Franz Forever!

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

 

Black Keys posters and goodies galore

Hello peoples!

I have finally got around to adding a few of the new prints to my websites shop as so they can now be purchased in time for Christmas/birthdays/weddings/funerals.

First up is the poster I designed for the recent Leeds, UK show by The Black Keys. I couldn't go but here it was blinding. Thought two runaway steers hurtling downhill out of control seemed to be a good visual metaphor for the bands sound. Hope you like it.

Also available are the two prints i produced for this years Flatstock Europe poster convention and Reeperbahn Festival. One is a Flatstock print of a sausage dressed as a chef riding a mustard bottle making it spurt all over the bloody shop, the other is a print for the amazing Silje Nes. The latter was a fantastic show and i suggest if you aren’t already aware of her music you become acquainted now: http://www.myspace.com/siljenes

All of these are available here: http://lukedrozd.bigcartel.com/

Also don’t forget that these and many other artists poster prints will be available at the Constellations Festival this Sunday in Leeds: http://posterroast.com/site/2010/09/13/constellations-festival/

Ta ta for now
