Eye O' The Dug

I've designed a logo, and have also been working on a few posters and web bits for a braw new festival that Fence Records are staging in St. Andrews this April - Eye O' The Dug!

The artwork is intended to tie in with the cartographically-inspired artwork for their new Chart Ruse subscription 7" series (David Galletly is designing the sleeves for those, and the first one is a beaut).




The original brief was to produce a logo representing St. Andrews as the dug's eye on a map of Fife, but I've since manhandled the project down a dank tangent of my own making, which basically means that I've gotten to draw some dog-based cyclopean sea monsters. Good times.

You can find all the info about the festival at the Fence site here, or at the official Eye O' The Dug website (currently still in the tweeking stages at the time of writing). All up in the Facebooks here.

More sea beasties still to come!

The Hurdle Hop

Saturday 31st July sees the inaugural Hurdle Hop one-day festival, happening at the West Hill Hall in Brighton, and organised by the good people at Shhh! Promotions, the delightful Simple Folk, and our friend Peter.

Peanut Snake had hoped to be attending this, possibly performing Pine Cone Kick, but unfortunately, the promoters have simply booked too many other great acts (and also Peanut Snake will probably be moving premises on the day in question, blast it!).

Nonetheless, anyone in the locality should get on down there and check it out, really quite an astonishing line-up for just a tenner!

The Hurdle Hoppers kindly asked Peanut Snake to do the poster duties. Above you'll see a poster that I mocked up with my own text (the official one is a bit different, check it oot here.) and below you'll see a 'bumper sticker'/banner (never too early to think about bumper stickers!) and the 'non-cyclops' logo variant we designed for them. Ooh ya!
