Stussy Beatniks..

It can feel like an age between screening the final colour to an artwork &

awaiting the transition from flat print to wearable garment.

Yesterday a box of samples arrived from the Stussy HQ.

I'd forgotten what the Beatniks looked like although I remember the first guy..

he's a double for Woody Allen no?

I love how they've extracted the patterns I created for the beatniks

clothes & fed them through their classic stock Logo's..

Its all coming together nicely.. & it's a good feeling.

Ah, "Happy Birthday Pop"..

.. It might be the big seven zero for you Dad but I think all the golf is paying off..

Have a lovely birthday & a very happy one too.

'Present Pattern'

My obsession for pattern is getting out of hand.. ideas jumping around the page, not sure which to try and execute first. Sometimes it's easier to transfer this energy in to creating something immediate..
"Ta-Dah", cue wrapping paper & card for Bevans Birthday = instant pattern gratification.
I'm so relieved.
Happy Birthday my lovely friend.
