Edinburgh Toile
Client : Edinburgh International Festival
Date : September 2009
Edinburgh was added to Timorous Beasties' toile collection when the design was commissioned by the Edinburgh International Festival in 2009. The design was the cover of the EIF magazine for the event and also appeared on the Omni building in the city centre, a window in Jenners Department Store and on taxis and billboards across the city. The controversial images of traffic chaos, drunks beside Greyfriar's Bobby and a traffic cone on the statue of David Hume provoked strong opinion in more conservative circles.
