Since we can’t show any of the projects / seasons we’ve just completed, here’s an insight into our process. 95% of our graphics start with a sketch, and are all hand painted / inked for authenticity. No Photoshop brushes here!

Shop @ Lazarides
Jan 8th, 2010 by R.Hero
Lazarides Gallery represent some of the most acclaimed young artists in the world today, including original artwork and prints from Antony Micallef, Faile, JR, Vhils, Stanley Donwood, Jamie Hewlett, and Zevs to name but a few.
In need of their first ever e-commerce website, they came to Reluctant Hero for all website graphics and art direction. Working closely with their web development team, we came up with a design that reflects the Lazarides’ unconventional attitude and staple of artists.
View the project here, and the live website here.

In October 2009 we were asked by 2K t-shirts, to join their impressive list of artists and illustrators. We’ve been long time fans of the brand, stocking it ourselves in Electrik Sheep for over 3 years, so were more than happy to contribute.
Several of our tees have been selected for Summer ‘10, we can’t reveal the designs yet but as soon as they’re available we’ll post them here.
Exhibitions ‘09

We curated shows from artists Si Scott, Amy Dover, Seb Lester, and finally a massive Jon Burgerman solo show, the walls in the gallery were never short of amazing over the year.
Here’s a selection of photos from the year in the Electrik Sheep gallery. Photo credit to Richard Kenworthy & David Bilbrough.
