Viva Brighton Issue #58 December 2017

THIS MONTH’S COVER ARTIST
..................................................
You’ll be seeing a lot of Graham Carter’s work
around town this month, and not only on this
month’s cover. The Seaford-based illustrator and
printmaker is the resident designer for Burning the
Clocks, the lantern procession which takes place
on the 21st of December each year, organised by
local arts charity Same Sky. Graham says, “They
contacted me about five years ago and it seemed
like a cool thing to be involved with. The theme
that year was ‘The Deep’. I’d just created a print
based on the bottom of the Brighton sea called
School Run, with all these various submarines and
robots, and the poster I designed was based on that.
I’ve done each Burning the Clocks poster since, and
they’ve built up into a really nice body of work.”
You can purchase a print of his poster for this year’s
Burning the Clocks (far right) – and support the
event – by visiting crowdfunder.co.uk/burning-theclocks-2017.
