Very nice idea - well realised which is just about the greatest thing i’ve seen all morning,

Barcinski-jeanjean are from Amsterdam and they have some great work to boot.

Funkin Punkin are putting on a New Year Eve party at the Slaughtered Lamb in Clerkenwell to see out the year. Famed for good time parties doused in hedonism, at great venues with twisted themes, this year will be no exception. They are looking for creative input to theme the party, venue, flyers and tickets. Therefore they are running a short pitch to anyone interested in submitting.

The venue is an ex-gallery in the back streets of Clerkenwell, in an old industrial building. The pub is distinguished by high ceilings and full height windows onto the street on two sides and a dark and dimly lit interior with a classic central bar. They need to screen these windows and are looking to use giant prints which will be visible from inside and out and provide visual interest and theme.

The theme is roughly speaking a CELEBRATION OF LONDON LIFE.

They are looking for graphic character based images that represent all things London in layered stories of any or some of the following:

Ye’olde London + Modern day London

New Times + Old Times

Good times + Dark times

Rhymes + Reasons

Alleys + Lanes

Cobles + Gold

Fables + Legends

Hedonism + Stoicism

Satirical twists

Rabbit down the hole

Puss in boots

History + Mystery

Things + Stuff…

The format will be black + white perhaps with one other colour, digital or screen print on lightweight paper to be pasted onto the windows and backlit. Average window bay is 4 panels of apx 0.8-1mX2m. There are 5 bays of 4 panels and 1 bay of 2. Images can take up a whole bay over the 4 panels or just panel by panel.

Flyer will be viral email.

Tickets will be screen print.

They will commission 4-5 works for a bottle of bubbly and a pair of free tickets for the night. All artists will be credited on all the media and they will look into further ways of promoting and selling the work with proceeds going to the artists.

Submission date is 14^th November so get scribbling!

Cool selfridges widow display

September 12th, 2008

We share our office with some very cool product designers - they would most famously be known for their “make your own cardboard cut out AK47” kit they have in the shops at the moment - but last week they launched something to top that…. A Concorde turbine engine on display in a Selfridges window on Oxford Street, check it out:
