Guinness Storehouse

Design & Fabrication for Spectacle

Illustrator John Gilroy (1898-1985) is the mastermind behind some of the most legendary Guinness campaigns and we were commissioned to bring some of the iconic characters he created to life for a special event at Guinness Storehouse.

With careful consideration of the original artwork we took the hapless zookeeper, a caricature of Gilroy himself, an ostrich, and the most famous emblem of the brands, the toucan, from 2D illustrations into three dimensional puppets and costumes.
