New Shepard Fairey print to support Peel

One of my favorite Shepard Fairey prints of the year, and it’s for charity. Awesome. Well, except for the fact Peel Magazine is in trouble, which is the opposite of awesome.

From Shepard Fairey:

Dave and Holly Combs are wonderful people as well as the founders of PEEL Zine. They took the risk of following their artistic passion and have paid the price of losing their home. I created this print with and for them to raise money to help with their huge debt. PEEL has helped to support and grow the street art community and I believe they deserve to have the favor returned. Profits from this print go to help the Combs family.  Please help out.

The print goes on sale on October 6th for just $45. It is from an edition of 450.

Great print deals

I’ve found two deals on screen prints that have popped up recently.

Over at FUSShop.co.uk, they are giving away a free print by A.CE with orders over £50. My suggestion would be to get the Shepard Fairey issue of Arkitip Magazine for £59.99 because you get a print by Fairey and one by A.CE for not much at all when you think of how much a print might usually cost. More info here.

Or just just £60 you can take your pick of prints from artists like Sweet Toof, Kid Acne and Dscreet from the Seven Styles for Seven Brothers show at The Archipelago Works.

New JR and Sam3 Prints for FAME Fest

JR

JR and Sam3 have been working hard in the studio in Grottaglie! JR’s print is based on his piece “Self Portrait in a Woman’s Eye, Kenya” from the Circle Culture show back in June. Sam3’s print is called “Subconscio”. Even though these artists are stylistically very different, the introspective quality of the imagery is quite complementary; I think these prints would look nice on the wall together.

Can’t wait to see what JR does on the streets.

New prints from Shepard and Deuce Seven

Two print releases which I’m very excited to write about today.

First up is Shepard Fairey. Evolve Devolve is an open edition poster signed by Shepard and for sale at just $35 plus shipping. After a surprising few prints that were not up to Shepard’s usually high standards (frankly, a few of them were just rubbish), the master of poster art is back with this beautiful offset piece about the environment. And making it an open edition poster is a great touch. Buy it at the OBEY Store.

And then there is Deuce Seven. One of those artists that New Yorkers rave about but most people have probably never heard of. Falling Into The Black Hole Sun is a 25 color print, edition of 72, and only $100 each. It is classic Deuce imagery and each print even includes some hand working by Deuce Seven. You can pick this print up at Burlesque Design.

New print from The Krah

The Krah

Right now, if I were in the market for a screen print, I would not be spending very much money. I’d be buying a quality image and looking for a deal on price. Well if you’re like me with screen prints and you like The Krah, today is your lucky day. The above 5 color screen print is an edition of 75 and the price is £75. They are for sale on www.littleartbook.com.

Vhils book and print releases

Italy Vhils

And Vhils is back on top in my book. Man has he been busy. First, the work he’s done at Truman Brewery here in London. Then his work at the Fame Festival in Italy (photo above). Now, he’s got a super limited edition book being released and some new hand worked prints at Lazarides. In the gallery, prints are what I think Vhils does best, so a new print from him is always exciting to me. Here’s some info from Lazarides about the prints and his book:

As the hugely successful “Scratching The Surface” exhibition by Vhils (aka Alexandre Farto) draws to a close at our Rathbone Place gallery this Saturday, the action moves to our Greek Street Shop this coming Friday, the 31st of July, with the highly anticipated release of a rather special edition of our favourite Portugeezer’s first book and 3 new hand-finished prints for Lazarides.

Featuring a lazer-cut front cover, the full colour, 80 page, 28 x 22 cm, hard-back book ‘Scratching The Surface’ is also signed by the artist, is strictly limited to only 100 copies worldwide, and costs £45.

Vhils has also been hard at work hand-finishing 3 new prints for us, and we’re pleased to announce that we’ll be making available 10 variants of each edition to be displayed at our Shop on Greek Street from 10 am this Friday. Each print is from an overall varied edition of 30, measures 70 x 49.5 cm, is signed by the artist, and available to purchase at £350. Whilst both the book and prints can be ordered by calling the Shop on 0203 214 0055/0066, those buying in person have the advantage of being able to select their favourite version and take it home right there and then.

Banksy “Donuts” print release

The latest Banksy print is available soon at Pictures on Walls. “Donuts” comes in two colorways (black or pink), with editions of 299 in each colorway. Of course, if this were any other Banksy print release, there would be no point in writing to post because by the time I had finished typing, the print would be sold out. This time, Banksy has taken the Faile approach and made a lottery system where anybody who registers before noon on July 28th will have an equal shot at buying this print.

You can register at Picturesonwalls.com.

New work from Klone

I’m a sucker for a. animal related street art and b. art made with a black spray can, which is why I like Klone‘s horse.

Also, Klone’s recently released a screen print, “Dual Identity”, which is a simple and fairly cheap edition of 45 for $50 each direct from Klone.

TAKI 183 Prints For Sale

Without TAKI 183, we probably wouldn’t have graffiti as we know it. He was the first tagger to leave his own neighborhood, and the New York Times article about him spawned an epidemic of tagging. Eventually, those tags became graffiti, but TAKI disappeared, only being occassionaly spotted in graffiti documentaries. He essentially gave up on tagging when he go too old for it.

But now the legendary TAKI 183 is back. His first ever commercial works have just gone for sale on his new website, taki183.net, and it looks like he is trying to get back into the graffiti scene.

Taki 183

This is not some guy taking the piss like Tox was with his prints. It might be a guy trying to cash in on his fame, but who cares? TAKI 183 is a legend and he has every right. I’ve bought one of these prints, because I think they are extremely important to the history of graffiti.

So essentially, today is a good day, an awesome day, for graffiti and street art.
