Bobby & Kate of Telegramme Paper Co. • Buddy's Buddies #002
GREETINGS FROM MARGATE!
Welcome to episode 2 of Buddy’s Buddies!
Thank you so very much for joining me for the second one - whether I am seeing you again after the first podcast or if this is your first listen, your ears and attention are entirely appreciated and I really hope you dig this one.
This is the first episode I recorded with more than one guest, and luckily for me those very guests were Bobby and Kate of Telegramme Paper Co., based here in Margate! We recorded this in their previous studio located near Dane Park, surrounded by a very attention grabbing collection of their own work, not to mention paraphernalia and amazing trinkets and (finally a chance to crowbar in my favourite word) tchotchkes. A tchotchke is a little decorative object. Love that word.
“We are our own clients…”
We cover a ton of chapters, tangents and forks in the road as you can imagine, including toddler mornings, studying alongside one another, gig poster fascinations and legalities / codes of conduct, sketching fathers, their Eastleigh and Midlands upbringings, problem solving in design and illustration, the old days of Telegramme as well as its origin story and evolution, the two of them teaming up and growing more powerful, making things they would want to have on their own walls, being a tourist where you live, the idea of commissioning themselves, rules of threes in colour palettes, processes, the beauty of restriction, influences and heroes and not getting too close, Americana and vintage ephemera, family and work balance, and all in between!
Truly inspirational talk here from two masters of the game, with nuggets of wisdom sprinkled throughout and just a real uplifting one to propel you properly into the weekend and week ahead! Ladies and gentlemen, your new buddies - Bobby and Kate!
