This was a postcard flyer (which was actually a postcard) for Duckie's Seaside Variety special marking their 10 years as an alternative cabaret art nightclub for people of indeterminate sexual persuasion.

What with the event taking place in an old Art Deco pavillion and the fact that it was a trip (on a double decker!) to the seaside for a variety performance I felt that I couldn't miss the opportunity to hark back to the old London & North Eastern Railway posters from the early 1920's through to the late 40's - great artists like Tom Purvis, Leonard Cusden and Andrew Johnson inspred this work.

Time: 1 week (my VERY first piece of vector illustration ever...)
Medium: Photoshop
Reference: From a 1930's photo from the De La Warr Pavillion archive

I love this piece, the contrast in the sky and clouds pop the building out.

Sorry not sure why my fav vanished, stupid fecking site!

Anyways faved again and seems to be sticking this time.

This is a wonderful piece and thank you to drawing my attention to this breathtaking building, truely a masterpiece of design which your art work has captured in a wonderful style.

Nice to see there is still some true artists left on DA

Please remember Deviant Art is for Art and not for poorly composed and badly focused snapshots of you and your friends, you will find sites like MySpace catering for that!

Hey Rob -

Well that's very high praise indeed. And thank you so much for making this a favourite...

You're so right about the building too, it's beautiful - the restoration of it was magnificent, you should try and visit Bexhill sometime and see it...

Yeah - it was the perfect way to promote the event, and so I took the plunge and tried to capture the look in vectors. It was tricky though not knowing how vectors really worked at the time.

May I also ask, what is the font used? Been looking for something similar myself.
