A screenprinted version of Paul, a friend of mine who I have been drawing for years, usually in fashion illustration classes at Central Saint Martins. For this print, I drew him from life, and each of the layers of the screenprint were drawn by hand, in textures that I love using on these sort of illustrations. For me, Paul is the ultimate poster boy for my fashion illustrations, hence why I have named the print 'Poster Boy'. — John Booth

ABOUT THE ARTIST
John Booth
John Booth was born in Scotland in 1984 and raised in Cumbria before moving to London to study, graduating from Central Saint Martins with a BA in Fashion Print Design in 2009 — during which he interned at John Galliano and Zandra Rhodes. He now teaches as an Associate Lecturer at Central Saint Martins and also lectures at the University of Westminster.

His practice spans illustration, ceramics, collage, embroidery and textile design. He draws inspiration from Karel Appel, Betty Woodman, retro children’s playgrounds and postmodern Italian designers, with colour strongly connected to his childhood in the Lake District.
