American Royalty is Philip and Abigail Smiley, a husband and wife music duo. A long awaited release that they’ve been working on for a number of years. We were happy to work with them on the EP design and came up with a custom typeface to tie it all together.

After years of doing art direction and set design work for other promoters and events we decided to start a night that celebrated life by reminding folks that it’s shorter than you think. Musically diverse and underground pop-up parties at novel venues around East London. Showcasing a wide selection of bands and djs that we love. We’ve done a set of events for the past two years each one larger and more ambitious than the last including our Halloween party where strict dress codes brought out some brilliant costumes. Not to mention the massive dancefloor transformed into a huge Tron-like UV light grid. We’ve gone international bringing our events to India and New York in the last few months.
All posters and flyers were screen-printed by hand with the kind use of the print works at Unit Twenty-Five.

We provided art direction and a new look and feel for the Streeters agency. This included handling all print and web output for the site. With names like Pat McGrath, Karl Templer, Mark Segal and Lachlan Bailey on their roster Streeters has been at the top of the game for over 20 years. We’re working on a new SEO friendly version of the site which will be launching this Summer.

Rakehell’s Revels was one the premiere London nightspots for a couple of years which is about the longevity of any self-respecting night. Running every Tuesday it consistently packed in the well-dressed crowd resulting in a number of commissions to keep the night as elegantly dressed as the guests. Thankfully, it has closed for the time being and has made waking up on Wednesday a far more enjoyable experience.

A selection of work done for the erstwhile central London members bar and cafe which catered to a predominately arts and literature crowd. We provided illustrations such as the technicolour tiger lily below and print design for the various events that took place there.

Long time friends of the family. This project covers a period of events at the Great Eastern Hotel back when it was fun, debauched and never quite knowing how or where it was going to end up. They’ve since covered the globe in vodka and glitter. We drew Tom (based on the perceived skeletal structure of Tom Cruise) the flying skull mascot did eventually end up as a tattoo. Tom, being the character that he is, changed his eyewear depending on the season.

One of my favourite bands growing up as a teenager in Souther California thanks to Pirate Radio 100.3 in the glory days before grunge usurped heavy metal. The children of the devil helped me get through the drudgery of my daily suburban paper route. So it was a dream come true when we were commissioned to provide all the design work for an end of European tour extravaganza. We got tickets to the concert and got to meet Nikki Sixx what more could we want?
