I want to further articulate what my brand is all about (www.hermanshands.com). Herman’s Hands makes a lot of sense to me. But I know it’s still somewhat unclear at times… With time though, as the brand evolves, it will become clearer.
This article is quite simply a conversation I had with one of my older brothers via Whatsapp a few of days ago. It was early in the morning and I’d had a cupla of coffees.
G’day readers,
Today is a good day.
After 6 months of hard work I am launching Herman’s Hands, my Mental Health Awareness and Suicide Prevention Clothing Brand.
Brendanmcdonnell.com has now been running for 1 year. I thought it was about time I updated the ‘About’ page! I’ve shared it here for those of you who’ve been following my journey from the start/ anyone who’s interested:
I’ve been on a little hiatus from the blog but I’m back now and I’ve started phase 2 of awareness spreading. I’m moving into other avenues to raise awareness and spread my message – the next avenue being through something more visual and tangible.
I hope the white boy cheesy grin/guns combination photograph caught your eye…
If you have a spare minute please take a look at this survey I made. It’s about mental health and suicide for a personal project I’m working on.
I reckon it’s pretty eye-opening and I think you’ll find it rrrelatively interesting.
Hello. It’s me.
I’m back on the blog today to share some thoughts and a couple of SPLENDID PHOTOGRAPHS taken by my super talented cousin, Josh Wood (www.joshuakanephotography.com).

I’m happy to announce that I’ve arrived back in Australia after 2 years away!
And coincidentally, today marks 8 years since the day my dad died from suicide.
It’s a pretty significant moment.
Through all the articles on this blog I’ve attempted to share the process I’ve taken to free myself from the suffering associated with my dad’s death from suicide when I was 15.
I haven’t written anything like this before.
Right now I’m experiencing my first real relationship and over the past year or so I’ve thought about love, relationships, emotions, people and the like a lot. Maybe a little too much… I recently had a couple of thoughts that I’m unsure about. Some of which randomly entered my mind while I was daydreaming during a post-gym shower. I’d like to share them and see what you think.
I took my lady to Istanbul, Turkey for New Years 2014/15 and put this crappy little video together of some of the experiences we had together.
We patted lots of beautiful stray dogs and cats, ate about 70 kebabs and at one point I almost cried.
