Work from idle hands

Hello my virtual friends,

I trust all is well in cyber-firma. Things in the real world have been busy and jam packed of late and there should be a few new updates with new prints, exhibitions, jaunts and sundries coming soon but for now i thought i would share a few new pieces from the studio. 

See the full gallery on Posterous

Above is a selection of definitely finished and potentially finished new work that has survived the ever stringent culling, re-working and reshuffling that is my working process. A few of these pieces should hopefully be cropping up in upcoming shows over the next few months so i will post about those as and when they take shape, but for now goodbye and goodlooks

best, Luke

Black Dogs presents

Unlearned Tricks: A night of improvised music, art and general dog play
 
Sunday 24 July 2011

 19.00 - 23.00

 The Constitution
42 St Pancras Way
London
NW1 0QT

 Join us on the final night of the Camden Players festival to enjoy an evening of wholesomely bizarre and entertaining music, performance and artists' film selected and presented by art collective Black Dogs. Featuring performances from Sly and the Family Drone, the Black Dogs Ensemble, the Peter J. Taylor Guitar Orchestra, Stockpot Stopcock, Patrick Coyle, and more, Black Dogs will celebrate and conclude this month-long cultural adventure through Camden in a suitably reflective and mysterious manner.

Black Dogs is an art collective formed in 2003 in Leeds with a core membership of ten artists based in Leeds, Bradford, London and Milton Keynes. They operate as a DIY, not-for-profit organisation with an output which has included formal exhibitions, relational and participatory installations, public events and interventions, publications, video, audio works, and collaborative learning projects. Black Dogs' activities shift between social practice and art and through the structure and operation of the group ideas of collaboration, not-for-profit motives, and self-organised approaches to artistic practice are continually explored and developed.

Hurray For The Riff Raff!

Hello online comrades

First off, a huge thanks to all who came down to Screenadelica in Liverpool. It was a great weekend filled with much fun, booze and hi-jinks. We hope to see you all same time next year.

Second off, I have a couple of new prints available for the rather wonderful Hurray For The Riff Raff, a folk/americana/rootsy bunch from New Orleans. If you've not heard them I recommend checking them out inside one of their virtual lairs here or here. The prints are currently available on their UK tour but if you can't/won't get to a show then they can also be obtained via my online purchasing palace here.

See the full gallery on Posterous

They come as individual prints, each with either a voodoo/mardi gras priest or priestess, or if you can't/won't choose, as a set. Enjoy!

Finally, a quick reminder that the opening for Posters Fo' Sho' is on Friday at Five Years in East London so hopefully see some of you virtual people in the actual flesh there. More info here

Bye!

Screen if you want to go faster!

Hello people of computer world

So as is always the case, following on from Flatstock in the MegAmericas and Poster Roast in Landan Tarn, I will be off with some of my poster pals to the wonderful  city of Liverpool for Screendelica as part of the Sound City music festival. It's on from 3pm on Thursday 19th, Friday 20th and Saturday 21st and if its anything like last year it should be a massive barrel of laugh apples for everyone to munch on. When the apples have been eaten we can then save the pips and use these to grow more apples for next years barrel.

And to top it all off, it's FREE which means if you hate music you don't need to buy a Sound City wristband to come and see the show and buy posters. And if you really hate music, why not pretend the bands names littering the beautiful posters being exhibited are actually the names of obscure literary marvels, pretentious critcal theorists or a friend of yours who changed their name for a bet.

On to the real world actual fact-mation from the Horse's mouth (that is only amusing if you know that the person running it works under the moniker Horse. which you do now so go back and re-read it and titter at how drole i am):

Screenedelica

34 Slater Street (former International/Art Organisation Gallery), Liverpool, UK

Screenadelica is a gig poster exhibition, celebrating the art of the screen printed gig poster, held during Liverpool Sound City festival. Playing host to both UK and international artists, Liverpool shall see a wide variety of styles promoting the bands the artists love, inspired by the music they hear. With digital download taking over the music scene, the desire to still own something physical makes the screen printed poster ...all the more important, driving artists to create pieces of art for each show which encapsulates the music in their eyes. This then means that rather than one artist representing the bands sound, they get a whole range of interpretations of their music thru the screen printed gig poster.

The actual exhibition is open from 3pm daily.

Confirmed exhibiting artists include:

Luke Drozd, WeThreeClub, Army of Cats, Nick Rhodes, Tiny Little Horse, Michael Cowell, Horse, Paul Rafferty, Craig Robson & John Biddle

We will have live t-shirt screenprinting during the show where you can have a go at printing your own shirt featuring one of 4 specially designed images which will be available at this show only!

THIS EVENT IS FREE TO ENTER

The gallery space shall also play host to a bar and will have a specially curated line up of bands and visuals featuring:

THURSDAY FROM 8PM

NLF3(france), NASSER(france), MORE THAN CONQUERORS(irl), A TIME FOR BURNING, THIS IS TWO

FRIDAY FROM 8PM

SOCIAL SUICIDE, DZ DEATHRAYS(nz), VASCO DA GAMA, I AM AUSTIN

SATURDAY FROM 8PM

APPLE CANNON, JAZZ HANDS, DEEP SEA ARCADE(aus)
