The Brandery

ButiClub is making friends with fashion. Our homemade press passes allowed us to meet beautiful models, designers and personalities.

‘ButiClub, so hot right now. ButiClub’

Look it’s Charlie!

Painting Godzilla

We were recently commissioned to make a short film for Watx&Colors. Time was short, the set kept moving and our lead Godzilla was late. Seriously though, it’s amazing what you can achieve in 21 days without sleep.

This exclusive making of reveals a few of our castle tricks. Music by Bag Raiders (thanks for making us look good guys).

Matadero Madrid

We have just returned from our Madrid reconnaissance mission. We were given a tour of the Matadero creative space which will soon host Día de la Música festival.

Mind Travel

Each year New Era invites select artists from across the globe to develop an artistic interpretation of their classic cap. This year Dave was chosen as 1 of 15 artists in Spain.

The project puts a huge emphasis on both concept and the creative journey. With two weeks from the delivery date, the pressure was on to create something that would make hats turn.

Sit back and enjoy!

Hungry Castle welcomed visitors to the ButiClub Exhibition in Barcelona.

Fifty hand crafted butifarras and large format prints made this an unforgettable spectacle.

Enjoy!

Yorokobu magazine

ButiClub received some extra special attention this month in the always incredible Yorokobu magazine.

It’s a Spanish publication. If you are in Barcelona make sure you pop into Fnac to pick up your copy.

Thanks Rafa Soto for your kind words & Yorokobu for selecting our project!

You’re invited!

It is with great pleasure to announce that we have sliced, stitched and stuffed fifty authentic butifarra sausages in honour of our ButiClub members.

These beautifully crafted members will be on display for all to admire at The Private Space Gallery on Friday the 8th of July.

For those of you who are unable to attend this epic event in Barcelona, please follow us at our Facebook folio.

Long live the butifarra!

OFFF Barcelona

OFFF brings together studios, artists, designers and creatives from all over the world to share their experiences and latest projects. This year we were lucky to be amongst the best of the best as we presented our mildly hilarious experience in creating the first club (that we know of) dedicated to the appreciation of the butifarra sausage.

The presentation was a success and yes that is Stefan Sagmiester wearing a ButiClub badge!

Building castles

We wanted to create something special for our clients & friends.

400 teeth, 80 eyes and several hand painted hours later, these playful pieces were alive and ready for battle.

Send us an email if you’d like to see one in your city (castles like to travel).

Today we are listening to a playlist from our friend Lucas.

He says its: “Musica para bailar raro -Music for a weird dance.”

Play #1 – Agudélico

Today we are listening to a playlist from our friend Agudélico.

He says: “There should never be a reason for doing something, simply the passion that takes us there – it’s an emotional world.”

If you “like” the idea, well make sure to share again soon.

Wallpaper exhibition

Art & Design Barcelona invited Hungry Castle to take part in their wallpaper exhibition. The challenge was to create something engaging within the format of a record cover (31cm * 31cm).

Keep your eyes on some of the other artists including Adrià Fruitòs, Conspiracy Studio, Luis Pérez Calvo, Jaume Osman and heaps heaps more.

Studio life

Out on bail fresh outta jail
California dreamin.
Soon as I stepped on the scene
I’m hearin hoochies screamin.
Fiendin for money and alcohol
the life of a west side playa.

Playing with cubes

Plating up with La Cocinera (Nestle)

Tiempo BBDO recently invited us to collaborate on the design for the new website. We like designing websites and we like eating food, so it’s seemed like a great fit.

To jump start the creative process we spent a day in the kitchen with their pastry products. These are the results (the spinach and ricotta empanada was the clear winner).
