Once again this year I designed and made the t shirts for the greatest FREE festival in Oxfordshire – Riverside Festival! This year we put the bands on the t-shirt which on all accounts went down well as they sold out of t-shirts! Always a pleasure to do this design and make their t-shirts!
As part of Artweeks in Oxford I teamed up with local record store Truck Records to put on an exhibition of my screen printed gig posters from the last few years. It was great to exhibit them in their coffee shop, and I made lots of sales to boot…which was nice;)
At Wychwwod Festival this year I designed and made some signage for some of the bars and the healing gardens. I’m reasonably pleased with them as it was my first time of working with a production company to get them in place. Hopefully I will do some more of this next year for Wychwood to add to the site vibe!
Just found this photograph I took at the daughter gig back in April. This was the European and US tour that I designed and made their poster for so it was great to finally go and see the band and see my posters being sold – they sold out that night which was great!The band always seem to choose such great venues to play – not that my photograph does it much justice!
Back in June I was asked to submit proposals for t-shirt designs for GreenBelt Festival. It’s Greenbelt’s 40th anniversary this year so I was pleased to be asked to submit – particularly as I used to go to the festival alot in my youth! The brief was to come up with a ‘classic’ t-shirt design that encompassed the spirit of the festival. I used designs from previous festivals to create a design that celebrated their 40 years, apparently they are using my design on t-shirts and mugs this year! The festival takes place this weekend. http://www.greenbelt.org.uk
