One of the reasons we chose The Calls to set up KISS HQ is because of its creative and historic vibes. With murals popping up from big and small names around the area, we decided to add to the scene and make a statement with our own window for 2021.

The brief was to captivate the creative and connecting nature of KISS with a bold mural that would stand out on the red brick street.

Two people kissing was naturally a head-turning route to go down. This not only represents Kiss literally but also captures our values; that moment when sparks fly and a real human connection is made. The fun bit was bringing that thought to life.

Whilst judging D&AD New Blood we fell in love with Yellow Pencil Winner, Erin’s illustrative work. We loved Erin’s use of colour, shape and abstract texture, something we wanted to bring into our studio, so we commissioned her to be the first artist to design our first KISS window.

And the result looks fabulous!

‘It was a real pleasure collaborating with KISS on the creation of this mural. An exciting project from start to finish – and a first-time opportunity designing to this scale.’
