Art Licks ISSUE SIX!

    February 3, 2012

    Another beauty filled issue of artlicks hot of the press. Issue Six invited artist Pio Abad to contribute a work to our feature, Artist Commission. Just for the magazine, Pio has made the perfume advert, LAIR DU TEMPS (CAMEL) – with a sample that you will have to decide to peel & sniff, or leave to brood. Alongside the work is a profile text by writer and curator, Roma Clemie.

    We printed a run of 800 on various papers and colours. Side stitched and tape bound.

    Available from Artlicks site. And various book shops around London.

    HAPPEN PROJECTS – COLOUR COPIES

    January 3, 2012

    Dalston Collaborations. Back in December we were asked as part of an exchange project co-ordinated by Happen Projects to take part in their little shops scheme. Teaming up with Dalston stationers we had a window of opportunity and chose to inject some colour into what was turning into a cold winter.

    Our colour copies, are some old colour tests we ran quite a while ago now, showing gradients of all the colours as they work in harmony with one another. The whole project has received tremendous feedback, and with a whole host of local designers and artists, there was no wonder it would.

    Be sure to check out the Happen projects site, their facebook of photos, and also a brief BBC article on the whole thing.

    Thanks has to go to Giovanna, Irina and Kasia for organising things at HP, and getting us involved in the first place. And also Mr. Dattani of Dalston Stationers for allowing us to work with him and his lovely shop.

    The collaborations are running until the 12th January so have a walk around Dalston and get to know the local businesses.

    PRINTS

    A little print catch up to start the new year off. Here are some lovely prints, and fun jobs we printed just toward the end of last year. With colour greats from Rosie Pearmain. Tasty comic goodness from Benjamin Wright. 4 colour excellence from Hato resident Ross Bennett, and an interesting publication of conversations from Chris Seddon. Can’t wait to get printing more great stuff, from these guys and more. Happy New Year.
