Lacoste Poster

A few months ago, I was asked to design some posters for Lacoste, it is their 80th birthday this year. The posters were designed to reflect the heritage of the brand. I created a number of variations, this is my favourite, it is based on the '80' logo created by Peter Saville (bottom left) with two tennis balls and the old wooden racket that Rene Lacoste used... the poster was released in time for Roland Garros in France hence the clay/red background.

This is a signed working proof framed up... 

When printing in the studio from mac, I print each colour separately through a wide format printer, this is the only way I have found to get the real feel of the print working and the colours sitting together or overprinting properly.

Once I Was An Eagle

Laura Marling has a new album out, pretty impressive, gone is the twee folky stuff, things are a little darker now, actually this song 'I Was an Eagle' reminds me of Razor by Dave Grohl, which is posted below for your convenience.

Cayucas

It feels a little more like summer now...

California X

California X - Mummy.

Last year I visited Seattle, the birthplace of grunge, and ever since I've been rekindling my love of said rock.

California X are a bunch of American kids who are doing it today... and generally having a good time. I wish they had a video for their track Pond Rot, as it contains the lyric "I want a pond to rot in" check out their debut (I think) self titled album, it is streaming on Spotify.

In other news while i'm here, and most of you reading this probably want to hear about design/illustration work. Everything is going swell! I drew the Titanic the other day.
