Tragic news has spread across the digital land that Gideon Baws of the talented Shynola has pasted away at age 33.
Shynola consisted of Gideon Baws, Chris Harding, Richard (Kenny) Kenworthy and Jason Groves. Their name is coin by a Steve Martin line, "You don't know shit from Shinola." from The Jerk. This was also cheekily illustrated at the enter page of their old website.
Their portfolio is an awing achievement including one of my dear favourites, Blur's Good Song. I cheered every time their work is shown at Resfest, like barracking for a mate.
His brilliance and wit will be sorely missed but his contribution will live on. It's a shame I never met you, Gideon Baws.
