We make it better

Found this hound in a terracotta workshop in Spain… She has been very busy making pots.

Gosh it’s been a busy period here at We make it better towers. We’ve been working on lots and lots of new projects and consequently haven’t had time to post much as you can see. Here’s a few bits from the cutting room floor that didn’t get used…

These critters  are from an identity we’ve been working on. A route that didn’t quite make it through although we really like these little guys…

Folklore states that many years ago a Hangman lost control of his senses and embarked on a gruesome killing spree. He would bring his victims to the bottom of a hill in Epping Forest late at night and tie a rope around their necks. He would then drag them to the top of the hill by the rope. If they survived the journey he would chop off their heads and bury them at the top of the hill. Many people still believe the Hangman can be seen after dark carrying out his ‘duties’. It is said that if you drive to the bottom of Hangman’s Hill late at night and turn your engine off, the Hangman will mysteriously pull your car up the hill. If visited in person and, if you can find the actual spot of Hangman’s Hill, the road appears to go uphill when in reality it goes down.

Been meaning to post this for awhile, I keep seeing these images coming up on ffffound. Theyre by tebe_interesno, who I gather is a Russian illustrator. His site here is full of beautiful, funny work, and like all the best things I see on ffffound make me think ” I wish I’d done that”…

Some work for a client of ours, Heartless

Some more illustration today. Seems to be a lot of it about at the moment. We’re enjoying the looseness of it after all the product design work we’ve been doing lately. I’ll post the final piece when it’s signed off…

The rather groovy Design Notes were kind enough to mention us in the weekly link drop last week.

The image above is a project that Michael Surtees is working on currently, a colour study of New Yorkian skies. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. They make beautiful images when gridded like that. Go see it on Flickr
