Drink and Draw

Pub Signs

​Tuesday 26 July the Circus of illustration had a night of drinking and drawing at The Park Pub in Bedford. The theme was pub signs.

Throughout the month, leading up to this D&D, we looked for design inspiration. We discovered an artist from Oxfordshire called Michael Farrer-Bell via a British Pathè film from the 1950s. We watched contemporary artist, Dave Young at work. He runs a workshop for Wadworth Brewery. We also looked at a recent Green King advertising campaign. Designer, Dave Newbold, used the pub sign aesthetic in the poster campaign to encourage Londoners to go back to the boozer after the pandemic.
We also had a lot of fun looking at our local pub signs in Bedford and doing little quizzes on social media.
​

At drink and draw we used a random pub name generator created by Marisa. We threw a 20 sided dice twice and drew results. Thanks for letting us use your dice Katie! 


Here are our creations from the night. Don’t you wish these pubs were real? It would make a magical pub crawl! 


Next drink and draw is on Tuesday 30 August 2022. We hope to see you all soon.
