ABOUT

In 2010 I was commissioned by Live Nation to design a new costume for the Download Dog mascot that would wander around the Download Festival and be used for photo shoots. The previous costume wasn't exciting enough for such a huge event as Download, so I came up with something more dynamic and interesting for the festival.

The costume was to be durable and be able to last many years of service. It was replaced with a new design in 2017.

The suit was built by Character Logistics Ltd. Middleton-on-Sea, West Sussex
