Was on the guest list for The Vaccines last night which was nice. They also signed some of my posters for me which was good! Have to say, the new album songs sound better live than they do one the record in my opinion.

The posters have gone really well it seems for Little Noise Sesions this week, with some of the nights selling out. I was asked by the organisers to make a special poster to say ‘Thanks’ to Jo Whiley for curating the events. Hopefully she likes it!

This last week I’ve been a bit run off my feet with doing proposals for some new bands and finalising and printing the posters for Mencaps’ Little Noise Sessions next week in London. Its a bit of strange one for me really in that there are some great ‘indie’ bands on the roaster over the 6 nights alongside…Gary Barlow… and Olly Murs! Needless to say I am taking my young lady to see Gary…she is excited! Anyway, this is what I’ve done for Little Noise. There are only 25 for each night, all signed and numbered and I am told they are going to get the artists for each night to sign 5 of the posters which they are going to auction! Anyway, hope people like them as much as I do. Its been good doing some hand drawing for this one. I’ve got some more proposals for a brilliant Manchester band to do this week, I will let you know if I am successful!
