The Underground Movement

This is a really cool project I saw and have wanted to share for sometime now! It was devised and executed by Victor Milton van Doorn and Alina Dheere Babaletsos (website on www.alinababa.com coming soon!), who have a performance background. This is what Alina said about the experiment: "We had many ideas for the tube but we 'sticked' to the stickers idea as we had time restrictions and we were kind of short of people the days when Vic was in London. Anyway, we thought of things to say and then used the same typeface as the official ones you see on the tube, and then we printed them . We then made a plan to stick them on the PicadillyLline, we were just the two of us, so we wanted to focus on one line".
I really like work that plays with words and displacing things into unexpected contexts - or slightly and humorously altering what is familiar and ignored - , so I think this is a really clever, fun experiment and I hope it will be taken further!

'Half Japanese' and 'The Lovely Eggs' illustrated review

I am posting this sooooo late, but here is some illustrations for an illustrated review I did for Amelia's Magazine of a gig where the band 'Half Japanese' were playing supported by 'Let's Wrestle' and 'The Lovely Eggs'. Amelia Gregory from Amelia's Magazine thought it was quite fitting for an illustrator with 'Slowly the Eggs' as their aka name to do the review which was in very good humour I thought...I also think the idea of illustrated reviews of gigs is a very interesting one! You can read the review here.
