About the designer: Interview with Anton Kampf on his Blur shirt designs
Tell us who you are and what you do!
I'm a graphic designer living in Brixton, London. I mainly design and print t-shirts but have also worked on posters and magazine covers. I would like to spend a bit more time designing gig posters and hope I will get the chance this year.
How would you describe your design style?
At the moment my style is very illustrative and has a comic book feel. Depending on who or what I am drawing I might use unusual colours or exaggerate features. I like to change the way I work so it doesn't feel too repetitive.
Are you a big Blur fan?
Are you a big Blur fan?
Blur are one of my favorite bands and I still regularly listen to their music. In fact I would say as I get older I appreciate them more. Obviously I get nostalgic when I hear a classic blur song, whenever I listen to "London Loves" I am back in 90's and it's awesome.
I have seen them live quite a few times and would have to say that for me they are at their best when playing to a festival crowd. I love jumping around getting crushed down at the front near the stage and if the suns out that's even better!!! The last Blur gig I went to was their Hyde Park show in 2009 and they were as good as ever.

How do you get ideas for your awesome Blur designs for the series?
My Blur t-shirts just started out as a few rough sketches then when I started choosing colours and tidying up the artwork I thought they would make nice t-shirt prints. Usually you see t-shirts with the big blur logo or album artwork on it so I thought these would be great for fans that wanted something a little bit different from the mass produced merchandise. Unfortunately I haven't had time to design a Dave Rowntree print but I plan to get working on one ASAP (to complete the set).
