Symantec Decals

Fairly straight forward this one, multi coloured decals applied to glass for an event staged by the software company Symantec.

They only had the room for a short period, so the installation schedule was very tight. In fact they were only in place for two hours, before being peeled off again.

Such a shame, I thought they looked really good.

Helping recreate Warhol masterpieces

This was a fascinating project we worked on last year, that is finally getting publicity.

We were approached by the artist and screen printer Paul Stephenson who had acquired an extensive set of original Andy Warhol negative separations. Our task was to project them on our enlarger to create the positives required to recreate screen printed art as authentically as possible.

The attention to detail was extreme, even down to the fact that Paul had access to the notebooks that Andy Warhol used, so that he could ensure that the inks and paints were mixed to the exact same recipe as they were in the sixties.

The BBC have just featured an article on their website detailing Pauls endeavours, and publicising the fact that the works will be exhibited (and for sale) at the Buy Art Fair at Manchester Central in a couple of weeks.

Also being debuted at the event in Manchester on the 28th October is a screening of the documentary titled "Business of Making Art", featuring Paul Stephenson, and filmed partly in our workshop here in the Old Kent Road last year. Lets hope the camera is flattering.

Surfers in the Boardroom

This is a cool way to liven up your boardroom.

We were asked to produce a large bespoke wall covering for a meeting room in Pearlfinders in their South London office. Unfortunately, the original image was fairly low in resolution, so once again we applied our retro coarse halftone effect to the image, to hide any unwanted pixels.

We also printed the image on a new product from our substrate suppliers called DigiWall LT, an opaque self adhesive luxury fabric wall covering.

The end result was an eye-catching mural that livens up the space, and provides a tough washable covering for the office wall.

Doisy & Dam Trade Show Stand

Our friends at Doisy and Dam asked us if we could produce self adhesive decals suitable for applying to plywood and rough OSB shutter board.

They wanted to create an eye-catching stand at the 2017 Lunch Show at Excel, to promote their range of delicious organic chocolates.

We suggested using our Supertack vinyl which was printed and CAD cut to shape, we also offered to feed the sheets of board through our heated laminator. This gave a lovely effect because the vinyl conformed to the texture of the board.

Unfortunately, no chocolate samples were forthcoming on this occasion. Maybe next time.
