This is amazing, we thought we were going to have to sew them all in, but for £3 more we can just iron them on, haha.

Chimp Leeds



Having known the manager of Hip Leeds for a while, he has p sticks and moved down the road to Chimp. He has bought it and has asked me to do some shirts. Obviously with everything happening at the moment I have asked Tom on board as we will soon be business partners and the owner was more than happy to accommodate that.

We have proposed this idea of voiding something that is in our eyes foolish. We have done some designs about ectoplasm, exorcism and seyances. Putting the large cross though the middle of the design shows the voiding in action.

The manager loved the t's and we will be putting them into production soon.



We tried to get an American Apparel account to print the shirts on but we cant as we don't have a tax number. We have opted to go for some Gildan Heavy's but we will take out the labels and put some workshop ones in ourselves. Cool.

Blog Posts



I have been featured on this blog, it's more for websites but it's still good to get the name out there.




Tom's site has been featured on this blog, but they have picked our work out to feature which is good. It is brilliant that they have recognized the collaboration between us both. This is what we need.

Workshop



Me and Tom have been offered some studio space just outside of Leeds in Harrogate. This is above the barber shop that I did some work for. It's pretty much an offer we can't refuse as we are both exited to be working together and potentially start up a 'business' or as I like to call it, a studio.

This is the logo we have come up with. We want to call it 'Workshop' and feel this is a nice way of communicating that. The logo is clean and simple and reflects the way we work.

Website



New updates on the site and a little re-vamp do get the ball rolling. The photo's are the outcome of a long day in the lighting studio. The site has generated a little work such as a photography book for Paul Phung which is going to be published by small independant book publishers Kaugummi Books.





The site has also been featured in Indexhibit which means it is generating about 3000 hits a day!

Espoke LTD



Another free lance job. Just a flyer for an IT compay in Harrogate. Simple aesthetics but a fair amount of body copy and a map make the back a little busy. Customer was happy though, so so am I.

Barber & Mack



I have recently branded a new up-market gentleman's barber shop in Harrogate. This included signage, identity, flyers and appointment cards as well as small runs of poster prints for the opening. I kept it simple but classy as the aesthetics of the shop

This is a client I would love to keep and continue doing work for as I am doing.
