It's not much but every little helps....

We're giving 50% of every sale of Conversations Cards to Japan.

Two illustrators Benjamin Phillips and Soju Tanaka played predator and prey in blue and orange and created these light hearted, funny illustrations. We've screen printed them and wrapped them up tight in a nice wrapper.

On a less light hearted note, Japan is suffering greatly and it is all of our responsibility to help in the relief work. Every single pound raised will make a massive difference.

Buy the Conversation Cards for a tenner and we'll give a fiver to Japan. Deal? Yes!

PRESS: Flamingo Magazine online

Flamingo magazine have published a written conversation between Benjamin Phillips andSoju Tanaka about their Conversations project, themselves and us, Frinton Press.

Here's a snippet of it; our favourite bit, of course:

Ben: What you think makes Frinton Press so cool right now?

Soju: I was working with Frinton Press for a month. They make lots of ideas which are new, and the ideas are always developing and improved as discussing in the team. They are always trying to do things nobody ever did before. That can be seen from the success of their first wrapping paper project last year. I’m looking forward to their second wrapping paper project they are working at the moment.

Conversations

Here are a few images of the printed cards:

Conversations

Before going away on holiday Frinton Press asked two illustrators to have a conversation together.

One was Soju Tanaka, our current intern and a recent Camberwell Illustration graduate with a bountiful bag of cute, happy creatures and colourful animals. The other was Ben Phillips, another London based illustrator, known better for his scratchy inks of batman, skeletons and dark characters.

We gave Soju the colour blue and the theme PREY while Ben was orange and PREDATOR.

Soju then emailed Ben with a 'prey' image and Ben replied by drawing over it a 'predator' image. Ben then emailed Soju with a 'predator' image and Soju replied by illustrating a 'prey' image on top of it. And so the conversation went on until 6 artworks had developed.

Below are the results of the conversation we found in our inbox when we returned from the sun. Those guys are two powerhouses picture makers and the result was beyond anything we could have hoped for.

The artworks will be made into large postcards and sold in various shops, art galleries and through Frinton Press shortly. Please get in touch (frintonpress@gmail.com) if you're interested in either buying a pack or selling them in your shop.
