In each issue of Suit Yourself, Creative File goes behind-the-scenes to talk with Bristol creatives in their own working space. This issue, we’re chatting with local graffiti, illustration and design duo Richt and 45rpm at Richt’s home studio in the centre of Bristol. So what do you do exactly? If you’re creative you want to try everything, so we do. One week it can be editing and the next designing. It’s good to jump about and keep things fresh. How did all of this start? The crew started in 2002. We met through a mate, realised we were into the same style of work so collaborated from then on. Working as a crew means you can bounce ideas off each other and push your work further. It’s midnight, you’re clean out of ideas and have a pressing deadline - how do you find inspiration? Start again - if it’s not working ditch it. A brand new good idea is better than an almost finished bad one. Then type “dogs in fancy dress” into Google.
