Don't Believe The Type

So I've been off here for a little while now but I've been busy don't worry! I've been practicing my typography with a project started way back in Bristol called Don't Believe The Type where I and a friend make up type based pieces quoting hip hop lyrics. There are too many pieces here to reference them all so I'll leave them here and hopefully you will find them all by yourselves.

Otherwise check out my new Instagram account where I've posted these (but also the song tracks) @fivefingerdesigns

Pierra St. Peacock

   This was a recent project held during a street party that was organised by Small Block cafe, Brunswick East, Melbourne Australia. Which for the first time saw me handing over the creative direction almost entirely into the hands of the public. The day started off with being on site during the morning, painting the outlines and the peacock's features, after which I was handing out brushes and paint pots to anyone that came along and signed them up to get involved.

   It was a great opportunity for me to let go in directing how the artwork grows and I have to say that I was really impressed by the result! It is by far the most colourful piece that I have ever been involved with and I was thrilled by the response that I received from the residents of Pierra Street, not only all the positive comments but also at the sheer quantity of people showing interest and getting their hands dirty. It was a really successful project and it is hopefully something that I can do more of in the future.

The 8 Percent

The most recent project was painting this mural for the media and marketing group The 8 Percent. It's not my usual style but that being said it was certainly good practice for my straight lines, especially over the brickwork. It was a big task to take on but managed to get it done relatively quickly when considering the size of the thing! Best of luck to The 8 Percent in their new function space and I'm glad that I could work with them on bringing the area to life.
