TWODUCKSDISCO - January 2012

We are super excited to have teamed up with the amazing Poster Roast to bring you a 6 month series showcasing some on the UK's most exciting and talented illustrators and designers!

We have asked the designers to come up with a design based around what they think is awesome...

The final installment of our current six-part series is brought to you from Twoducksdisco, who has indulged us with this swoon-worthy owl design ------->

We are shedding a tear here at Awesome Merchandise HQ as this design represents the conclusion of our Poster Roast Design Series , but luckily Twoducksdisco has put the smiles back on our faces with this awesome offering!

Love this design as much as we do?
For just £10 you can buy a limited edition T-Shirt (50 T-Shirt run).  Just order below!

Where do you currently live?
Manchester

What methods and techniques do you use when you create your posters?
Mainly I scan in doodles and arrange in Photoshop. There is no set agenda for a poster until the images are out of my head and in the computer.

Whilst you work what are you normally listening to?
There is never a moment when I’m not playing music and it’s generally feel-good pop and rock. Main-stayers include Bruce Springsteen, Superchunk, Fleetwood Mac, Bill Withers, The Weakerthans and Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

If you could design a poster for a person or band of your choice, who would it be?
Dream poster for a band – either Springsteen, Tom Waits or Superchunk / Dream poster for a person – Michael Jordan (pre-adultry-era).

Who or what is your creative influence?
Artists that I know because it’s great looking at work online but when you get to know ‘the person’ it’s much more inspiring to find they’re human like us. That and Douwe Egberts – Pure Indulgence, Dark Roast.

The Awesome Merch VS Poster Roast Series
We went out to SXSW in Austin, Texas earlier this year and met a load of the guys that contribute toward Poster Roast at the Flatstock exhibition, we were really blown away seeing their work in person.

We are privileged to make a lot of stuff every day here at Awesome Merchandise but what really makes merch & print turn out well?  The answer is simple... AWESOME DESIGN!

In our opinion we don't see enough of it, so, we teamed up with Poster Roast with the express aim of showcasing some of the most talented and exciting illustrators around!  What is great is that we have printed things for all of the designers involved in the past and we often get orders from bands and businesses that are graced by these designers fresh work!
