We were recently approached by the incredible LGBT Charity Stonewall and asked to design a print based on their classic 'Some People..' slogan and logo to celebrate their 25th anniversary.
The awesome Prints Of Thieves hand printed them and they'll be available to buy from their site very soon. It's an edition of 250 and they are signed and numbered. /www.stonewall.org.uk
We were very pleased to have been asked to work on Blood Red Shoes' self titled 4th album.
In preparation to starting it we ventured into antique shops, junk shops, trawled market stalls and walked around various car boot sales to find old postcards and discarded photos of landscapes, roads and forests which we then cut up and layered to create a whole new world for the record artwork.
This design was worked across a Gatefold 12 inch Vinyl and a CD layout. We also worked on two single designs, that tied in with the album artwork. In conjunction with this we also designed a range of merchandise to sell on their tour of the album.
ARIA and MARCS in Australia got in touch wanting us to work on a T-shirt design to help promote the nominees in the run up to the ARIA awards. ARIA is a registered charity to help promote and support music in Australia, and all profit was to go to them from the sales of the T-shirts.
They asked 4 international artists to create a design, each being given a musician or band to work with. We were given The Rubens and the lyrics 'Slow down, don't speak, say something'.

Jersey based company We Wear We Care, asked us to come up with branding to work across their new baby wearing company. Beckah, who set up the company, has a strong identity across her social networking sites and it made sense to make her the visual for the brand.
