GrowABrain & Longlive X Bored of Southsea

Posted on September 29, 2012

Absolutely stoked to bring you a seven colour print for Bored of Southsea. It means a great deal to me to do a print for these guys as they literally hold up the strong island.

Tote, Crew neck Jumper, and Tees

Available through www.boredofsouthsea.co.uk

Here’s what they say:

Mr Russell Hardman, otherwise known as GrowaBrain, grew up on the mean streets of Portsmouth and still considers it home although residing in London. He’s spent the last few years working on everything from album art for power-pop trio Dodgy to designing T-shirts for London based Men’s fashion boutique Sefton. Amongst those, and literally countless other projects, he’s put on two incredible and well received exhibitions of his own work.

Longlive Cooperative is a new collective project that is for anyone and everyone. Primarily a vehicle for promoting nights in Portsmouth and London put on by Charlie Waddington, one of the DJs that made Pet Sounds an umbrella for the philosophy that a good tune’s a good tune and leave convention to duller nights.
This design was conceived as a nod to our hometown, taking a bit of a journey through Bored of Southsea tees that have caught Grow a Brain’s eye over the years, such as French’s Seagull
and ( Junior Bruce’s ) Jubru’s ‘Southsea Bronx Strong Island’ smiling sunshine
but all of course through an inimitable style that is Grow a Brain’s alone.

At seven colours on the T-Shirt and crew neck sweatshirt this is the largest that Bored of Southsea have done to date, with a thick, rich texture that does the ace image justice.

El Penguini

Posted on July 1, 2012

I thought I’d seen the last of penguins for 2012! I couldn’t have been more wrong. I was recently asked to produce a ‘Mexican Penguin’ character/logo for a casino. ‘El Penguini’ was born, El P to his friends. I love that Ive been able to utilise lucky 7 and unlucky for some! 13 in the lottery balls, they are my favourite magik numbers and beautifully my missus’ birthday is 13/7.

Here is an earlier version, I am quite fond of. Looks more like a mean ol’ crow but he is not without his charm.

I took inspiration from a Sombrero I used to sport on my first ever website back in 2006 after a trip to Mexico, Christ that was alot of work rendering those silver Mayan buttons!
