Bradley Wiggins Mod Paper Doll
Having seen the Donovan Paper Doll some years ago Piper Gates has been been waiting for a subject worthy of such treatment. Cue cycling champion and all round ace face Bradley Wiggins. With his cycling by day and ace face by night persona Bradley made the ideal candidate for the paper doll treatment. This Paper Doll set contains two 400 mm x 300 mm prints. One contains the actual paper doll which can be cut up to make Bradley's different personas. The second print contains the made up paper dolls for those who don't want to go crazy with the scissors. Each print is signed by the artist and printed on high quality 250 gram silk paper this set comes as a limited edition. Last copy available here

Up All Night Part 2


Piper Gates were once again asked to create the cd cover for Going Undeground's latest happening which takes place at Lock 42 on June 4th 2011. Continuing to base the design on Phil Smee's legendary Rubbles series it was decided to visualise the look of the Rubbles series had it been conceptualized by the design department responsible for the Top of the Pops compilation albums of the 1970s.

Going Underground revisited


Piper Gates was very pleased to be asked to design the cover for the free cd to be given away at Going Underground's first allnighter on March 5th 2011 at Lock 42, Leicester. The concept for the cover was to make it a homage to Phil Smee's groundbreaking design work on the Rubbles compilations but with a typical Piper Gates twist re-imagine the Rubble design had it conceptualised by the design department of K-Tel Records in the 1970s.

Going Underground CD Cover

CD cover for hip, happening Leicester mod night Going Underground. I wanted this cover to scream out 1966. The influence of Blue Note Records really shines on the back cover while the front uses an image from Rave magazine heavily re-edited in Photoshop to show how we now perceive the look of the 1960's.
