Hello all

January has proved rather busy so far with five new screenprinted posters, an art print and other gubbins all going on at once. The latest to go off to the printers are this set of promotional posters for FIM - International Federation of Musicians (or Fédération Internationale des Musiciens in French hence FIM). These will be available at SXSW and also given out as postcards to encourage musicians to join their local musicans unions. Have a gander:

As the tag line 'Dangerous Bands In Safe Hands' suggests, FIM were interested in evoking a sort of propaganda/Home Front style poster. They wanted it bold and quick to read with a bit of humour in there for good measue. I've tried to blend a mix of Constructivist styles and the British wartime government warning posters and hope that comes across along with the message.

I will have copies of these available at Flatstock at SXSW as well as in my online shop mid March

Best

Hello all,

Hope this finds you well. This is a quick, wee blog update about a recent project that has now launched.

As part of Ekko's, a live music venue in Utrecht, 25th anniversary celebrations, they teamed up with Push & Pull Posters aka Mara Piccione, to put together a series of commemorative posters for seminal and/or great gigs at the venue. Due to me having quite a bit of dirt on Mara she agreed to let me design a print for Franz Ferdinand. Here it is:

Inspired by the bands use of Constructivist imagery on previous releases i decided to try and filter Constructivist poster design through the streets of a moonlit Glasgow night. I guess to put it another way, what if Rodchenko had come from Scotland? If you like it, it can be purchased from my webstore at lukedrozd.com HERE.

The rest of the series features some amazing work (including a lovely one for I Am Kloot from my poster friend extraordinaire Mr.Graham Pilling) so go and have a squizz at them too HERE.

Bye for now, Luke
