Blackboard for Rosie’s Wedding

Our client Rosie had a 'thing' about chalk on blackboards. But not so much the usual phobia of nails being scraped down a blackboard, but rather a distaste for chalk itself. But she wanted a blackboard for wedding guests nevertheless, so we suggested the very chalky-looking 'gouache-paint-on-black' approach. It worked a treat and here are the work-in-progress pics. The blackboard was seen just at the entrance to the church on the big day.

This week I was commissioned along with another chalkboard artist to support the launch of a new app aimed at bankers in the City of London. Agency Brand Union employed us to illustrate the story behind the app and its functions on 3 huge walls, the largest main wall being inside the building in the café plus two smaller ones outside flanking a pop-up coffee marquee. More pics to follow. Stephen’s Chalk (of Folkestone, Kent), on blackboard.
