henry bear Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Another part of the build up. We’ll be seeing a lot more of this design come June: https://www.theguardian.com/music/gallery/2019/nov/20/the-guardian-illustration-prize-winner-and-finalists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuie Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Erm... I don't mean to be negative. It was an adult competition, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 looking at some of the designs they dont seem to be Glastonbury relevant ... haven't looked in great detail at the terms ... but would have thought this would help ?

henry bear Posted November 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Apparently his work is raw and uncompromising. It seems to reward the viewer the longer they spend with it. It leaves space for the viewer to interpret, yet is vivid and engaging; fresh and new, while having a warm nostalgic edge.

maelzoid Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 I know it's subjective, but I kind of agree with most of the negative comments here. Crucially, I don't think a single one of them has captured what I think of as the spirit of Glastonbury. I think the hippies around the circle is particularly awful, although the execution is not too bad, using 50-year-old clichés of the counter culture is embarrassing.

Quark Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 OK so reading it I don't think they've submitted Glastonbury-based designs. They've submitted work in their own style, and the winner will then be designing the Grauniad's Glastonbury output in that style. The winner one definitely makes my eyes hurt though.

grayfitz Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 The brief wasn't to do Glastonbury based work, they're just previous pieces the artists have done and submitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not suggesting that it’s like the Rodney from only fools and horses submitting his drawing in the kids competition to win a holiday in Spain are you? Anyway the winner will be the one that easiest and cheapest to print on the free bags Edited November 22, 2019 by Ayrshire Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
