This is how the circle closes…
… as the year 2012 started with two posters for The Black Keys and the same band completes its this year’s gigs in Germany with gig posters of me for their concerts in Munich and Duesseldorf. And just like in February, a policewomen bars the way of the band in their tour van, an old El Camino, on the poster for the show in the Olympic stadium in Munich.
I demand a great deal of comprehension of the colour theory from the Black Keys’ audience in the Duesseldorf Mitsubishi Electric Halle. Those who know the CMYK colour model will recognize the wink of the eye. And all the others can simply enjoy three shining colours which contrast the deep black of the poster. Both posters were printed with four screens in quite a small edition. The bigger part was, as always, already sold at the concerts. But of course some are still available here: in the shop.
In Eugene/Oregon, the artists of the collective Blunt Graphics don’t only care about the working on their own screen print table, but they also regularly invite artists from around the world to colour up their own small gallery or the rooms of friends’ galleries in Los Angeles or Chicago with interesting screen printing interpretations. In their current exhibition, a selection of colleagues and studios like Frank Kozik, Marco Almera, Alan Forbes and many more were asked to design movie posters in the style of Ed Roth. In the beginning, I thought the good films were all already taken – until I remembered on of my favourite movies. My homage to Ed “Big Daddy” Roth’s art was printed with three screens in a micro edition (link to the new posters in the shop) of only 60 pieces.
In my list of posters for my local heroes of Dresden, another hole has been filled. The Lazy Boys (link to the new posters in the shop) have been preying on my mind for quite a while. On the poster, the instrument of the Texan double-bass player is cut down for firewood. Talking about local heroes – the Dresden reveller will have even more associations here…
There is a new link in the navigation on the left hand side: Douze Exhibitions. It’s pretty possible that the names of the links will change again during the next weeks, we have tons of plans here. For the present, you will find out with this link where Douze poster shows are taking place, in which record stores or galleries you can permanently see and/or buy Douze posters or in which cities we’re still looking for contacts…
