I zoomed, and I zoomed, and I zoomed even more on the photos on the website he linked me to, and sure enough, found, nestled comfortably inside a section bordered by the likes of MF DOOM, Madlib, Company Flow, Cannibal Ox and our anticon. You can order one for yourself right here.
I was incredibly curious about how this project came to be, so I reached out to James and had him answer a few questions:. My Dad is a designer and for a long time he worked and freelanced from home, so I grew up surrounded by the amazing things that he used, I remember using his photographic enlarger to scale up pages from my Back to the Future sticker album to copy and draw them and then colour them in.
We met while we all worked together in a design and advertising agency in Manchester and we all had a shared mindset of wanting to make our own things, not just the things that we had to make for clients, but the things that we wanted to make for ourselves and share with other people. Our favourite projects were always the things like the studio Christmas card where we could make anything that we wanted to do, or birthday cards for other members of the studio based on things they do or liked.
So then Ali started Dorothy with the intention of making our own things, and I joined in not long after. Our friend came up with the name, and it stuck! There is no-one at Dorothy called Dorothy. Dorothy is Ali and me, Oli and Rach.
And sometimes when we are really busy, Sonny, Tom, Chas and Maeve. We also work with other creatives like Malik, Tracy and Ian. But no Dorothy yet. Regarding your brilliant blueprint pieces…. Do you have any extensive circuit board knowledge in your back pocket, or is this something you enjoyed the visuals of and decided to connect so many artists together in this way? They started as the idea of wanting to map out a flow of history of music. The first was the Electronic Love print. I wanted them to feel like they flowed through history like electricity through the circuit and connected these artists together.
And the thought of if you connect all these people together in a certain way, something incredible would happen. A long, long time! Sometimes I think they might never end and I could just keep working on them forever, but then Ali tells me to stop. The latest ones are growing more and more complicated! Included on this one are old friends and new… including legendary Anticon co-founder and underground avant-garde rap pioneer, sole! Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do.
