I've made a few DVDs of animations from the past three years. It will be available at the Degree Shows, but numbers are limited so send me an email if you'd like one in the post.

Reckoning

Early morning detritus

Here's some shots of the first day of the assessment set up. Hanging began at 10 this morning and ends tomorrow at half five. In the first photo (and to the left of the third) you can see a sneak preview of my two colour Destroyer's Rubies screenprint which will hopefully appear in full on the site very soon, not to mention a bunch of other work including I Am The Friction—a collaborative book of short fiction and illustration that Lizzy and I are putting out—and a small Gocco print set that I'll soon be sending out for self promotion.

Everybody's work is looking uniformly amazing. It's going to be a splendid show. Once the assessment is through I'll be working on the official site for all of us graduating from Graphic Design and Illustration this year, so keep an eye out.

Invitations and New York Times commission
Posted by Owen / 4 May 2008

Over the past month or so I've been working on the fashion and textiles publicity for the University of Brighton Degree Show with fellow designers Louise Canham, Ciara Phelan and Amelia Roberts. This includes a 144 page catalogue of all the student's work, a website, and these invitations which we've just received back from the printers. 1000 copies of the invitations have been printed, publicising the student's London show. They've been printed using black foil for the text on both the front and back onto an imperial blue heavy-weight stock. The catalogue has also just been sent off to print so make sure to check back for updates on that one.

In other news, I've just updated my profile with a selection of new work including a screenprint for the band This Will Destroy You. Also, an illustration which I've recently completed for the 'On Language' column of the New York Times Magazine has been published today, so if you're near a news stand grab yourself a copy. Alternatively, If you don't have access to a copy you can view it here

Prints, vinyls
Posted by Jez / 3 May 2008

Here's a small preview of a two-colour Gocco print I finished tonight, which will form part of a set I've been putting together, on and off, for many months. Seventy sets of four Gocco prints (in a similarly printed envelope), the majority of which will be making their way to nice people as a piece of self promotion. More to come soon.

In other news, Monday saw the release of Woodpigeon's first UK single 'That Was Good But You Can Do Better', a limited 7" vinyl designed by myself and my prettier partner in crime, Lizzy Stewart (as Sing Statistics). Read more about it here, buy it here, and watch out for photos of it soon.
