Meet the artist: Max Machen
Supporters of local creatives since the first festival way back in 2014, we have worked with some incredibly talented art and design practitioners. From our stand build to our poster design as well as live art installations at the festival. Our list includes Stef Norwood, Kerr Vernon, Sarah Holland, Stephen Murray, Alien Daughters, Neil McDonald, Ciaran Globel, Mac Lab, Glasgow Print Studio, Trakke, Emer Tumilty, House of Pistard, Spencer MacMillan, Risotto Studios and moreā¦
This year we asked the talented Max Machen to bring the vibes for our tenth year celebration, and that he did! Max, a Scottish based printmaker says that his mission is simply to make you smile!
His remit from us was merely to execute a simple design and he sent us some ideas. From several sketches to our finished poster design Max was awesome to work with. The result? We LOVE it and it seems that you do too! We have even commissioned a rerun of posters to be hand printed by our friends at Risotto Studios which are available here.
