Lansdown Hall and Gallery



I have been asked to design a new identity for 'The Space' in Stroud, which is being re-opened as the 'Lansdown Hall and Gallery' early next year.
Here are a couple of initial ideas for a logo, using details from the building itself as visual devices.

Employee of the Month.



A new t-shirt I have printed... the first one to come out of the new studio.

Fringe Festival




I am currently designing the promotional material for Stroud Fringe Festival 2010. I also hope to design gig posters etc for the fund-raising events leading up to the festival.
Here are some initial poster designs for the festival itself.

STUDIO!


I now have my own studio!

KNOW YOUR ENEMY


I'll probably make this into a poster, and maybe a t-shirt.

The Wave Express

The Wave Express




The people at TIDAL (Trade Injustice and Debt Action Leeds) have teamed up with Oxfam, Christian Aid, the Co-op and many others to charter a train to the climate march on December 5th in London.
I have been lucky enough to get to design a logo for the train, which is called 'The Wave Express'.
Here are some initial ideas for the logo.

Rich Uncle Pennybags



A new design for a screen print. I have printed a few onto t-shirts from charity shops, (which I plan to sell) and a few onto paper which I plan to paste up around places.

Paste Up



Pasted up the 'Still In The Ghetto' posters today. They went a bit bubbly, but I don't mind. I think they will look better when they are a bit torn and knackered... which will probably be about 10mins after we left and the kids on micro scooters ruin them.

Swing Tags



My first attempt at using the small Adana letterpress.
I think I used too much ink initially, and also the type may not have been flat in the chase.

'Still In The Ghetto' Posters





A new poster. It's a two-colour screenprint, printed by hand in my garage.
These will be going up at the skatepark as soon as it stops raining. Better copies will be printed as soon as anybody wants one.

Poster Design



A new two-colour poster design, which I hope to screenprint onto A2 tomorrow.
Also, a series of crest-like objects I designed to go in the top corner, before switching to a much simpler design. I hope to continue this series of objects into a complete grid, which I might then print onto a t-shirt.

Climate Camp Ideas




A couple of initial ideas for a flier I am designing. The flier is for a Climate Camp event taking place in Copenhagen this December, to coincide with the UN climate conference on the 15th.

New T-Shirt Design



I actually made this design before the beard t-shirt, but I haven't printed it yet.

Dig For Sanity Poster




I printed these posters today using my new screen printing equipment. I know a bad workman always blames his tools, but the emulsion I am using keeps on falling off of the screen, I think it just really cheap, poor quality emulsion. The effects of the emulsion falling off can be seen around the text at the bottom, and on various parts of the starburst in the background of the design.
Also, the guy's shirt was supposed to be much darker, but I think the dots on the (colour halftone) positive may have been a bit too small.

Old Work




An alternative design for the 'polite suggestions' brief, and a stencil based on a Doug Stanhope quote. I just found these on my camera.

VOCALISE AGAINST FASCISM




The first poster made using my new screen printing equipment. The set up (in the garage) was a bit cluttered, and the print isn't perfect, but I think it is a fairly promising first attempt.

Secret Blisters Poster


Now that the show is over, I no longer have to keep my design a secret.
Here it is!!
Apparently the Print Club managed to sell 35/35 of my prints, I am just waiting for the cheque so I can buy some screen printing stuff :)

Secret Blisters 09






Here are some pics from the Secret Blisters show, which featured one of my prints.
You can just about see my print in the bottom left corner of the top photo (it's a bear).

Bye Bye Bird


The world's most annoying doorbell + a banger I found in my underwear drawer whilst moving out = unspeakable satisfaction
