Graphic design

This is the loud end of the shop. Graphic design is where Bert Ernie stops painting and starts building — vectors, layers, bump and shadow effects, mirrored halves, kaleidoscopes stacked on kaleidoscopes until the thing can’t hold any more color. Then he adds some.

Some of these began as a fragment of one of his paintings. You’d never pick which one. By the time it’s been vectorised, mirrored, chequered against a second design and run through half a dozen effects, the paint is playing second fiddle to the machine. What survives is a hint, not a source.

The results are the wildest things wild peach makes. Vivid Hallucinations. Squares of Madness. Bug Out. Dark Diamonds. All-over prints with nowhere quiet to rest your eye, and no two people seeing the same picture in them — which is exactly what Bert was after.

Cut and sewn to order from Bert’s own files. Never printed on a blank. If you’ve come this far into the shop, you already knew you weren’t after beige.
