SHARROW VALE FESTIVAL
As you may have noticed I haven’t dropped a post for a while now… This I assure you is not intentional, here at the Hantu Workshop were still working hard just we’re in the paperwork section of projects, the initial idea’s stage, so we’re all getting our heads down for the summer. Don’t worry however this is always followed by new launches, parties, surprises and all the other good stuff that makes it worth while…
This summer has already been pretty impressive and is only going to get better, with events such as Tramlines taking place in the Heart of the City, Sheffield seems to pull together to create a vibe unmatched by many big cities and I for one will be right in the middle of it all, taking flicks, blogging reviews, catching some rays and generally enjoying the ‘British Summer’.
So ramble over, one of the big summer events took place on Saturday; Sharow Vale Festival. The event was packed with community groups, food stalls and stages for the audience to gather and gaze all day, from 12-6. I lasted most of the day but the sun was just too much…
The Community Stage held various performances from dancing to singing and storytelling, and was being held down like a fort by a close friend of Hantu Collective’s MC Nige. He was rockin’ his ‘not straight’ pink monkey T by us, and asked if we could swap bottoms as mine would match better… I didn’t think it was the time or place Nige, being a community event and all. Sorry.
Some real talent was on display around the field, and another group dedicated to Sheffield and close to Hantu’s heart is Demolition Dance Crew… There were six of the crew present to give an energetic performance that lasted about 20 minutes, in that heat I was struggling not to faint for that time so major props to them! I know MC Nige loves this crew, throwing his heart to them as they left the stage…
Overall the day was well worth getting up for, all good vibes, good music and good people. I’d like to say a big thanks to everybody who got involved from organizing and running the event to standing and watching. Once again big shout out to DDC and MC Nige, I’ve put up my pics below and I’l throw some links up too…
NOT LONG TIL TRAMLINES SHEFFIELD!
Peace and love

Pick Of The Week
Here we have 2 of our recent favourite designs of this summer. First up we have Taylor Heart, a design inspired by the human anatomy and carefully penned down using a fine liner pen. The all seeing eye and pyramid references are something that Taylor himself is very interested in and we love how he drops them into all of his work.
Secondly we have "Elephant" designed by Aaran, with use of some careful digital media collage, he's created a funky space inspired design. Elephants in space, we say why not? It's wacky and fresh on a white t-shirt.
