This coming Sunday....

For my latest zine in the Brain Blood Volume series I decided to try something a little different by way of applying the stylings of my previous artworks to figures present in a collection of found photographs.
The photos were enlarged to A3 prints on cartridge paper and worked over in black and white inks before being scanned and collected in zine format.
For the issues sold at the Diffusion Publishing Fair which is being held at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff this Sunday, the zines will come with a screen-printed poster and vinyl sticker.

Brain Blood Volume 4 - In an edition of 50:
24 pages, black and white, printed on 160gsm paper with card cover. Includes Vinyl sticker and A3 screen-printed poster.
Each copy is hand stamped and numbered.

                                                

I'll also have reprints of previous issues of BBV zines, a few t-shirts and prints with me. Come and say hello and check out all of the other fantastic work on sale!

Sundown Print Market / Noys R Us

This coming Sunday, 28th April there is a bunch of stuff happening in Cardiff 

and a choice of activities on a Sunday is always good - right!?

The two I'm looking forward to most of all are as follows:

O.K. First off I will be selling Zines/Tees/Prints/Vinyl etc at Gwdihw's Sundown Print Market. It opens at 4pm til 8pm and there's gonna be a ton of artists hawking their wares, DJs and Live Music til 11pm.

Depending on what time I get away I'd hope to make it to see the first in the series of rock music related film screenings being put on by 'Noys R Us' / Chapter arts centre in Bogiez nightclub in Cardiff that evening.

Sunday's film is Oil City Confidential - you can check out screening time and other details, including forthcoming movies here ( I'm particularly excited about American Hardcore and Until the Light Takes Us - and to re-acquaint myself with a film that I first saw as kid, being tutored in the ways of metal by my older brother - The Decline of Western Civilisation II - The Metal Years.
