Pubscrawl 2012 – Additional Coverage

The Pubscrawl event was hugely popular, and being the pair of klutz that we are, we totally forgot to take pictures of a lot of it! Thankfully lots of other people (including the beeb!) did and here’s some fine examples we’ve found so far:
Diane at Heart-Shaped did a great write up on the event here and here:

And finally, we even made it onto Look North! Yey! (well, Miss Panda’s head and our friend Graeme’s hand did anyways!):

 

Pubscrawl 2012 – Our Piece

We made a big fat huge projection of Sheffield through the eyes of two simpletons who live here. The piece was looped on a huge screen throughout the night with music provided by the wonderful DJ Miss Panda (aka Fresh Fruits DJs!). We also kitted out The Bowery with all the clouds and rainbows necessary for it to become an overpoweringly cute place to be!

The piece features many many local landmarks, characters and stories… how many can you spot??

Pubscrawl 2012 Aftermath…. WOW!

After a week of crazyness and staying up til 5:20am, we were finally ready for Pubscrawl on Friday… and what a night it was! Sheffield has never seen anything like it before. 10 Pubs, 10 amazing artists and an army of enthusiastic, excited and beer-thirsty Sheffield folk.
We’re writing this on the Tuesday afterwards but still buzzing from the event. It was every kind of brilliant and the turnout phenomenal. It really proved what an incredible and creatively rich place Sheffield is. We certainly felt extremely proud and honoured to be part of things.
We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came down to see us and the other artists at the venues, Graeme, Neil, Corey, Mark, Vanhessa and everyone at The Bowery for all their help, and of course to Pete Mckee, Hannah, Chris and Charlie for organising the whole thing. What a blast it was!
Here’s some pics we took amidst the chaos of setting up!

Pub Scrawl! 20/01/2012

On the 20th Jan, 10 of Sheffield’s pubs will play host to a pub crawl the likes of which has never been seen before!
Infamous local doodler, artist and all-round good-bod Mr Pete McKee has rounded up 10 of our beloved city’s finest creative types and paired them up with 10 of the city’s finest boozers for a one night explosion of brilliance.
We’ve been allocated a smashin pub and we’re currently working flat out on a huge new sheffield-inspired projection piece for the event. Our night will also feature all sorts of silly goings on, with the wonderful Miss Panda taking to the wheels of steel and some new and exclusive goodies available from the pop-up TADOShop.

The night will also feature amazing work from Warp Films, Nick Deakin, Lord Bunn, Ian Anderson/tDR, Geo, Sarah Abbott, Fauagraphic, Fine and Dandy and Tom J Newel.
