Twoducksdisco is the working name of Manchester-based graphic designer Cameron Steward. Specialising in illustration and screen-printing, Steward produces his sometimes sweet, often amusing, occasionally spooky and always innovative designs as album covers, gig posters, tees and prints.
Browsing through his online portfolio, it seems that Steward has pretty much been the go-to guy for gig posters in the Leeds and Manchester area for a good few years, with Gallows, Tunng, Bowerbirds, Roddy Wooble, Warpaint and Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly all having had their shows promoted via a Twoducksdisco design. His influence stretches beyond the Yorkshire boarders too; Frightened Rabbit and Shoes and Socks Off have both asked him to craft tour posters for them, he was the one of the chosen designers to produce work for this year’s debut of the No Direction Home Festival and his assortment of album artwork includes designs for Ellen and the Escapades, Tubelord and 2000 Trees Festival. If that wasn’t enough, he’s also created t shirt prints for the likes of Tellison, Lanterns on the Lake and Copy Haho. Heady heights indeed.
Twoducksdisco designs all have an element within them that is characteristic. However, they are also incredibly different in their range; whilst twisted skulls may adorn and strange creatures feature in one design, a snow-topped mountain and a sleeping moon will crop up in the next.
