Made In Earnest

Can’t say too much about this ongoing project at the moment, but I can let you see a sneak preview of the collage I am working on which will form the basis of the artwork for a forthcoming album. I’m making life size collages of the front, the back and the insert for the CD. […]

I’ve been working for the Actors Touring Company recently, designing the promotional material for a recent show, The Golden Dragon, an interim company brochure and I’ve also done all the promotional material for their interpretation on the Sarah Kane play Crave. Crave is a contemporary classic, a ground-breaking work that challenges notions of what makes a […]

New poster and e-flyer for Nicole Conibere’s Practice at the Laban Theatre. Practice is a playful and intimate exploration into what we practise when we go to see theatre. Developing its logic from questions of what a person can look like, or how we recognise a body’s form, it explores means of display and physical […]

I am pleased to announce that I am officially a ‘Spotter’. By that I mean, I have joined the travel website Spotted By Locals as one of their locals for London. When I started my Made In Earnest City Guides in 2008 with a guide to Helsinki I was asked by a friend how I […]

At the moment we are, not surprisingly, in the process of getting ready for the festivities but work hasn’t stopped just yet and the initial designs for the SPILL Festival of Performance 2011 brochure are coming together nicely.

It’s a rock album. It is an art project. It is also a collaboration between Made in Earnest and Stephen Kenny of a two pipe problem using old wooden type to give an unpredictable edge to the printing process. I love the way the wood type takes on a life of its own, each surface […]

For those that don’t know, SPILL Festival of Performance is the UK’s premiere artist-led biennale of experimental theatre and live art which began in 2007 and takes place in a variety of venues across London. The festival is produced by Pacitti Company, the Artistic Director is Robert Pacitti and Made In Earnest are responsible for the identity […]

This is precisely the sort of job I have redesigned the site for, as previously I had nowhere to put something that didn’t warrant it own dedicated Portfolio page. Now I do. It’s a simple one-off flyer design for a relatively new night at Barrio Central run by DJ and avid record collector Jarred Rice. […]
