We received an art commission from Northern Stage a few weeks ago that is now complete... Northern Stage celebrated their 40th birthday this year and wanted us to create 'something special' for them to give to all involved as a thank you.
The piece became a collection of 20 postcards with various illustrations depicting the years artists and events involved. We designed and cut out all 2000 of them...our patience levels are much higher now. They were then bound with string, a tag, a match, a candle and some sandpaper and vacuum packed...
All 100 of them...

We celebrated our birthday in the appropriate fashion with tons of food, an amazing cake, two bands, a fiddle, two bars, a massive disco ball, a customised cocktail, a basement that looked like a really bad nightclub and a drawing office that looked like a banqueting hall...
It went on till the early hours...
and everyone had a very good time...
