The lads from Tall Boys asked me to design a poster for their new open mic night event 'Tall Tales'. They wanted it to coincide with the end of my exhibition so it would have to be Simpsons related and have a similar aesthetic to my exhibition. I think its really cool how willing Tall Boys have been to embracing my style and they do love it; describing it as 'savage' and 'punk'.
The whole experience with Tall Boys has been the most imperative to my PPP journey - a lot has come out of it and it reiterates to me that people will come to me for my style and way of working - and even though posters like this are so lo-fi it doesn't mean they can't belong in my portfolio or in a professional setting.
GOING HOME?? After university, I am wavering between where I want to live and be situated as a creative - but these experiences make me want to stay in Leeds and continue as a young creative here and build a name for myself, just like illustrators such as Matt The Horse and Kristyna!
