The Poop Deck Project
I was lucky enough to be part of an evening of pirate based illustrations and rum drinking. AMMO magazine teamed up with Inky Goodness and over 50 illustrators to create a very unique set of playing cards. They were then displayed as framed prints in the rather fancy and lovely Coningsby Gallery in Fitzrovia. Here's my illustration, some photos and even a video of the evening below. You can still check out the rest here and even buy your own pack.
On Tuesday 30th April 2013, Inkygoodness & Ammo Magazine set out to present their first joint illustration exhibition: Beermat Characters + The Poop Deck Project. Showcasing the incredible talents of over 150 international artists & illustrators chosen especially for the project by Inkygoodness and Ammo Magazine, the results culminated in a colourful and diverse display of artwork at The Coningsby Gallery in London for just one week. This short film captures the process of curating and hanging the exhibition, and the buzzing excitement of our celebrated launch night - we hope you enjoy watching!
