‘Infused with the personal freedoms and camaraderie experienced on a recent trip to San Francisco, in 1969 the graphic artist Barney Bubbles (born Colin Fulcher 1942; died 1983) took occupation of a three-storey building in Portobello and transformed it into a creative commune at the heart of the Notting Hill counterculture. The ground floor became a design studio which Bubbles named Teenburger, the letterhead styled as a wrapper featured a composition of Letraset fragments arranged in the form of a hamburger. This very limited edition shirt celebrates the brilliance of Barney Bubbles and evokes his wish for “a groovy scene... with lots of hard work and fun play’.

A design hero to many, Barney Bubbles was a prolific graphic artist who made a distinctive, imaginative and energetic contribution to design, and particularly design for music, during the 70s and 80s. In 1969 (for one year only) he opened a design studio on Portobello Road, London, which he named ‘Teenburger Designs’.
