Surprise 60th Birthday Invitation

On the back of my Aladdin Programme, I was asked to do the invites for a surprise Birthday Party. Can't believe I still had this after 22 years!

Obviously I've had to black out the adress/tel of the person in question!

Lindi's Party

Lindi wanted me to do in invite for her party. At the time, she liked Bagpuss, Pink/Purple, Stars, Færies and The Singing Corner. This is what she ended up with!

 

Thinking about it now - what it needs is a reference to The Bolshoi, as a lot of old goths were invited . Oh well. 

Birthday Card: John, 2014

Remember the Jacquard Anthems logo I did, and my initial idea was for a Sisterized John Judas faircloth?

 

Well, I decided to do it for his birthday card this year.

Jacquard Anthems Clubnight: Nov 2014

Well, the Promoter pulled out, and The Xym was put in charge! How and Why is anyone's guess! But hey, ho, onwards and upwards. 

 

So, here is the poster for the first clubnight I got lumbered with! November, and 15th put me in mind of the Fawkesian Remember, remember the 5th of November. That tied into V for Vienetta and the old Jacquard anarchistic punk era, so the theme followed that.

 

Punkish anarchy, and a V that includes a subtle nod to the Goth aspect with a suggestion of Carl McCoy's hat 'n' hair and Siouxsie Sioux eyes.

Jacquard Anthems Clubnight: Feb 2015

My next design for Jacquard Anthems was for Valentine's. So, being the VERY best in Alternative music, why not alternative Valentine's? Hence this homage to the J.Geils Band. This is based on the original promo for the Love Stinks single. 

 

Jacquard Anthems Clubnight: May 2015

We couldn't get May The Fourth (be with you) or Revenge Of The Si(x)th, and ended up with May the 9th. People requested a Star War theme, and as John is famed for droppinh his trousers, it became the Pants-On Menace, instead of Phantom menace.

I was going to have me all Mauled up on the top, but I'm not ego-centric enough to plaster meself all over the poster, so I just became Emperor Palpitatings. or something.

There was a BEAUTIFUL shot of Top Goth Antonella from the Feb event, where she would have photoshopped perfectly into Amidala... but there wasn't enough room¹, so I just settled for resident DJs Jedi Fry and Darth Faircloth graping their oversized weapons with both hands and flashing them about...

¹ No, Xym, you were just scared prople would think you fancy her (yeah, as if you don't) and end up being thought of as a creep! 

 

Jacquard Anthems Clubnight: Oct 2015

This one, being our second October one is based around Hallowe'en II.

Liqueur promo materials

"You're so brilliant, Xym - do us some stuffs for our band! We needs a poster, and an on-screen infographic.". So Xym did creative stuffs. I also redid their logo, making it much cleaner than their old badly pixelated blurry rough one they had..
