Manila Design Week Banner
For several years I've been chatting with Inksurge, and back in 2005 they did a piece for Pixelsurgeon's Semi Permanent talk at the Barbican. It was nice to be able to return the favour, when they invited me to contribute a large 3 foot by 6 foot piece to Manila Design Week.
The theme for the posters was to propose a solution for solving an environmental problem in cities. I got to thinking, if trees became fashionable to wear, then our cities would be fresher places. I'm not saying I've exactly planned all the details of how that would work (!), but I wanted to suggest this kind of hi-tech/natural back-pack which would help support the tree, feed it and so on. Plus of course they'd also work as sunshades and umbrellas, so it's a little bit of fashion, with a hint of sci-fi, and some positive thinking thrown in!
Will post photos of the banner as soon as I get some, but in the meantime you can see more about the event here
Other artists participating include Tado, Hanazuki, Losfokos, Zoorex, Hydro74 and Niko Stumpo.
