Leaving on a jet plane...

Hello all

Well my bags are indeed packed and i am ready to go...to the United Places of Americas!

The lovely folk over at the UKTI have awarded a grant to 6 UK poster artists to offer them the opportunity of traveling over to Austin, Texas and representing the UK at Flatstock during SXSW under the guise of the UKPA (UK Poster Association). Here's the full line-up for the UKPA mega booth:
Luke Drozd, Scrawled, Telegramme, WeThreeClub, BRAG/Rhys Wootton and Army of Cats.

If that weren't enough we have also put together a mini newspaper style poster journal called 'FLOOD' which will be available for free at the UKPA stand. Left over ones will probably surface at Poster Roast at Camden Crawl but should you miss both of these there is a download-able PDF of it on http://ukposterart.com/

On a personal note i will also have some new prints available for the first time including a lovely shed themed print for British Underground and a Flatstock demo print, which will be printed before peoples disbelieving eyes at the convention by Andy MacDougall - http://www.squeegeeville.com/

Finally i will also have a few of British Underground's Mod Map which i provided the illustration/map for to accompany an interview with The Who's Pete Townshend. Images of all these are at the top of this post.
