The main series of illustrations I completed for AUB's
One Piece of Advice publication was a zesty collecition to accompany an interview with
The Syrup Room, entitled How To Build An Ice Rink. The design duo's pearls of wisdom included
start with scrap (and neon),
never say no and
always pay fair. Inspired by their trips to junk yards and the straight-talking sensibility of their outlook, the series featured contemporary twists on traditional elements, building up a colourful urban world of hammers, neon lettering and beer. Above all, I wanted the illustrations to be fresh, and as the boys said, encourage people to see things differently in their environments.
