Serious post about politics (and Gash)

Another flyer/poster for Gash! at the Macbeth in Hoxton. As is befitting the ad-hoc-anarcho-trendiness of the night, all the information for the event on the coming Friday didn't come through till Tuesday evening, and then Wednesday saw a volley of emails changing the carefully hand-drawn line up change beyond all recognition.


I tried to make a strength out of the quick turnaround and turn the horrible skeletal Gash lens on to something that's current, like a raisin. So I've got fleshless versions of ducks and their duck island, symbolic of the MPs expenses debacle apparently making the whole country ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS (and more racist). As harbingers of a political, and potentially societal, apocalypse they fit quite neatly with the Gash aesthetic (the gashthetic, if you will).

Here's a fascinating insight into how I build up scribbles into drawings using computer magic.

It's black so your battery will last that extra ten minutes, which makes a difference.
