Sometimes you need to put something down in order to remember why you first picked it up. It’s a perspective thing, and it’s easily lost when your head’s down, getting on with what you’ve got to do and keeping everyone happy. So, in the name of sanity (mine to be exact) we decided to have a well-deserved bit of feet up earlier in the year after the Addict launch. It was a good thing to do because it made me realise that there’s no point in rushing about trying to meet your own deadlines if you’re not doing it the way you intended, plus it gave us more time to think about what is next. The knock-on of that though is that there isn’t going to be any Summer line dropping for ‘08, but don’t watch that, it’s only a bad thing if you don’t know what is coming next… So here’s a sneak peak of one Aut/Win design in mock-up stage. Join the mailing list at Not Bad For a Girl if you want to be the first to know when the full line drops.

Just made a new book submission to DGV’s Logos 4, after previously being featured in Tres Logos. This submit includes lots of currently unseen NBFG logos. (Exclooosive!) So, hold tight for the book release! Actually don’t hold too tight, it will be quite a while yet…

Damn, I forgot I did these. They’ve been sittin’ on my shelf until someone emailed me about them last week. I designed these letters a while back now, made them into badges in the summer, indulged my ocd by dividing up the colours and compiling them into alphabet sets… Then promptly forgot about them. Only 26 sets in existence. Mail me if you want some.

My real passion is for designing new styles but I’ve always got time for the odd pastiche. It’s all about what you bring to it. Experimental Jetset’s original Beatle’s; John& Paul& Ringo& George tee has got to be the most emulated tee of recent times. Those guys created a beast, but it was the way they celebrate the other versions that inspired me to do this one back in ‘06. People always ask about this tee when I’m wearing mine and I tell them to go google it! For those that don’t know, these are 4 female emcees from the eighties, famous for their rivalry and battle raps. Roxanne Shante was the first female I ever heard on Electro 6 (my brother had it). It was “Roxanne’s Revenge” the answer to UTFO’s “Roxanne, Roxanne” and it was 1985 and I thought it was the best thing I had ever heard. Roxanne later went on to battle Sparky Dee, and there were many other answer records as part of that never-ending Roxanne saga. MC Lyte and Antoinette also put their issues with each other down on wax in 87/88. So these are my top ladies from eighties battleland. My ultimate fan shirt and one fo’ the heads!
