Charivari Day

Every year Folkestone is turned into Rio for the annual Charivari Day street carnival. This year is its 20th year - I've been doing the posters for the last 10ish years I think. This year the theme of the carnival is "vintage seaside" so I decided this was the only way to go!

The Higher State

 

 Here's a fun job! A 12"  cover for The Higher State's new album (which I also played drums on, but that's incidental).

The Trip Out 2016

This year's poster for The Trip Out festival.

Charivari Day

This is a poster that I designed for the annual Charivari Day carnival in Folkestone. I was taken by a font from the turn of the century that I drew from the source material specially for the poster, with a few small adaptions.

New signwriting course!

My mate Joby Carter from Carters Steam Fair has just announced a new signwriting course in February - if you'd like to learn the craft from a master, now's yer chance!

I just made this image for him to promote it online.

Born Bitchin'

I made this logo last week for Anna Porter and Estelle Bilson-Booker's new clothing line, Born Bitchin' - good, clean 1970s fun!

Birthday party

I did this silly invitation for me mate's 60th birthday, love a good doodle!

The Jim Jones Revue's Last Hurrah

The Jim Jones Revue asked me to design a T shirt for their last tour, The Last Hurrah. I have done a couple of others for them in the past, so it's nice to be involved in the last one... and it was great fun to do. Last minute, frantic, but a really good collaboration between me and the band while they were on the road resulted in this.

And then we used it as a basis to make the Live at The Forum double CD cover with Abbey Road:

Effie Butterworth

I recently made this website banner for Effie Butterworth who is making exquisite historically accurate and vintage inspired smalls! More from her to follow soon...

Ride the Ark in the Dark and other thrilling exploits

In between my other jobs I'm also always working for Carters Steam Fair, producing posters, leaflets and other stuff. Here are some of this year's bits and bobs...

 

 

 

 

Aaaaaeeeeeiiiiiiggggghhhhhh!!!!

It's Halloween again! Here's this year's poster and ticket I designed for The Chambers in Folkestone:

 

All work and no play... etc etc

It's been AGES since I posted anything on here, which is crazy really because I've been so busy I've been struggling to keep on top of everything so I really should have something to show for it! Here goes...

A poster for The Black Douglas to advertise their Sterling Autocycle (see above)... along with a logo (see below) using lettering I specially made for the project.

 

I also designed this little logo for them which I don't think is being used but I quite like it:

 

Plus some various T shirt designs...
