I've been musing over lots of cut and paste work lately in antisapation for the forthcoming Richard Hamilton Exhibition at Tate Modern.
This is one of my more successful takes on his work, featuring an outfit from gender blurring designer Jean Paul Gaultier, a giant plaster penis from artist Sarah Lucas and Daniel Radcliffe trying to butch up to the camera. Read into that what you want.

*Update. Weds 7th May 2014.
I've been trying to mix up the above (real physical photographs and water colour) with a new graphic digital illustration style with out much success. The styles seem to work better, at the moment, standing alone. The hope is eventually merge the two styles to make this years (my 3rd year designing in a row) Shiny New Festival artwork and then after that who knows.
The past two posters (below) for Liverpool Fringe Festival have drawn inspiration from my 60s vintage movie posters book and the gloriously trashy cut and paste techniques used on the likes of the God Save the Queen artwork that The Sex Pistols used. We had planned to use this style three years in a row but it's time for something new.
Here's a look into my sketch pad so far and the new completely digital style I'm trying to develop.
