Nobrow Magazine 'Gods and Monsters'

A wee while ago I was invited to contribute to an exciting new magazine being published by an up and coming new publisher called NOBROW. The first issue of Nobrow printed in two colours and exploring the theme of Gods and Monsters showcases some brilliant artwork from some great artists and Illustrators. I got my copy last week and it really is beautifully designed and printed. It also smells amazing.

The launch party for the magazine's release is this thursday 14th May at Jaguar shoes in London town from 7pm and will exhibit large scale versions of the pages. Following that Nobrow will be available to purchase from a number of bookshops and galleries. For more info go to www.Nobrow.net

Below is Nobrow's press release for the launch!

Vincent!

I am involved with a great exhibition with three other great drawers / Illustrators which is opening next week at The Flea Pit on Columbia Rd, London. The exhibition is on until 24th May and the private view is this Tuesday from 6.30 - 10.00. Come on down and say Hello. The excellently designed website www.Vincent-Steinbeck.com has some links to the other artists and venue.

See you there!

Heads and pattern. Pattern and heads.

I haven't posted anything up here for a while so here is a bumper load of bits and pieces. Above is one of the screen prints mentioned in the post below for sale also mentioned below over at my website. The print is B2 sized (500mm X 707mm) and as can be deduced from the picture it is printed in red and black.


These two heads were drawn a few months ago and have been staring each other out above my desk in my studio. So far i think the one on left is winning. They were drawn on B2 sized paper with a nice big graphite stick.



Over Christmas as is the done thing for creative people and those with no money I made some christmas presents for me friends and family including these rather fetching canvas bags. Let me know if you would like to buy one of these and I will do my utmost to make you one.

This is Nick White's Shop Now Open!

Yes my shop is now up on my website for all to peruse. Not quite in time for the christmas post but hey. For sale are a series of silk screen prints recently printed by myself at The Rob Clarke Print Studio. For anyone in London who would like to buy one of these prints but doesn't want to spend money on postage then i can probably arrange to meet up behind Tesco or Asda or not even a supermarket maybe just by a statue or other famous landmark.

The Combination of... December / Christmas 08.

What?! Another poster for the combination of... That's like one a month. Yup! Here is the flyer for the Christmassy Combination of... where you can expect among the regular top notch musical bands probably some mince pie and mulled wine action. See you there with tinsel on.

The Combination of... November 08 and October 08 Two.

Here is November's flyer for the superb night The Combination of... The evenings that the fine fellows over at www.thecombinationofwordstoformsentences.com put on have been described as 'The best night of my life' and ' No, the best night of my life not yours.' and 'I think you'll find it was the best night of my life as i was dancing like a wild animal and everyone knows that if you end up dancing like a wild animal then that is definitely the best night of your life.' and 'Well, when I went there was noone dancing like a wild animal.' and ' We must have gone on different nights then.' and ' Spose so.'


The Combination Of... had another night on in October and this was the flyer. Though Joe Gideon and the Shark played i decided to draw a horse instead. The horse is blue because if you look closely he has a hand around his throat giving him a little squeeze. Don't worry the horse was fine and not eaten by the people who came to the Macbeth that night. That most definitely did not happen. And if it did (which it didn't) I wouldn't have eaten it because as everyone knows I don't eat horse. Only ponies.

A Joyfully Bewildering Tight Fit!

Above is the image i submitted to the 'Joyful Bewilderment' show currently on at Rough trade East. It is among some lovely pieces of work (about 125 pieces to be exact) and well worth a looksy. The private view was pretty crazy horses. In fact the first private view where i've seen a one in one out policy on the door but it's calmed down now so you'll be alright.


Here's a few of the pieces on show. Mine is below the flying Logs!


Although the private view was busy busy I managed to meet Sarah and Duncan from Crayonlegs and Mr Adrian Fleet. Sarah's zine 'Tight Fit' which i mentioned before is out now! And here is the front cover which she done designed.

My contribution 'Fernando lamas had a hairy face.' is on the left. Duncan's is on the right. Go buy it here!
