The day is nearly upon us. The day we go to ‘Play’. Come join in the fun and be inspired by the imaginations of 40+ artists, their interpretations of the theme ‘Play’ for this fantastic Inkygoodness Exhibition.

I was down there yesterday (delivering my artwork – yes, I’m also participating) and the East gallery is literally overflowing with new and eye popping wonders. There’s so much work that the organisers are having trouble fitting everything in, trying to cleverly use up every part of available wall space.

The super talented McBess was also down at the gallery covering the entrance wall with a Gigantic masterpiece. It was quite breathtaking to see him work, and actually shake hands with such a great man.

So what else is there to say. Come and see it with your own eyes. It’s going to be one of the biggest exhibitions of this year.

“…Are you an aspiring designer? Would you like to see your very own design as a permanent fixture in one of Liverpool’s finest bars AND win a pair of tickets to this year’s T in the Park festival?…”

Red Bull are offering you the chance to design a bespoke fridge as part of Liverpool Sound City. The designs should be based around the theme of Sound City, Liverpool and Music theme, however all variations and interpretations of this are welcome.

A panel of judges from Red Bull and Liverpool Sound City will select the winning 6 designs which will then be turned into physical fridges and displayed throughout the Sound City festival as part of the Screenadelica exhibition in the old Rapid Building, before finding a permanent home in a local bar.

Swig a few Redbull’s and start designing because all entry’s should be sent to nick@liverpoolsoundcity.co.uk no later than Friday 7th May.

As posted recently here on TC, designer-duo TADO have recently revealed their new range of products for classic sportswear brand Gola. And to mark the occassion, they had a launch event in Carnaby Street, London. We weren’t able to make in down south unfortunately, but luckily friend-of-TC Punkypickle did make it there and took some great snaps! We hear there were free Tado enamel badges, popcorn, candyfloss AND postcards. Great work guys!!
