Hello MySpace

So, you may have noticed the little chap who is gracing my current 'profile picture'. Well thats Ice Cream Man, named after my favourite song by Tom Waits. He now has a little felt brooch / badge friend courtesy of the lovely Many Nice Things.
Aww, don't they look sweet together...

 

The 2-colour screen-print measures at 8.5" x 8.5" (approx) and this little package is super limited to 30 (15 with a blue Ice Cream brooch / 15 with pink) and you can buy them from my Big Cartel store - here.

Get them while they're ice cold!

And just to keep you in the loop of my goings on, Many Nice Things and I shared a little stall at the weekend at the Handmade Craft Fair in Leeds. It was very nice. If you'd like to see some photos, then you most certainly can. Hopefully we'll be doing some more things like that in 2010... (I know, where has the year gone).

So this may be my last post of the year and if it is, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year dudes. Have a great one!

Thanks for reading

Howdy folks

Surely you must have noticed by now the heavy doses of festive spirit, thick in the air! Its great isn't it? The other day I was in Superdrug and treated to a full-on diva version of 'Sleigh Bells Ringing'... marvelous!

So to help us all fully embrace this merriment, a whole load of posters have been reduced in the twoducksdisco Big Cartel store. So head over there and pick up some cracking gifts for your whole family. Loads of the posters frame up real nice in cheap Wilkos frames and wallah, Christmas all wrapped up for you!

Coming up in December is the first of a series of monthly exhibitions that will be happening at The Merrion Art Market in The Merrion Centre. Its all put together by the lovely chaps at the Nous Vous and the exhibition is open for one night only on Thursday 10th December between 6pm and 8pm. Here's a poster:

 

And a tasty little facebook event page: 1st Draft
And if the above link is mis-behaving, copy & paste this into facebook [dot] com: /event.php?eid=177644866515&ref=ts
 
So to all you Leeds folk (heck if you're from Spain why not pop over for the day), it would be great to see you there.

After this night, the exhibition moves to Opposite Café (opposite the Parkinson Building at Leeds University) for a month, so if you miss it at The Art Market you can pop along there for a delicious Hot Chocolate and slice of Lemon Drizzle cake and admire the work until the 9th January 2010.

Thanks for reading, hopefully see you soon.

Hey dudes

So you may be aware of such an event called Flatstock Europe. If not, basically its a bunch of poster artists all gather together on the Reeperbahn in Hamburg and exhibit and sell their work and have a jolly good old knees up. Well I was lucky enough to be invited out again this year and take part in Europe's largest poster expo and it was a blast!

Here are a few photos from my booth, which I shared with the ever-charismatic Graham 'Army of Cats' Pilling. Although the first picture depicts myself with the ever-Canadian Jeremy Wilson...

 

 

Don't we look nice together...

Anyways, whilst I was out there I also got to exhibit an exclusive art-print that I was commissioned to do for some band called The Beatles (I think they're getting alot of Radio 1 play and are destined for big things in 2010).

 

 

This all went down in The Beatles museum in Hamburg called Beatlemania, which features loads of cool Beatles memorabilia.

This little thing was printed on blank 12" record sleeves and features 5 colours (phew) and limited to just 50 copies. There is a print process here.

If you're interested in purchasing a print, then you can visit my Big Cartel store. If you live outside of the UK, just drop me a line at twoducksdisco [at] gmail [dot] com and we can talk shipping prices.

Thanks for reading.
Hope you can stop by again soon.

Cam.

Huy!

So, as you may have seen from a variety of sources I have hand screen-printed some posters for tonight's (4th Sept) gig at the Brudenell Social Club featuring the wonderful Jason Molina and his Magnolia Electric Co.

 

The posters are super limited (36) and are available at the gig tonight. However, if they sold out and you're wondering 'where on earth can I get my soft, well manicured digits on one of those things', well look no further as I have them for sale from my Big Cartel shop, which you can visit by clicking here!

They come in a couple of choice variants (ruby red / chocolate brown) and they're only £10, so you may aswell look at this as the smartest and most economic investment of the year.

Oh and if you are interested in seeing how this was screen-printed, then you can head to twoducksdisco.blogspot.com to see a process of how I gone done it.

Thanks for reading.

Hello there
I see you have a keen eye for a bargain, come in and I shall tell thee more...

So with the British 'summer' being classically naff I thought i'd bring some joy to you all in the form of a half price sale on my poster that I printed for The Melvins last year.

