Winchester Pop Up Gallery and Design Shop set up

After the Degree Show I received a phone call about whether I would like to be a part of a pop up gallery and design shop that was going to be held in the Brooks centre in Winchester in a few weeks time. The gallery and shop were going to be set up in two vacant shop spaces on the second floor of the shopping centre during Winchester Fashion Week. I thought it sounded like a great idea so I met up with Graham and Suzie Brown to show them more of my work, and to decide what to display and sell in the gallery. Me and Kat (who also had some of her photographic work in the gallery) helped set up the shop and gallery, and ended up completely covered in paint every day! Our work tasks were painting custom cut wooden shapes that were going to be used as table tops, as well as painting walls and MDF boards white. Here are some pictures from the process:

WSA Graduate London Show + PDYE @ The Rag Factory 2011

I was lucky enough to be selected to have some of my FMP work featured in this years WSA graduate show in London, as well as in the PDYE show which was arranged and set up by Let's Recuperate.

The PDYE (Pounds, Dollars, Yen, Euro) brief was all about value, and we were asked to produce a poster especially for the show based around this theme. I chose to illustrate the Queen mother because of the simple fact that many people in and outside of the UK value the royal family and the monarchy, and the Queen mother is quite an interesting character to draw.

Each poster was limited to a run of 50 prints which were available to buy. Every print ranged from £1 to £20 depending on how many were sold on the opening night. The price for the first 15 was £1. For the next 10 the price was £3. £6 for the following 10. £10 for the 10 after that, with the last 5 selling for £20.

I still have a few left and I'm selling them all for £6 each. They are nice quality risograph prints done by Hato Press. Let me know if you would like to buy one.

Also, all the posters featured in the show can be found here.

Here are some pictures from the two shows:

Courage Have Courage t-shirt design

Courage Have Courage are a great band from Guernsey and are all friends of Josh. When they asked Josh and I if we could make them a t-shirt design we said yes right away and started mocking up different ones. They were interested in having animals as the main theme, and a stag was one of the ones they wanted the most. They chose the last design of those below to go on their t-shirts, and started off by printing 40 for their tour. The last thing we've heard is that they sold them all, which is brilliant!
