Attack of the 50ft Killer Penguins

The next penguin related brief to come from Arctic Circle was to create an image for a series of 'electro' nights, one to be held on 6 September at the ICA featuring John Metcalfe Band, The Shortwave Set, Pedro, Inchtime and Mr Hopkins Computer. 
The second night was on the 10 September and back to the Notting Hill Arts Club for an evening of and had Errollyn Wallen, Lol Hammond, Anil and HL.
The image above was the one used for the actual event but with a bit of digging a few other 'also rans came up which I have shown below, I have a sneaky suspicion that there were others so if I come across them I post them too.

The red carpet treatment

After all the talk of the Golden Globes in this morning papers, it's quite a coincidence that Arctic Circles' second outing was based on an evening of artists who had written scores for film!

The second AC event was at the Notting Hill Arts Club and featured Joby Talbot, Alex Heffes, Molly Nyman and Harry Escott as well as Fuzzy Lights , the Arctic Circle Orchestra and visuals provided by Bad Hand Film!

The illustration this time was done by the talented Shwetha Gopal. Here are a few more images that were created for that event which weren't used. I'll be digging through my old hard drives to see if I can come up with any more, Thanks to Ben for these images and the short animation that was created by Greg Steadman as an e-flyer.

 

In the begining there was light…

It seems quite apt now that the first image created for Arctic Circle should feature light, it's almost biblical! This image was drawn by Miho Aishima for the inaugural night of the Arctic Circle at the Hayward Gallery on 17 March 2006. A Dan Flavin exhibition was running at the time and to tie things in a bit with that Miho went for a tongue and cheek "light theme" that played on the work on show at the Hayward. So the AC penguins carry all forms of light from a firefly to a lightsabre!

The artists for the first night were Minotaur Shock, the High Llamas, ISAN, Instrumental (featuring Andy Nice) and a DJ set from Mr. Eshmade.
