I am now the proud owner of some new mugs! Greenbelt Festival used my design on their mugs this year as well as t-shirts and a beanie hat. All very nice! Also saw the very fantastic Black Rebel Motorcycle Club who headlined Greeneblt on the Sunday night. Rock and Roll!
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!
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
Had a great weekend working at the Wychwood Festival in Cheltenham over the last few days. I designed this print in a limited edition of 50 to celebrate the festival. Next year is their 1oth anniversary, you can buy early bird tickets at amazing prices for the next few days at http://www.wychwoodfestival.com This weekend they had the amazing Public Service Broadcasting, Lucy Rose, The Wedding Present and Caravan Palace.
I also designed a bag for them this year :
I have a limited amnount of artist proof posters left from the recent Daughter tour of Europe and North America in support of their album ‘If You Leave’

I have an exhibition coming up at Truck Store on the Cowley Rod in Oxford as part of Oxfordshire Artweeks. The exhibition will be in the Keen Bean Cafe and run from the 4th to the 12th of May 2013. There will be some of the prints available to buy including some posters that are unavailable to buy in my etsy shop.
Daughters’ American record label have chosen to use this poster as a print to accompany the US launch of the album. I am told that the first 3000 copies of the album will come with a free print.
I’ve recently produced two more designs for the band Daughter for their current European and North American tour. Its been great working with them again as I got to really visualise their lyrics and come up with some designs that fit well with them. The ‘Lost at Sea’ design has been produced in a small run for each specific night of the tour from Istanbul through to Los Angeles whereas the ‘Limbs’ poster has no date / place on it. I will have a limited amount of posters to sell after the tour has finished at the end of May.
