ZEROH + FRIENDS TSHIRT POPUP SHOP
To coincide with the opening weekend of Hastings Arts Festival, Coastal Currents, we organized our first TShirt Pop Up shop in a back alley that had more than a passing resemblance to a New York equivalent. We invited 10 artists to take part in the 6 hour flash sale by supplying us with one off or short run editions to be sold exclusively on the day, for many of the artist it was the first time they had produced Tshirts. Approximately 40 shirts were sold during the event with a great response from the public to the concept and artwork on display. Further Pop Up adventures are planned. Artists who took part on the day included: Dr.Noki’s NHS, Screen Prince, Beccy McCray, Shaun Mills, Martin O’Neill, Grande Dame, Shuby, T(error)ist, Alex Cox and we had some classics from the Church of Sub-Genius and Bob Dobbs. More images and info coming soon. Photo by @alexbrattell
DAWN CHORUS_COASTAL CURRENTS FESTIVAL
Back in May we were approached by Lorna Crabbe and Tina Morris from Coastal Currents Arts Festival, Hastings, with an invitation to curate and create a production for the opening night of the festivals 15th year, in the towns wonderful St.Mary’s in the Castle venue. Using the theme of a Dawn Chorus, inspired by specially commissioned feathered sculpture features by Kate Mccquire in the venues crypt, we invited Sound Artist and producer Riz Maslen aka Neotropic, vocal sculptor Jason Singh, baritone Le Gateau Chocolat and local choir leader Claire Hamill to take part in our interpretation of a Dawn Chorus. The night was deemed a massive success with the venue seeing its busiest night ever. More info and images from the evening are forthcoming.
BY OUR SELVES
Artist, Writer and Film Director Andrew Kötting asked us if we’d print some of our artwork from our ‘We Can’t Fight Your War…’ series for his Kickerstater fund in aid of his film ‘By Our Selves’. The film retraces poet John Clare’s journey from Epping Forest to Northamptonshire accompanied by a straw bear. The film will feature Iain Sinclair, Alan Moore, Toby Jones and a Straw Bear. Of course we obliged and five of the nine prints offered were snapped up within 24hrs, raising £500 for the project. Our involvement is set to continue in the project towards the end of the year.

THE STINGER ARTICLE
After designing the cover for their second edition in April, music bi-monthly The Stinger sent journalist Grace Vogiatzis round to our studio to talk about about how music has influenced our work and played a large part in our career so far. We also produced a Spotify playlist to accompany the article, of tracks we work to. You can read the article online HERE and listen to our selection HERE.
QUADROPHENIA DVD RELEASE
On June the 10th a document of The Who’s Quadrophenia Tour came out on DVD in the UK, shot at the O2 in London it went to number one on the Billboard Music Video chart in America two weeks later. You can read about our involvement in the show here
THE STINGER MOTH
ZEROH were commissioned to illustrate the cover of Hastings music magazine The Stinger second edition.
The publication is available in various pubs, clubs and shops in the 1066 area. The brief was to produce an image about ‘mastering’ and they requested a Moth form so we took elements from both the analogue and digital mastering processes – tape heads, reels, equalizers etc – and created a motif which is actually our first colour Moth shown publicly.
You can view the original image on the sister website zerohstudio.com

HASTINGS PIER HUB TRYPTIC
IN CELEBRATION OF PROMENADING
Today we installed our new commission for Hastings Pier Charity, at their new home ‘@ The Hub’ with branding and a commissioned design charting the history of promenading in Hastings and St.Leonards. Hastings Pier Hub is a building the charity have taken over while the reconstruction works are on going and was originally an Art Deco swimming pool.
The tryptic features photographs taken on St.Leonards and Hastings Prom from 1880 onwards and a fantastical impression of the future pier.

HASTINGS PIER HUB CALLOUT FOR PHOTOS
CALLING PEOPLE OF HASTINGS
AND ANYONE WHO HAS VISITED.
Hastings Pier Charity has commissioned us to create images for the recessed windows in the new Pier Hub building at the site of the old White Rock Baths, and we are looking for historical photos of Hastings Promenade to help us create two montages. We’re looking to show people, attractions, events or oddities which have happened on the prom.
One of the montages will feature images ‘through the ages’ and the other will focus on 2013, the year the work started on the new Pier.
We’re looking for clear high resolution images as the montages will be quite large and will be on display for at least the next 5 years. We’ll be crediting all those who are included.
If you have any images you think we might be interested in and want to become a part of the Piers story send them to submission@zeroh.net Please feel free to share this message.
