HILLTOP HIJINX

On Sunday a few of the studio went to Emily Hill for an exhibition and garden party held by Kult 3D and Sideshow. The exhibition focused on a selection of book covers that have been re-designed by over 50 designers, illustrators and artists.

Each artist chose a book which has influenced who they are today and then interpreted the cover in their own style. A few of our favorites can be seen above.

Funk, soul, reggae and more from DJ's and a live band provided a great soundtrack to the event, whilst live drawing, a public canvas (see Nick painting) and screen printing meant there was plenty to do. You can check out upcoming events and previous magazine issues through the following links http://www.kult.com.sg http://sideshow.sg

JAY'S SHORT TRIP TO MALACCA (MALAYSIA)

Jay recently travelled to Malacca in Malaysia by car over the weekend.
 

Malacca is a unesco works heritage site, with a rich trading history and multicultural heritage. A city rich in history, culture and tradition, it boasts famous historical sites that date back to the 1500s.

Jay visited St.Paul's church, the Maritime Museum and all the antique curio shops from end to end. It was very short trip as she was only there for one day but it was a very interesting and meaningful journey for her.

MONIQUE'S MARATHON DAY

After weeks of training, Monique ran the 2XU Compression half marathon last Sunday. 

"Waking up in the dark to be on time for the 5.30am start at the F1 Pit Building. The track took us via Nicoll Highway along the new stadium, Geylang River, Kallang River, Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands back to the Pit Building for the finish.

After 9km, so not even half way there, the legs were getting tired and the Singaporean temperatures were making the run quite challenging. Nevertheless I managed to run the 21km within 2:03:54 (gun time) and ended 78th place of the 2093 female participants (ranked by gun time). Something to be pretty proud of! Now it’s time to celebrate before setting a new goal."

MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS TRACK DAY

"It was an amazing day out, a great experience. The whole thing felt like I was working on a movie scene."

M50 ART AREA IN SHANGHAI

50 Moganshan Road was once the Chumming Slub Mill. It now houses up to 120 artists at a time. Nick went whilst he’s been working in the Shanghai office. It shows some great examples of contemporary modern Chinese art. Collecting many of their ideas and thoughts. It’s a definite place to visit if you want to be inspired by some of China's most talented artists.

Time to share some new work from the UK Holmes & Marchant team who have refreshed the packaging of the UK cider brand Brothers Cider to celebrate it's fifth anniversary.

The new look uses a mixture of classic and modern typefaces alongside new illustrations, and elements of an early design drawn up by the wife of one of the company’s eponymous brothers.
