One of my favourite podcasts has been going for ten years. I’ve been a listener since the first episode and have got to know the hosts a little, having done some artwork for a ‘Live in Leeds’ show many moons ago.
To celebrate their 10th anniversary, I worked with Chad & Chris in creating some artwork and other fine wares: a limited-edition screenprinted poster, plus tshirt and tote bag designs, which are all available for purchase here.
As the pre-order window is about to close and these will soon be sent off to print (by the super handsome and talented Prints of Thieves), I’ve been getting the artwork print-ready and thought it might be nice to share some of that process.
Colour Separations
The artwork was done as a digital painting initially. It takes a little bit of work to convert the mess of a Photoshop file – with all it’s layers, and masks, and effects – into something that’s ready for screenprinting.
Here’s a little animation of the poster artwork now it’s been colour separated, showing how it will be printed in four layers of magical ink:
And as an added bonus, here’s the presentation of ideas which I sent the guys for their input, along with the original sketches from my trusty FIELD NOTES notebook.
I’ll update again with some images of the final products. Until then, stay safe and watch the stars…
Hi just wanted to give yoou a brief heads uup and let yoou know
a few of the images aren’t loading properly. I’m not sure why butt I think its a linking issue.
I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.

Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it! Couldn’t figure out why the image wasn’t linking but I reposted and it seems to be linking again. Cheers!
