Righto, this is the last poster i’ve printed up for the Oppikoppi printslam, a stunning A2, 3 colour print by Merwe Marchand le Roux.
That’s the last print i’ll be doing for a while, as i”ll be away for the next two weeks; if you’re going to Oppikoppi, go say hi to these posters, otherwise, if you’re in Cape town, pop over to the Am i Collective Garage on Sunday for this poster exhibition which promises to be incredible as well.
On Sunday, poster designer Nothief came round to my house to print this beautifully elegant Wrestlerish poster. It’s in A3 size, 4 colours on 250gsm Munken Pure, and limited to an edition of 30. Keep an eye out for them at the Oppikoppi Printslam, i have a feeling these will sell out quickly. Great work, Nothief, looking forward to having you around again soon!
One of the most amazing things i’ve seen recently is this series of Art Prints from The Decoder Ring Design Concern. How it works is that they invite artists into their printing studio for a week, over which they work together on a crazily intensive art print. Artists include Dalek (whose contribution is pictured above), Aesthetic Apparatus, Jay Ryan, Burlesque of North America, Diana Sudyka, Tara McPherson; quite prominent figures indeed. And the prints that come out of this are just so unbelievably gorgeous. Even nicer is the thorough documentation of the process, that TDRDC allow you to view on the gallery. This is pretty much any print enthusiast’s wet dream: the goalposts have officially been shifted.
This is the trailer for a new film about the USA poster artist community which looks very interesting indeed. I will make a point of getting hold of a copy of this film and maybe organise a little screening if anyone would be interested.
