Get seduced by Liam Barrett's events posters – fun guaranteed!

If you’re the sort of person that gets seduced by a fancy invitation to a party then you must have been to the Old Blue Last pub on account of Liam Barrett producing the completely seductive posters promoting some of the nights there. I mean seriously, this guy; he could make a party in a cardboard box factory look enticing (although on second thoughts, that does sound quite fun). Bristol-based and involved in pretty much every illustration event going, Liam is part of a group of young illustrators who like nothing more than to produce smile-inducing prints and sketches all the live-long day. 120% fantastic.

An illustration for a music event poster featuring a green elephant playing a guitar while standing on a person in a red polka-dot dress. Text at the top reads “The Old Blue Last by the Sea at the Great Escape 2012”. The poster lists “Top Secret Headliners” and bands including “Peace”, “Eagulls” and “Trippple Nippples”. Details at the bottom state “Fri 11th May” and “100% Free Entry”.
