Hey, Ho Let’s Go..
I’ve been listening to Triple J for years now.
My fondest memory has myself, my brother and a few mates tuning into it via a crackling old car radio at Henley Beach in Adelaide many Keith moons ago. The station had only just gone national and became the soundtrack to many great beach weekends from that point on. We could never work out how the hell they managed to know our whole record and tape collection!

There was still no clear JJJ radio reception for the Spencer Gulf back then, but when I was able to tune in properly some years later it was good to hear nothing had changed except the name. It was still playing exciting, alternative and fresh new music that I could only really read about in NME or similar overseas music papers. The announcers were the same music enthusiasts who seemed to know what real music sounded like, and someone called Kingsmill was giving me a good education in what was brewing in Australian garages at the time.

Fast forward to 2004 and although I’m more likely to be found browsing the jazz or blues section, I continue to tune in to that same station as often as possible for my reality check.
Yep. There's a lot of good music out there and much of it seems to surface on Triple J first.

The Easel and the Damage Done..
The images you’ll see here began whilst listening to the radio during a stint at the easel recently. One of the announcers (Myf Warhurst) mentioned the new Triple J site was being launched online so I dropped the brushes and had a quick squizz.

Whilst putting the names to the faces of the presenters I listen to, it dawned on me that I could have a little fun at their expense (ok.. maybe more than just a little).

In some weird, perverted way of paying homage, I decided to start cutting and pasting each of the Triple J personalities facial features to create the “Off Their Faces” series here.
It was the beginning of the end.

I became gripped in a PhotoShop Frenzy and there was no turning back. Like some crazed Dr. Frankenstein, one infringement on copyright led to another and before I knew it I had created enough of them to form a humorous mug shot series.. or failing that, a court appearance.

On a serious note, hopefully I haven’t offended anyone and they will all see the funny side of it.
Look, I simply gave in to temptation in a weak moment and let satire and the lure of image editing software get the better of me.
