new work

some new work to start off the new year, the ‘nutcracker’ poster in a large backlit version, a fake ballet poster for a photography student friend, the brief was ‘make a picture which pokes fun at yourself’ she is quite a large girl and decided to make a ballet poster for herself, i really love the image and was glad to help her…

and the latest poster for the ‘ssst’ campaign for the ‘sugar factory’ nightclub, shown below (image by student marinus heuvelman)

lebeau

these are some more of the amazing posters i saw last week (see previous post) from a dutch (as yet unknown to me) artist/designer called ‘chris lebeau’ who was active in the period in between the two wars, he was an amazing woodcutter and typographer, lebeau eventually died in a german prison camp near the end of the war… definitely someone who i will be doing some more research on this coming year… any tips on this fascinating figure are very welcome…
