Our new project Joyous Machines (Guitar Effects) is looking for illustrators and animators to create a universe of characters for our fx.

I currently run Beeches Studio LTD, and our first major project after a year of odd jobs, is developing a new guitar pedal company, called Joyous Machines. I want each pedal to have a character and a world to live in, a bit like trading card games, like Pokemon, but more steampunk and robotic, I had wondered about calling them Genks after my love of IDLES, but I'm wondering about trons so for instance the ODDERTRON, as an overdrive pedal. If this is of interest please send over examples of work, I'm currently writing the business plan and cashflow forcast, to get funding to make this project a reality, it would be lovely to have people along for the ride. I'm looking to get the ball rolling properly in May/June Time, look forward to seeing some work and hearing from you all.

  • Hi Edward,
    Sounds like an interesting project. I love playing with effects pedals and I love character design, so putting the two together sounds like a ton of fun. My portfolio is at www.houseofdeadleg.co.uk, I'd love to find out more/have a chat about it if you think my work might be a good fit.
