Call for submissions

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!

Faile

James — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 12:19:18 +0000

Faile (pronounced “fail”) are a collective based in New York. Formed in 1999 they are referred (by some) as pioneers of global contemporary street art. Founding members Patrick McNeil, Patrick Miller and Aiko Nakagawa have evolved from wheatpasting screen printed posters on streets into permanent pieces of artwork combining stencil, graf, stickers and paint. The work is stunning and the venue, an old school on the verge of being demolished; surreal.

The show is curated by Lazarides gallery and is well worth the trip.

Its our pleasure!

London Design Festival Website

Chester — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:42:56 +0000

Just a quick question. What’s the point in spending loads of government money, loads of time, and a load of marketing effort when no-one can find out what is going on.

I dare you to try and find an event in your area at a specific time on http://www.londondesignfestival.com/. I don’t think an ounce of thought has gone into it.

For example, I’m at work, it’s 5.45 an I fancy going to something within the festival tonight. I don’t mind traveling, and I don’t mind what discipline it’s in. So why on their search page do they not allow me to even see what is going on tonight? Let alone filter by location? Ok, they have given postcodes, but where I work there are 10 postcodes within 15 minutes of me. So they want me to search through every one, and then click on every result to find out when it is?

I find this really disappointing, that we as an industry can’t get our act together for something like this. It’s not rocket science, it’s just common sense.

Cool selfridges widow display

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:

Interesting ‘08

Chester — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 12:18:14 +0000

We went along to Interesting ‘08 on Saturday and had a great day. Many thanks to Russell Davis for organizing the whole thing. Rather than talking about it I though I wold have some verbal diarrhea with Wordle. Hopefully also serves as a reminder of what went on to people who were there, I have tried to get at least one word for every talk…
