Science poster2017

The brief for the Brighton Science Festival poster was a brainstorming session with its Director: Richard Robinson. ''I want to see lots of steam,'' he said.  I hadn't quite cottoned on.  He continued, ''...because the theme will be S.T.E.A.M educational subjects - Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths and can you possibly do a picture like Heath Robinson's Incredible Contraptions, would be great.''  Next day I showed him a couple of loose concepts with a follow-up chat on the phone.  He preferred that I develop the boiler idea -

Final art deadline was brought forward unexpectedly by a whole week!  I kept him abreast of daily progress -

Can only wonder how my artwork will look.
