PRINTS PRINTS PRINTS!!

I've been trying to expand my print collection over the last couple of months and have stumbled across a bit of a menagerie of beauties, only problem is I spent all my money on new records. So I thought I would share some stuff so maybe someone can treat me for my birthday on the 27th!


The guys over at Paper Tiger have got some gorgeous new stuff out, but this print by Japanese born Yuta Onoda is my favourite by a mile. It's actually part of a exhibition called 'i am 8-bit' that asks artists to give their own interpretation of the Mario Bros. series of computer games.




 I spied this amazingly elaborate screen print by Aaron Horkey over at omgposters.com, a great place for spotting fresh talent and finding new prints before they come out. It's not my usual stuff at all but I think it's the amazing level of detail in it that appeals. It isn't out until the 8th of March so I might have to try and scrape some funds together.


















Next up is Stuntkid, aka Jason Levesque, seems like he draws alot of his influence from Tara McPherson, but his work seems to have a bit more of an edge to it. I love his anatomical studies, particularly this one 'ere, although I can't help but wish it was a screen print!














Last, and most certainly not least, is a selection of prints by Dan McCarthy. His work is some of the most inspirational I'm stumbled across in a long time, especially the use of glow-in-the-dark printing inks. His latest work, Night Air, sold out in just 3 hours(!!) so I'm probably gonna hang about for another good glow print, rather than buy a normal one.
