Offen. I’ve been a fan of their music since I was fourteen, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing them live twice, and I’ve hung out with them backstage — meeting Blixa Bargeld (E.N. frontman and ex-guitarist for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds) and talking about Marcel Duchamp’s The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even was priceless. Obviously, I said yes. I designed a few comps and sent them, alas, nothing ever happened.

I’ve been cleaning up around here (organizing my collection of junk, archiving old projects, vacuuming, finally replying to emails, etc.) and found the website comps I designed. I thought I’d post one here, so it wasn’t a complete waste of time and energy.

My life is peppered with missed opportunities. Regret is pointless; I’m more interested in the things to come, some very big things.