That's right, for only £5 you can own a screen-printed document of The Hulk with a nasty bowel disorder. Oh and behind that black banner, yes you can see The Hulk's willy...



So just click on the above advert and you shall be whisked away to my Big Cartel page where you can purchase the poster in a few easy steps and wash away those summer blues!

Have a banana!

Hello folks
Hope everyone is doing well.

A few things quickly, then i'll be out of your hair...

I just did a quick Q&A for Feral; a lovely little collective of artists who draw things that go in zines and then have exhibitions. When I say quick, I mean quick!

I've also been updating my blogspot quite a bit recently with all manner of things. Posters, t-shirts, logos, you know the score. So you can go there and keep better up to date with things.

And soon (when I can acquire the right sized tubes) there will be a 1/2 price sale on my Melvins posters. Exciting times lie ahead...

Thanks for you time, sorry to have been a burden on you.

Hello all.

So after a few hiccups with Paypal links to buying posters and whatnot I went and gots me one of those Big Cartel shops.

Its only small at the moment but I basically wanted to see if that was a better way in which to advertise and sell my posters (and other future ventures). Hopefully so, as from past experiences it is super simple to pay through Big Cartel and really secure too.

So the link for that is here: twoducksdisco Big Cartel store
Hopefully you'll all make good use of that...

Other than that I'm still slogging away with a bunch of cool projects, including CD artwork for Tessa Smith, Dot to Dots and Sam Isaac. And upcoming posters for Glissando, Joan of Arc and Magnolia Electric Co.

Have a great weekend!

Hello MySpaced

Already underway is the Gallows tour in support of their new album 'Grey Britain'. I was kindly asked by Chris '3D Glasses' White if i'd like to do a poster for one of the dates on the tour. I chose Rock City, since it was the first venue that I ever saw a gig at, plus I haven't been there in years... Its a great series featuring some of the UKs finest poster dudes!

So, this is my effort:

Gallows - Rock City

They will be available from me on wednesday 13th may (the day after the gig), so if you're unable to make the show but fancy getting your sweaty paws on one you can do so from then on.

If you'd like to see a process of how the poster was designed and printed then pay a little to visit to http://www.twoducksdisco.blogspot.com/

A lot more action actually takes place there so i'll try and keep folk posted on happenings there, here... yes.

Cheers for reading.

Hello there.

A week or so back now (Monday 23rd March to be precise) I sold some posters at the Tunng w/ Tinariwen gig at Leeds Irish Centre. They proved quite popular with folks and I am left with only 11 from 52!

They are available from my main myspace page and can be purchased for £12.50 (thats including post + packaging). Here is a larger picture of them for you.



If you don't have paypal then message me and we can arrange another method of payment.

I have also been injecting whats left of my spare time into another project called Tapes. Its a monthly podcast and e-zine that a friend and myself have set-up and volume 1 was released on the 1st of every month. April's is available now from here.

Volume 1 features exclusive acoustic recordings of Sam Isaac, the Old Romantic Killer Band, Jose Vanders, Killing Fields of Ontario and Ash Mann. It would be great if you would go and download it, it would make me pretty flipping chuffed.

So, thanks for reading.
Chow.

Yello all.
Just thought i'd keep you dudes abreast of my activities via the power of the blog!

So, next friday a lovely new exhibition in Leeds will open called Subism.
Its hosted by the lovely dudes at Best Joined Up, who put on live doodle jams and exhibitions featuring the freshest artists from across the UK. So basically, pretty chuffed to be in on this.
Props to Ash for sorting this.

So, this is all going down at MAP, a new gallery space in Leeds (to find this just put 'Map, Hope House, Leeds' into Google maps, easy). It opens next friday at 7pm. Below is the flyer, do come...

Also, I found some old posters lying around for that Tellison and The Maple State tour that went down in February. Thats like, ages ago!
Anyways, they're up for sale for £3 on my profile page. I literally have a few left, so get on it, yeah!

In the next week or so I intend on printing something new and exciting. It'll be pretty small actually and cheap, for you. So basically it'll make an ace Christmas present for that slightly not so special person who you don't want to spend a fortune on. Anyways, i'll post that up when its done!

Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoy your christmas shopping and German markets over the next 6 weeks or so. Personally, i'm more inclined for the latter and more tempted by Amazon.co.uk for the former...
Bye. x
