Eddy’s re-imagining of cult classic’s are a treat. They’re damn cool, if the guys at Mad Men were coming up with the perfect poster for their next Lucky Strike campaign, this guy would be at the top of their wish-list. Like you’re favourite hard-boiled detective novel, his work comes liberally doused with hard drinking men, rouge lips and dead bodies. His bold lines, crisp colours and noir shadows create all the tension of your favourite thriller. This guy is good… so good I have his work hanging in my bedroom. But don’t take our word for it, take a look at his latest project and check out what he’s got to say afterwards…
A new series of work specifically designed for silkscreen printing. Recently I’ve been focusing more on the process of designing for print, rather than trying to digitally mimic the results of a screen-printed image. This work has been produced in conjunction with two galleries, one here in the UK, and the other in the US specializing in pop-up exhibitions in some amazing venues.
What do you do when you’re procrastinating?
My latest phase has been searching the web for rare records, just to find things I really want but cant afford.. You tube is far too easy to get lost in too.
How/When/Where do you do your work?
Commercially, using cs6 on the computer. I try to stick to 9-5 weekdays but usually end up working into the evening and beyond, hence me writing these answers out in the early hours of the morning! I work from home, but I can be anywhere that is relatively quiet and has a steady internet connection.
How do you earn the rent?
From freelancing and selling prints online from my shop (insert cheap plug web-link here!). Im thinking of halving the freelance game for some design orientated job tho, I want to learn more about the world of publication design and high end graphics.
In five years time you would like to be…
Still working in the industry full-time, as long as i’m making art or designing i’ll be happy.
In five years time you will be…
I have no idea, thats the most exciting thing.
Final words of advice…
Take advice with a pinch of salt, others experiences may not apply or work for you. Aim for a “Just Do It” mentality.
