Mr Bucket in the May Desktop
As Ostin Milbarge a columnist from “Desktop” magazine tells it, he was simply strolling through a small town music festival when…
“while perusing through the stalls, and peering past a hat stand, that I saw him: Mr Bucket. I think I’ve banged on before about simplicity of design and, possibly somewhere in the ether, I’ve also delivered a diatribe on the joy I take in t-shirt design… but this knocked my socks off. And it did so for a
couple of reasons. First, Mr Bucket’s stall featured a full-length statue of the man himself, bucket and all, while one of his minions manned the merchandise aspect. Second, the idea that the entire life of a man
with a bucket on his head can be created to support a clothing range is beyond belief – that its simplicity had me so engrossed that I looked through just about every shirt available, agonised over which one I wanted, then purchased it greedily goes to show the power of a simple idea.”
but it didn’t stop there…
“I found that I’m not alone, and I’ve often been stopped in the street by people professing that they too
have fallen for Mr Bucket. Before long I was harassed by a friend to look up the website, where I witnessed that the bucket man was an international phenomenom.”
Ostin point out he wasn’t paid in lights and pyschedelia, we hope he is enjoying his “Mr Bucket Mows”.
