On Thursday night I went along to the opening of Ben Newman’s ‘Masks’ exhibition in East London. The work was brilliant and worked incredibly well as a series, the basement was full of Newman’s mask illustrations which were carefully crafted and printed to perfection as well as some physical versions (my personal favourites) and the main shop floor had a bunch of beautifully made and illustrated books and prints. He’s also been involved in the Absolut project lately which is worth a peek. I came home and then saw his ad for radio 4 on the tv, bit of a weird coincidence. Big turnout too, good to see deserving work getting recognition. It was a great way to kick off the London Design Festival and I’d definitely recommend checking it out, it’s at Nobrow, the rest of their illustrators have some tasty work too.
