The artwork, which also extends to artwork on the disk itself, employs the geometric and washed-out screenprinted style for which Kate is best known. The album is out now and was recently Rough Trade’s record of the week.

The new album by Kate Nash is out today. Produced by Bernard Butler – “My Best Friend Is You” – sees a development in her direction towards a more indie sound and features a rawer more stripped back approach to her music. To reflect this attitude Big Active were commissioned to create a campaign that has been inspired by references as diverse as 1920/30’s constructivist collage to stateside girl-band iconography from the 1960’s. Mat Maitland art directed the campaign working in collaboration Kate Gibb – who produced all of the silkscreen imagery. Reflecting the personal sentiment in the album’s title the printed imagery takes the form of collages all incorporate keepsakes belonging to Kate Nash, “The silkscreen process gives the visual flavour a much more hard edged organic feel – in keeping with the spirit of the album” . The imagery is integrated across all aspects of the promotional campaign.

This Sunday, November 15th, myself and James Brown will be presenting our wares at Midcentury Modern, housed at the Imperial College, Dulwich. In preparation for this I’ve been working on a host of new editions. Whilst experiencing the usual technical & creative hiccups along the way, I’ve learnt to see the beauty in these creative blips. Not only do I end up with an even more limited edition, the dwindling numbers have created a curious collection of ‘one-off’ test prints. It would seem apparent that however hard I try to produce silkscreens in multiples, my intuition to make something individual, unique even, is far too strong. The show will feature four new silkscreen Editions, here’s a sneak preview. Please come along and say hello.
