Phase Two.

Been busy trying to find studio premises but phase two has just begun.

Sent out briefs today, asking six hot to trot illustrators to give us some images based on imaginary bands for our display in Rough Trade.

Check out these peeps:

Siobhan Maguire
Jake Blanchard
Sal Ali
Amy.B
James Trimmer

The final illustrator is Vicky Torrance, but sadly this pen grasping wonder woman has yet to set up her site so no sneaky peeks I'm afraid, but we promise you she's dead good.

Finally, we're up...


Sadly, due to finances, or lack of, we ran a little over schedule... Not to worry, been printing all week and finished off what we set out todo all those days ago...


Plans for more 'I Prompt You' projects are in the pipeline, including an event in association with 'The Big Draw' so keep your eyes peeled and your ears pierced. But for now, go check out the stuff we just put up in Rough Trade.

Some general nice photos.

Whoop whoop.

We're running a little later than planned, but hey, that makes us cooler, doesn't it?

Bye for now.

Brick Lane Alphabet Poster.

Cropped and ready to be dropped...off.

Took this sample print to Rough Trade today who have agreed to put up all six alphabet posters (2 each from Southbank, Covent Garden and Brick Lane) as well as give us a permanent space for an 'I Prompt You' whiteboard, so keep an eye on the shop as we'll be installing soon.

Post Tweaking Poster Pulling.

We've been busy...But not as busy as others!





The 'If you could' guys were at Print Club whilst we were making these, props to those guys who managed to print close to 200 two colour prints in the same time it took for us to print 15...Oh well, we blame it on the hangovers, promise.

Covent Garden Alphabet x2







Two more alphabets collected, it's great seeing the collection grow but the thought of all the scanning and tweaking needed to make these postcards into posters makes us run to the cafe and buy vegan coffee.Yuck.

Covent Garden Collection.





Spent all of Sunday wandering around Covent Garden, loads of lost tourists and angry people because it was raining, very slow start as no one seemed interested in participating, so we upped our ante and started going into shops, much to the annoyance of many shop floor supervisors. Mentioning no names; long haired idiot guy.

Southbank Collection


Went down to the Southbank and planted ourselves on the astro turf, collected two full sets of 'I Prompt You' alphabet cards.

Plus we met a wicked little chap called Charlie.

Prompt Card Creation: Stage One






We spent the last couple of days printing 260 of our branded prompt cards ready for Day One of people scrawling on them.
Stage one was the fun part with satisfying results, printing and looking cool hanging out at Printclub London. Nice.
These are some photos of the finished printed sheets, ready for stage two...

YCN Live launch night.






First batch of postcards collected at Underground Village, amazing reactions from all and sundry, out of the 30 people participating not one of them was a natural left-hander. Lots of fun was had by all, free booze and free balloons went down down a treat and lots of positive responses to our prompt cards. And some rude ones...

Postcard Creation at Print Club, Dalston.






With only two hours until the YCN Live launch at Village Underground we set about printing the first series of postcards.
The event started at 6pm and we were still printing at 6:10, after a few blasts of hot air from the hair dryer the cards were dry and ready to be adorned.
