Night and Day Publication
Night and Day is a visual representation of the history of the Manchester Northern Quarter bar and music venue of the same name. The publication captures a snippet of time from this electric and eclectic venue, by documenting the personal experiences, and memories of the owner and promoter of the venue, Jan Oldenburg and Jay Taylor.
Night and Day began as a Fish and Chip shop, but Jan had a vision for much more. He started with having jazz bands perform, sometimes the bubbling of the chip fryers would drown out the sounds of the bands. To now the prestigious, electric, and eclectic music venue, has had The Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys and Elbow through its doors.
The publication is predominately illustrated by paper cut collages, pencils and oil pastels. With sections from the interviews overlaying the illustrations on tracing paper. The publication is printed on GF-Smith Gmund Bier Pils, and Gmund Bier Weizen (paper made from spent grain in the beer brewing process). This project was self-published, & shortlisted for the AOI's World Illustration Awards in association with the Directory of Illustration, books category, and exhibited at Somerset House, London.
