Made In Earnest

Big news at Made In Earnest HQ today as our design for the Nostalgia 77 And The Monster LP ‘Measures’ has been nominated for the Best Art Vinyl Awards 2014. As you can see above it is a slightly unusual design with everything on the front cover, but we felt this worked well with the […]

Actors Touring Company will once again be at the Edinburgh Festival – this time with Nassim Soleimanpour’s play Blind Hamlet – and we have done the artwork to go with the show. If you are in Edinburgh you should start to see the flyers and posters around the city, as well as the banners on […]

Well, this is a nice way to start the year. The Events has just been awarded The Guardian’s ‘Best Theatre Of 2013’. Not directly involved in the play (obviously), but we did all the promotional material for the UK tour (which took in Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hull, Oxford and Plymouth). The posters for Hull […]

At the recent (and inaugural) Jazz Meet Record Fair I brought some of the printed A3 posters along to sell and today I received this lovely photo from one satisfied customer. It’s nice seeing them framed and in what looks like an impressive record room. All the posters are for sale to all via the […]

The 2013 edition of SPILL Festival of Performance is in April and has been ‘curated around notions of contact and explores issues of connection, exchange and advocacy. In the mix are uncompromising performances, radical live events, participatory interventions, installation, film and discussions’. The Festival is taking place at a range of venues across London including […]

Love and death, loyalty and betrayal, truth and fiction: do we ever really know whether we are truly loved? Well, do we? Actors Touring Company might just have an answer with their presentation of Illusions by Ivan Viripaev. The Guardian review said ‘It’s like a bedtime story gone awry’. The show is on now (‘the […]

For The Jazz Meet posters I occasionally collaborate with illustrators and for the December poster I teamed up with Valencian-based duo Nuria Bellver and Raquel Fanjul, better known as Cachetejack. As you can see, their illustration universe is full of colour, energy and humour. They were a joy to work with and produced something which I think […]

The latest Nostalgia 77 album is now officially out and it has been getting some very good reviews. Also pleasing, from a personal point of view, is that the design for the artwork looks good online and in the hand. If I am being honest, I was slightly worried because I had made the album […]

Tonight is the launch night for the latest SPILL Festival of Performance. This year, for the first time, it takes place in Ipswich and I’d be lying if I didn’t say it feels good to see the SPILL branding emblazoned across Ipswich Town Hall. SPILL will now alternative between Ipswich and London, or at least […]

It’s been a little while since I posted anything new, partly because I have been so busy with work, but as I have a chance here goes… This is the latest poster for The Jazz Meet and it features the brilliance of painter and illustrator Keemo. I just love his style and wish I could […]
