Sign of the Times

A few weeks back, art director Lucy Sanderson asked me to come and lend an extra pair of hands with a project.

The project itself was making the set dressing for a tour, for a band called Rizzle Kicks, who, embarrassingly I had never heard of.  

The tour was a little different, with the band 'popping up' in a disused shop or space in a town, selling merchandise and doing signings during the daytime, then performing in the space in the evening. And as they are from Brighton, the vibe was seaside, arty, urban.

My task as a cog in the mechanism was to make their logo into a large sign, inspired by this image I was given of an oversized graffiti-esque piece. 

Cardboard Heaven

Along with the freshly formed Team Ghiadora, a design team who put the extra pizazz into anything they touch, I worked on dressing the VIP bar in the basement of the ultra trendy Casa Negra, Shoreditch. 

We built Barbie and Lego men sized bijoux, shanty towns, sleazy urban districts, cityscapes, battle stars, rocket launches, and much much more. 

 

Shitfaced. Again.

The Magnificent Bastards have another run at the Edinburgh fringe, as Shit-faced Shakespeare is taking on Much Ado About Nothing. (Tickets here)

Like all Fringe productions it became a last minute job. It was shoved in a suitcase, and as the photos show, came out rather crinkled at the other end.
