PIXIES WORK IN 3D TYPE BOOK BY FL@33

Three of my images (the purple "Pixies" ones on the right hand page) for the Pixies Minotaur box set have been featured in The 3D Type Book by FL@33, published by Lawrence King. The lovely nailed "Pixies" was done by my equally lovely friend, Rosie Upright.

Happy New Year

Bring on year 2010! This week I've been working at Bay Media (the lampost sign specialists) and Wolf & Badger. On the side I've been taking photos with my new LC-A bought for me for Christmas by my lovely boyfriend and my lovely mum. I haven't had anything developed yet so............anyway Minotaur is in NME! And they've featured a page I did (the track list/bruise-ish page).

Pixies - Inside the Minotaur

Here are some of the spreads from the Minotaur box set which feature my graphics alongside photography by Simon Larbalestier. Photos of the book (from inside the box set) also taken by Simon. Scroll down for more Minotaur related posts or come to UCA Epsom (see post below) tomorrow where Minotaur will be shown and the people involved will talk.

"I don't remember any item coming into the Pitchfork HQ and turning this many heads-- people's jaws dropped into their coffee all morning. If we were reviewing this and we were telling the average person what we think of the thing, you could argue that the score should be a 0.0. To say that Minotaur, a mega-deluxe repacking of the Pixies catalogue sold in two different configurations, is for fans only is some sort of Hall of Fame-level understatement. It sets a new record for box set grandiosity." - Scott Plagenhoef.

Pixies - Minotaur Exhibition 15/06/09

Wow last night was AMAZING. The exhibition looked beautiful. I had the honor of meeting Kim Deal, Frank Black, Joey Santiago and Terry Dowling (the wonderful man who taught Vaughan Oliver). Our work lined the walls as the Pixies played a 45 minute set to about 300 of us. It doesn't get much better than that! See footage from the exhibition here.
