Dan Ford

Entry by Charlie Hood / February 3, 2012

I studied with Dan Ford and he’s a really elusive chap – I won’t speak to him for 6 months, then we’ll speak all the time. He had an awesome exhibition (wonderfully titled ‘All Killer No Filler’ after the Sum41 album) at the amazing but now defunct Moot in Nottingham, but went a bit quiet. He’s had work in both B.C. group shows and he’s just moved to Bristol where, he says, he’s gonna get back on things. I look forward to it immensely. He doesn’t have a website as we speak so just remember his name.

Lucas

Entry by Charlie Hood / February 2, 2012

Lucas paints everywhere all round London and has a style clearly influenced by the likes of Horfe and his painting partner-in-crime Malarkey, but he is really up to date with his knowledge of what’s happening in art and has all these great ideas for his work – more than just painting walls – he seems to understand what works, so whatever he does next, it won’t be shit ha ha.

CMRTYZ

Entry by Marcroy / February 1, 2012

CMRTYZ is based in Seattle, WA and they are a free thinking, DIY duo with a love for analogue and screen printed work. Awesome.

James Jarvis

Entry by Charlie Hood / February 1, 2012

James Jarvis has a show at Beach in February. I’m really glad as he’s pretty much a design legend, isn’t he? It feels like he’s legitimised a lot of stuff we’ve done, by showing in a space where we’ve had a lot of up-and-comers, and is supporting their work too. I feel a little bit humbled by it, in a way. He’s showing a series of 52 lino cuts he made weekly throughout 2011, and they’re ace.

Ritty Tacsum

Entry by Marcroy / January 31, 2012

Ritianne Muscat has been working as a freelance photographer for only 15 months and her work is being noticed all over. She is a largely self-taught experimental photographer and multimedia artist who has a keen and sensitive eye for the abnormal, absurd, weird and surreal. We look forward to seeing more work from this lady.

Idem Paris

Entry by Marcroy / January 31, 2012

Idem is formerly known as Atelier Mourlot and is renowned for bringing about the renaissance of art lithography in Paris between the two World Wars. Litho printing with Matisse, Picasso, Miro and other legends of painting, Mourlot studios still holds a wonderful history in it’s 15,000 sq ft studio which is over two floors with a gleaming glass roof. Somebody please, please, please take me!

Tom Edwards

Entry by Charlie Hood / January 31, 2012

I get the feeling with Tom Edwards he’s taking the piss a bit, but I think a lot of great artists do that. His work is really funny and I love it and it’s great to see that it’s really popular in Beach. A really old woman brought one of his prints, which has a guy on a magic carpet on it. It’s nice that everyone can appreciate it.

Seripop

Entry by Marcroy / January 30, 2012

Yannick and Chloe have redesigned their website. It’s a lovely, clean design that is easy to navigate through a world of the most amazing screen printed work and installations. We love Seripop.

Outline Editions

Entry by Marcroy / January 30, 2012

Outline Editions was started by Bill and Camilla who have a wealth of experience in both curation and the art world. The image displayed is the amazing work of Sarah King who is just one of the selected artists.

Bonjour Jean Jacques

Entry by Charlie Hood / January 30, 2012

Bonjour Jean-Jacques are two cool kids from Paris. They’re really young graphic designers and are doing some really interesting stuff. Their work is very trendy I guess – a lot of internet art but they seem very grounded in art history, which I think stands them out from a lot of the Tumblr internet art types and marks them out as ones to watch…

Contributor :: Charlie Hood

Entry by Marcroy / January 29, 2012

This coming week we have Charlie from Beach London contributing to our site. He has a lot of awesome things lined up for your viewing pleasure. He clearly has an eye for all things that are awesome because he directs what is on display in his store. We are very fond of this guy and he likes to make a strong punch at his private views.

RIP :: Richard Paul Lohse

Entry by Marcroy / January 26, 2012

I have just been introduced to the amazing work of Richard Lohse, who started off creating systematic oil paintings and later went on to produce some killer prints. I love how his work looks like the dither on a low resolution digital image yet it is created by manually placing blocks of colour with perfect registration.

2 Many Printers

Entry by Marcroy / January 26, 2012

Wow, these guys got in touch with us in regards to the new Jiro Bevis t-shirt they have printed, but it doesn’t end there…just go take a look for yourself. Rad.

Seiko Bun

Entry by Marcroy / January 26, 2012

This is a non print related post, in fact…far from it. However, what you will find here is a lovely collection of Seiko’s BUN. Carefully groomed every day. What a wonderful thing.

Entry by Marcroy / January 25, 2012

Hannah Buck

Entry by Marcroy / January 25, 2012

Hannah is an old classmate of mine and probably one of the best drawers that I know. Then she started translating her drawings into huge lino cuts and other large scale prints. Totally mind blowing.

Drawswords

Entry by Marcroy / January 25, 2012

One of the biggest trends in graphic design at the moment is the use of bold, overlaying colours and lots of warped / scanned typography. Pretty much everything that I love. This post is the work of Amsterdam-based design studio Drawswords, which was founded by Rob van den Nieuwenhuizen (NL). The studio’s work is characterised by visually strong, clear and refreshing content-based typographic solutions. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
