Peepshow will be at Pick Me Up in 2012 for a 10 day residency with 'The Museum of Objects & Origins'.Bringing together a collection of artefacts including drawings, objects, prints, and costumes, to be housed in our very own museum. Exhibiting items from an invented past, the collection will also be a living, changing display as themed workshops with the public will create new works to fill the final few empty cabinets.

Coming soon.....

It's all been a bit quiet on here recently but I've been working away on lots of projects over the last few weeks/months, some of which I'm still beavering away on and many long finished but not yet revealed by the client. I've completed work on a silkscreen poster promoting Channel 4 News for the good folks at New Studio London. New editorials for Wired and Out Magazines in the USA and currently in the midst of something a bit different for Creative Review working with master photographer Stephen Lenthall. 2012 will be a big Peepshow year with the publication of our first book in April and something rather BIG lined up easter time. More info when we are allowed to say.

House Sleeves

More lovely record sleeves I fondly remember from '88 including work from The Designers Republic and Trevor Jackson. In many ways my first introduction to design.

Late 80's House/Rap Comps

Main Artery

Whilst flicking through the racks of a soho record shop recently I came across bit of a blast from the past, 'The Hits of House', takes me right back to the late 80's when I was buying my first records. I very rarely buy a record purely for the sleeve but did this time, not that the music is bad, far from it. How could you resist a record with S-Express, Nitro Deluxe, Bomb the Bass and The Wee Papa Girl Rappers all in one place? The sleeve is by Main Artery and turns out they've designed an enormous amount of record sleeves over the last 25 years, including most of the late 80's Stock, Aitken & Waterman output. More here.
