Scouser’s Prerogative by Owen Rutland

A conceptual zine that documents the tradition of stealing pub glasses, it was used as the initial research and foundation for the visual identity of the ‘Scouser’s Prerogative’ project.

The project is a satirical take on the negative stereotypes of scousers and the working class, presenting a collection of ephemera that forms a crimeboard familytree that explores the culture of pub glass “theft”, specifically focused on Owen’s familial association with this culture.

Although parts have been exaggerated and or fabricated, Owen was influenced by his and his dad’s real tradition of taking pub glasses, as well as his late grandad’s sticky fingers - a lot of which was only revealed after his death. Almost like a memorial service to him.
