Colour Value
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010Anarchy/Apathy
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010As part of the London Anti-Design Festival there is an open poster competition. Posters must be black and white and on the theme of anarchy/apathy. Selected posters will be printed A1 and hung in the Research Studios workshop space. I gave two submissions:
Crookee Catalogue
Saturday, August 14th, 2010Crookee is a catalogue of all the type sculptures I made while at Camberwell. The cover of the book was printed in silver ink on chocolate coloured card using the same type of woodblocks as used in some of the castings and printed in Camberwell College of Art letter press. All the pages inside were printed at Ditto Press who also bound it. The pages inside are Munken Pure, all printed two colour, using either red and gold or green and gold ink.

Final Exhibition Preparation – Part 1
Monday, July 12th, 2010The MA Graphic Design exhibition is in the old part of Camberwell College this year. The building is great, but it isn’t in ideal condition for an exhibition. We had just over a week to work on it so it’s going to look a lot better in the end. Here are some before images:
Metal Working
Sunday, July 4th, 2010Sandblasted the aluminium ‘Crookee’. The surface of this one retained some of its variation, but the bronze bronze bits looked a lot flatter afterwards.
Mold Breaking and Cleaning

Creeptacular and Crookee Continue
Friday, June 25th, 2010This was the nerve wracking bit of the bronze casting process. Would the molds shatter, were they solid inside, would the air vents work, was it all a massive waste of time?
Entropy Posters – Part 2
Friday, June 25th, 2010Finally got these posters finished, apart from trimming and framing. I changed my mind about them half way through, initially they were going to be portrait with the crystal forms coming in from one side and a paragraph of text from Smithsons ‘The Crystal Land’.
The gray sky seemed to swallow up the heaps around us. Fractures and faults spilled fourth sediment, crushed conglomerates, eroded debris and sandstone. It was an arid region, bleached and dry. An infinity of surfaces spread in every direction.
Entropy Posters – Part 1
Sunday, June 13th, 2010Robert Smithson identifies entropy with the crystalline and I have taken this a very loose departure point to begin another project. I decided to make a set of posters with crystal like structures as a way of experimenting with a different process: printing and overprinting laser cut perspex on the letter press. The pieces are engraved so they will print solid with hairlines reversed out.
