Hello all, I trust you are well in digital land

First off I have returned to my own shores. This means I have to get on with normal life and pay a load of outstanding bills (as in 'need to be paid' not 'really good') BUT it also means normal shipping times will resume for print purchases. Which neatly brings me on to the fact that new prints are available in the online shop at www.lukedrozd.com.

First up is the print I produced for tUnE-yArDs at Into The Great Wide Open festival. I hope it captures the manic, joyous energy of a band who were the highlight of a great weekend. It is available here.

Second up are the mini prints from the residency with Subwalk in Arnhem. These are available either as single prints or in sets of 3 or 5 and are available here.

that's it for now. There will be a some pictures and info on my time at Flatstock Europe 6 later in the week and a new print for Franz Ferdinand available next week though so keep the peeper peeping

best, Luke

 

 

Hello people of computer world

So as is always the case, following on from Flatstock in the MegAmericas and Poster Roast in Landan Tarn, I will be off with some of my poster pals to the wonderful  city of Liverpool for Screenadelica as part of the Sound City music festival. It's on from 3pm on Thursday 19th, Friday 20th and Saturday 21st and if its anything like last year it should be a massive barrel of laugh apples for everyone to munch on. When the apples have been eaten we can then save the pips and use these to grow more apples for next years barrel.

And to top it all off, it's FREE which means if you hate music you don't need to buy a Sound City wristband to come and see the show and buy posters. And if you really hate music, why not pretend the bands names littering the beautiful posters being exhibited are actually the names of obscure literary marvels, pretentious critcal theorists or a friend of yours who changed their name for a bet.

On to the real world actual fact-mation from the Horse's mouth (that is only amusing if you know that the person running it works under the moniker Horse. which you do now so go back and re-read it and titter at how drole i am):

Screenadelica

34 Slater Street (former International/Art Organisation Gallery), Liverpool, UK

Screenadelica is a gig poster exhibition, celebrating the art of the screen printed gig poster, held during Liverpool Sound City festival. Playing host to both UK and international artists, Liverpool shall see a wide variety of styles promoting the bands the artists love, inspired by the music they hear. With digital download taking over the music scene, the desire to still own something physical makes the screen printed poster ...all the more important, driving artists to create pieces of art for each show which encapsulates the music in their eyes. This then means that rather than one artist representing the bands sound, they get a whole range of interpretations of their music thru the screen printed gig poster.

The actual exhibition is open from 3pm daily.

Confirmed exhibiting artists include:

Luke Drozd, WeThreeClub, Army of Cats, Nick Rhodes, Tiny Little Horse, Michael Cowell, Horse, Paul Rafferty, Craig Robson & John Biddle

We will have live t-shirt screenprinting during the show where you can have a go at printing your own shirt featuring one of 4 specially designed images which will be available at this show only!

THIS EVENT IS FREE TO ENTER

The gallery space shall also play host to a bar and will have a specially curated line up of bands and visuals featuring:

THURSDAY FROM 8PM
