PROJECT SUPPORTERS

No Strings Attached is an Eazl project supporting Gibson Gives and Retune.

Eazl would like to thank all of the amazing supporters who have helped bring No Strings Attached to life. We’re particularly grateful to Gibson for providing the soundboards and scratch plates used by the artists, and to The Scotch of St. James and South Mills Arts for hosting the exhibitions and live events.

We’d also like to say a special thank you to some of our long-term partners, including Absolute Creative for creating the web content. They have designed dedicated pages for all of our of projects and have worked extra hours to weave their magic to make each one look amazing. Our framers and printers, Menor, have likewise been with us for the long haul and have dedicated much time and care framing and photographing the project artwork and scratchplates, as well as producing exhibition  boards and QR codes. The artwork has further befitted from the beautiful frames provided by Larson-Juhl and will be showcased thanks to Blackwall for supplying and installing the exhibition walls used in the Scotch, and MPS Colour Print for creating the exhibition feature wall, displays and graphics.

The project has been given an extra dimension with the input of creative agency One Black Bear, producing original content across video, graphics and exhibition displays. One Black Bear conceived and commissioned the lead video for the project, working with director Ben Thornley (Sitcom Soldiers) and producer Philip Kerr (Good Guys). Thankfully, no guitars were harmed during the production. Their efforts have been matched by the social media support from cloud-based agency UP THERE, EVERYWHERE, who have gone to great lengths to help maximise project exposure.

Our incredible supporters continue with Colart/Reeevs and Rapid, providing the art materials used by the artists, as well as Character Mailing, who shipped the materials and completed art across the UK. The latter have gone beyond the call of duty, rearranging collections at short notice and delivering on the same day when required. Going further afield, we’re similarly indebted to Flight Logistics for moving packages back and forth to America.

Last but not least, our projects would literally fall apart without the bespoke boxes created by Fencor Packaging, from making samples to supplying the final colourful packaging ensuring all the artwork arrives in safe and in pristine condition.

You are all wonderful people.
Thank you.
Paul & Richard.

AND FINALLY…

We’d like to add a very special thank you to creative superstars Charlie Higson and Pure Evil for producing original artwork for use as hero images across the project. Pure Evil was the first to create an artwork on one of the J-45 soundboards, helping us to showcase the concept to the rest of our artists, while Charlie has created a mesmerising triptych inspired by three modern masters.
