Design

‘I often need to respond to people with this but, for some reason, angry or negative emoji seem to be really lacking from the sets I’ve seen.’ — Mr Bingo

Artist

There isn't anything London-based illustrator Mr Bingo can't draw. Whether you need an image of a tattooed lady in sexy underwear, a picture of a cat, a portrait of a celebrity, or even an illustration of a tattooed celebrity's lady cat dressed in sexy underwear - if you can conceive it, he can visualise it. As well as a distinctive figurative approach, Mr Bingo brings a wit and humour to his work which regularly attracts commissions from a wide range of international clients. He even raps.

Series

These custom emoji artworks originally featured in the FL@33-designed book The Story of Emoji by Gavin Lucas (Prestel Publishing, March 2016). If you could create a new emoji, what would it be? Gavin Lucas asked a number of image-makers from around the world to design new emoji characters they wish really existed. Book contributions were submitted just before iOS 9 was released (which also included the 'Metal Fingers' / 'Devil's Horns' emoji addition). One day soon – hopefully – all these bespoke emoji suggestions will be included... This one inch (25mm) button badge series is a collaboration between Stereohype, Gavin Lucas and the selected emoji contributors Ali Graham, Crispin Finn, David Henckel, FL@33, Friso Blankevoort, Hey Studio, Jan Kallwejt, Julian Morey, Liza Nelson, Lucy Vigrass, Matt Chase, Matthew Bromley, Mr Bingo, Nick Shea, Noma Bar, Peskimo, Richard Hogg, Rob Flowers, Serge SeidlitzTane Williams and TwoPoints. Stereohype sells Emoji Series badges separately and gives them away as a free surprise badge with selected Stereohype T-shirts. Released: April 2016 as part of the book launch exhibition.
