I stumbled across this nifty little interview with our resident artist Lewes Herriot last week, a FUSED magazine article from June this summer just gone. Don’t know how we managed to miss this one, but better late than never!
…Lewes Herriot is as fundamental to the thisistmrw brand as the bands and DJs we’ve been booking for the past 6 years. His distinctive style has evolved from watercolour hybrids to etchings and to what currently look like still frames from some alternate reality award-winning anime series; always featuring his own wild creations, always telling some sort of abstract story In their own right. Nearly every artist we have ever hosted has commented on his designs, and it’s little things like this which have helped keep our gigs thriving for so long.
The 60+ posters he has illustrated for us over the years have been so popular with audiences that, on the night of the gig, we often find ourselves without any physical copies to pin up within the venue, as they always get nabbed off the walls, presumably rolled into handbags or trouser-legs as we can only imagine…
All of his work for us, along with his prolific artwork for bands like Johnny Foreigner, Tubelord and even Top Shop – not to mention an even more impressive portfolio of stuff he’s created simply for himself (with prints available to buy – so stop stealing our posters!) can be found at his sites HERE and HERE and HERE
In the meantime, we’ll look forward to more and more jaw-dropping posters, an exclusive comic/art combo with Johnny Foreigner’s forthcoming album, and of course that elusive Lewes Herriot graphic novel/children’s book, which the world needs more than he’ll ever know!
