Amongst the usual myriad of statuses and photos on my Facebook news feed today stood a post from Totally Extinct Enormous Dinosaurs, one of my favourite producers, although this post was not about a new track, it was a gorgeous surrealist image. I looked into the post and discovered Double Suns, a company based in my hometown of Oxford who have been collaborating with some great local musicians, as well as writers, artists and film makers, to create stunning screen prints for t-shirts and other objects.
Below are image from the first 3 collaboration but keep a close eye for what promises to be a truly inspired and uncompromisingly creative design series. The next collaboration is with Gemma Pharo, a great montage artist who describes her art as, 'Girls, funny stuff, sports'. Sure to be worth a look.
Adam Gnade
Americana cyclopses combined with delicate golden lotus flowers, printed to soft blue tee's and amazingly crafted wooden, gold leafed and hand numbered covers for Gnade's latest novella 'California'.
Yannis Philippakis of Foals
The sky palace, screen printed with glow in the dark inks to create a sense of other worldly holiness alongside the 'octoid spinner' an entirely hand crafted disc which spins to create non-narcotic hallucinations.
Orlando Higginbottom aka T.E.E.D
Gorgeously serene yet surreal orchid printed with a currently undisclosed screen printed object, orders still being taken.
