Excerpt from “Paper Boats (Or An Introduction To Some Poems I Wrote)” by Dan Campbell. His book “Paper Boats Or Some Poems I Wrote” is amazing.

When I get out of the bath I’m gonna kick back and read this, possible my favourite possession.
Paper Boats Or Some Poems I Wrote by Daniel Jason Campbell (Soupy, The Wonder Years)
Signed, 30/100 European Tour Edition
Soupy gave me this for free at my first Wonder Years show on 11th July ‘09 for creating what he said was his favourite flyer of the tour (and All Or Nothing gave me a signed copy of their split “Distances”). They played a tiny venue near my home, still one of my favourite bands. I had him sign it nearly a year later in May 2010, Lepub Newport. I’ve put the flyer in my portfolio ready for interview with UWIC tomorrow out of sheer pride.
Today I wish happy birthday to one of the most legit guys I’ve ever met, Soupy is the one.

006 / This particular design is quite nostalgic for me. A favourite band of mine toured the UK in support of their latest split release with the british band (All Or Nothing) in July of 2009, and luckily for me they played my local venue and a friend booked them for a show. Although this flyer is a little dated now, and I feel I have improved within practise a great deal since 2009, it’s something I’d love to share with you. You won’t believe how proud I am to say that I designed a flyer to help promote a show for The Wonder Years.
Designing flyers for small local shows was where I started to gain a large interest in Graphic Design, and this image I created always makes me remember some of the great times I shared with friends at The Windsor Club, Neath.This post is for Bowden, Matt and Fash for organising and promoting shows, It’s for all of the local bands that used to play for us every weekend, for shows that used to cost us £3, for Peggy and Daffy at The Windsor Club and every person that I made friends with through this community.
Thankyou for helping me find a passion in design.
