about out of sight

A site of original and unoriginal content meant to entertain and inform. Out of Sight is edited by JJ O'Donoghue and William Hilderbrandt.

more about out of sight

If this site had to be summed up in one word and a preceding parenthetical phrase, then it would be (hopefully) entertaining. Think of it as an archive of some of the most interesting articles, videos, photography, and miscellany that JJ and William find online.

Presently the two have hopes of expanding the site to include some of their own work, and when they do just watch the hilarity ensue.

In the meantime please leave comments on posts - whether you like or dislike - and make suggestions as to what you want to see more of. For some of you it's more tits and ass, for others you prefer men with beards, and for one of you (you know who I am talking about) it's all about jam.

one more thing on out of sight

Out of sight is Will and JJ's attempt to get noticed and invited on daytime TV or any Fox TV show. Before out of sight, there was rich and creamy, a hugely popular blog for spammers who wanted to sell us penis enhancing products. They were wasting their time.

But to stick to the augmentation analogy, out of sight at its best is a brain enhancing website. That's a radical statement guys.

What you'll find on the site is a ménage à trois of humour, skepticism, intelligence and titilation. We really enjoy comments and recommendations and we hope to build up a community of followers so that we then add a subscription wall and take on the Financial Times or Playboy. Or just get jobs with them.

who is this stud william?

William lives in Paris. At the start of 2009 he left London and all his friends and his bad job to come to France, where he hardly speaks the language, to be with his girlfriend. Officially he is very happy to finally be living with her but occasionally he does get nostalgic for London.

He grew up in the US - Oklahoma (please do not hum the musical!) - and studied philosophy before going to London for a Master's in journalism. His work has not been published by the best in the industry, such as The New York Times, The Atlantic Monthly, The Economist, Mother Jones, McSweeney's, and many, many more.

Currently he is freelancing at radio and TV gigs, slowly acquiring technical skills he hopes he can eventually use to make documentary and feature films that one day will not be produced by some of the world's best film studios.

who is this wise guy jj?

Quite early on in life JJ discovered that he was a fabricator. In 2006 his mum and dad invited him to leave their home in Cork, Ireland and head for London, where he now resides, to shake up the city. He cycles hard, drinks hard and blogs harder. You get the picture.

Currently he's alive, and, like most people his age he's 29. He longs for the day Japan get's moved right next to Ireland, and that Cork wins the world series in hurling. More than anything else he want's a book deal. Failing that a decent sandwich with French mustard, mayonnaise and Ballymaloe relish in it.

Chloe Early and Conor Harrington have been holed up in their studios in Brick Lane for the past few months. Conor even stayed put with the paints and brushes late one Saturday evening in March when Ireland actually won a competition other than the Eurovision. Why? A new joint show. In America. Ooooooooooo. So what takes you off to LA? Conor: We’re doing a show together at Kinsey/Desforges gallery. This is the first time you’ve done a show together, what’s the preparation been like? Chloe: It’s been the same as when we don’t show together; we get up, go to the studio, do some painting, ignore each other  -come home, eat dinner - ignore each other a bit more - all in all a wonderful experience, we have become closer. Conor: There have been tears and tantrums but we’ve just about kept it together.What’s the name of the show and how long does it run for? Conor: We’ve called it “Chasing Castles” and it’ll run for about five weeks from April 18 to May 23. Have you ever been to LA before? Both: No. What are you expecting? Chloe: Palm trees, super highways, celebrities, perfect bodies Conor: Sunshine, dark orange tans, whiter than white teeth and plastic people. But hopefully a few nice people as well. Will you be painting elephants or any other live animals? Conor: I’m going to buy a mini dog but I’m not going to paint it. Chloe: Painting animals? No, but I am expecting to become friends with a pet pig. You can have dinner or pints with one celebrity, who’s it to be? Dita Von Teese. Mickey Mouse. I’ll leave it to your imagination to figure out who picked whom. Click on their websites to see more of Conor and Chloe’s work. Hope you both have a great time, Chasing Castles, pigs, Mickey Mouse and Ditta Von T in LA. I’ll post new paintings from team C&C on Out of Sight as soon as they go online.
