It’s been a busy couple of weeks here at analogue girl illustration! One of the many projects I have an oar in is this one; a poster design for a ConFAB club night based on a musical written by Rachel Jury. The brief was 1940s glamour with a male / female duality evident in one figure. I went for Marlene Dietrich meets Dita Von Teese with a masculine tailored dress look in burgundy. We wanted to hint at the musical side with the mic in the centre and light radiating out from it, splitting the canvas in two. Duality, splitting, subtlety… see what we did there?
I’ll put the other posters up here when all the text and colours are finalised.

There’s a different dimension to this eye test. I wanted to showcase my new alphabet in the 2011 calendar, so a friend suggested I try an eye test. “Is it easier this way, or this way?” Aside from the cheeky wee title, it doesn’t spell anything, so don’t get too caught up! Are there any other applications for such a silly font?
Oh, yes! The extra fun this year (aside from the complete stylistic overhaul, less poetry and the masses of colour) is that because it is printed on card, you can cut along the dotted line and either keep or send away the image, even after April is long gone. Each month you have a new card to send away – it’s the calendar that keeps on giving really, isn’t it?

Recognise her?
It’s Edward the Bodger again, but she’s been revamped for the analogue girl* 2011 calendar. I’m taking orders now and I expect them to be winging their way out to everyone in November, in time to put your next dental appointment on! They’re retailing at just £10 (then a wee bit for postage): they’re totally new, hand drawn, packed with stories, drawings, poems, lists and silly musings – all this in glorious technicolour. Genuinely something for everyone in there. As long as you’re a bit silly.

This is just a cheeky peek, but to see or hear more, log on to facebook and search for ‘Analogue Girl Illustration’. I’ll tease you with another image shortly here, though.
