Just a bit of revised promotional material for my show next year

I thought I’d create a wallpaper for the iPhone 6/6S/7 and 8 Plus phones

Creating something that isn’t done for any project gives me the opportunity to do some creative stuff

Before I start confirming any sort of date; I decided to look for rough prices for the art supplies I need to get to create NEON NOSTALGIA for next year

I was inspired by the lyric video of Taylor Swifts new song to create a bunch of coloured versions of my brand, it’s nice to see some colour on this Tumblr blog

With the NEON NOSTALGIA Time Travel Art show gradually coming together behind the scenes; I thought I’d show you guys the first test shot of my black light art style that’ll be very apparent when I start screen printing the designs onto foam board

I thought I’d experiment with the font style of my logo

Seeing as I’m basically working towards going into a design job after university, it’s handy having LinkedIn to search for jobs

Creating an RVD isn’t something I’ve ever done before but I never shy away from a challenge

Contacting gallerys for available spaces

Over the last few weeks I’ve been going around Birmingham to find out where I can host my first exhibition next year. I personally feel like I’d only need to have it as a sort of one night show type thing where it would only run for a day or even an evening but looking more into spaces around Birmingham, I’ve found out a bit more about where I could house this.

I’ve contacted the clothing company Bene Culture who are currently based in the Custard Factory of Birmingham; they’re stance on it is if it matches their shop’s ethos then they’ll run it with no issues. I haven’t contacted anyone else just yet but I will need to contact some of the places I’ve found pretty quickly so I can lock in a chosen date.

What if I partnered with Tommy Hilfiger to create a funky yet modern clothing line

Brand identity is important

I present to you NEON NOSTALGIA Time Travel Art

These are the first designs made specifically for the exhibition next year

More is to come

I thought I’d let you all in on what I’ve been cooking up since I’ve been gone; with my third and final year of university coming up, I thought I’d end it all with quite a large exhibition to get my name known in the art world. The goal for my exhibition next year is to use this blacklight idea and use it to create physical prints using UV paints either in risograph printing or screen printing. The idea of the exhibition is to bring back what we all loved about growing up in the 90s and how it’s affected our present day pop culture.
