Maiden Voyage

Before his studies in graphic design at Camberwell School of Art had confirmed his particular commitment to the letterform, Errol Donald had long been fascinated by the visual presentation of letters and words, and in particular, their ability to both inform and express different aspects of culture.

Throughout a professional career spent in graphic design and brand development, Errol’s journey has followed an unconventional path, in many ways, similar to the journey taken by the graffiti art movement, of which he is acknowledged as a key figure and advocate. By citing the influences that inspired him while working as part of The Chrome Angelz during the 1980’s, he will chart the course of a journey that has seen him navigate the creative divide and changing attitudes, into new territories and exciting point in his career.

Sharing his unique, and personal experiences, he will offer insights into the origins of graffiti culture; it’s pioneers and the ongoing style wars waged by a community of artists who continue to explore the possibilities of the letterform.
