Oxford Doodle Club

In August 2019, I launched a new art group called Oxford Doodle Club, following on from Geo Law's Doodle Club which was based in Sheffield for two years. The Oxford Doodle Club was set up by Mat Roff (an Oxford-based illustrator), Laura Hope (an Oxford-based illustrator) and Alex Moore (a London-based illustrator) to encourage artists and enthusiasts, both young and old to meet up once a month and discover the city of Oxford together. As freelancers, we tend to find it difficult to meet people locally because we are always either working from home, on location, or we struggle to find a network due to clubs and other creatives not been as visible, or as easy to connect with. With our Doodle Club we want it to be seen, we want people to feel included, and we also want it to promote the city of Oxford and all the wonderful museums, architecture, colleges and facilities that draw tourist to visit every year. Art directions, logos, branding and concepts were designed by me, as well as my co-founders and the aim is to allow each founder the chance to take over each month to bring something different to the advertising.
