Here's a small piece of illustration I did when was at Dazed&Confused. Cannot wait for November Issue to come out! I'm telling you folks it's gonna be one of the best Dazed ever did! So, it was lovely to be a part of it!

Extremes | concepts.

A nail is an irreplaceable element in any modern construction. However, how far can one take the multiple purposes of this object?

The qualities of a nail are undeniable, therefore to take them to the extreme means to remove them completely.

A weekend away.

Right, a while ago we had a lovely working weekend with JULIA (Valerio Di Lucente, Erwan Lhuissier and Hugo Timm). They didn't tell us where we were going, so we only found out when we got there! It was somewhere around Dorset, a proper English countryside (so beautiful, I have no words).
We had two days of workshop with guys and it was quite unusual, most people didn't have laptops, no internet etc etc. So, basically we've been thrown out of our comfort zone. Point - think fast, use what you have, produce and let go! Seriously, I think we have learnt a great deal.
All responses and final outcome take a form of a publication, photos of which I will be uploading later.
For now, check out our lovely group shot!

This is Kingston and we do Graphics anywhere and everywhere!



Check out JULIA designs here. They are pretty awesome.
