#MASI Exhibition 2011

.....................................................................................................................................................................................
52 Princess Street the home of Creative Lynx and Bert™ played host to the #MASI exhibition last night. With a great turn out the night looked to be on course to be a big success. The exhibition was kicked off with a thank you to all the attendees and the sponsor for the night. Chatting with James Oconnell the organiser of the exhibition It quickly became apparent that the creative community of Manchester are more than happy to get involved with night such as this is. I found myself drawn to the work that had been submitted, and I have to say that the quality of the pieces were top drawer. Check out some of the illustrations below, the exhibition runs for the next couple of weeks 9am - 6pm and the prints are available to buy online. Visit #MASI site for more details. The night was all in aid of a worthwhile charity called The Wood Street Mission I was introduced to the work they do by Trevor Johnson, they have been helping under privileged children in Manchester since 1886 and all donations go to help them. A great night, with great work, for a great cause.

Trust Design and Wim crouwel







............................................................................................................................................................................
Truth Design have recently worked alongside the legendary designer Wim Crouwel to create their 5th year
anniversary poster. Here at selfmadeheroes we are big fans of both Trust and Wim Crouwel so when we saw that Darren was doing a poster swap we jumped at the chance of owning one of these limited edition posters. After a couple of tweets it was sorted
and I am now the proud owner of my first piece of original Wim Crouwel design. (Had to part with an awesome Golden Limited edition poster as part of the deal tho, however it has gone to a good home. Follow @TruthDesign for your chance to get one, also check out @GLDN as they also do some great work.
