Mr. Bingo - Hate Mail & Anthony Burrill

It was suggested in the feedback that I look at Mr. Bingos theoretical project. This is not something that I have previously heard of and I have enjoyed looking into alternative routes to take my resolution in. 

Trendland.com:

'Mr Bingo is an alluring artist who uses his craft to provide a new form of comedic entertainment.'

'Having won £141 pounds in a bingo game, Mr Bingo’s everlasting love affair with doodling translated into his current occupation as an illustrator who integrates profanity between his audience and himself to cultivate a “wonderfully offensive” (The Huffington Post) masterpiece.'

' ‘Hate Mail’ arose from a brief intoxicated stunt, which resulted in him replying a fellow tweet with a funny obscene message on the flip side of a postcard. From there, this practical joke merged into a successful project that has branched into the “400 Hate Mails” and now the release of his book “Hate Mail”.'

From reading about Mr Bingos Hate Mail that appears to have accidentally happened over a simple Tweet, it is really inspiring to see the publicity that can be gained from sending a simple 'hateful message'. Of course, the postcards are to be taken in a humorous way and not to be taken personally but they add an element of fun with staying in contact with friends. This is something that I would like to consider with my designs and could perhaps be part of the set that I aim to produce.

Another artist I was told to look into was Anthony Burrill.

This is an artist which I could use for a more masculine design or in terms of inspiration towards a more of a quotation design.
