Dr Teeth & The Electric Mayhem posters


 Illustrator Michael De Pippo created 5 retro posters for each member of the Muppet band Dr Teeth & The Electric Mayhem in anticipation of the new Muppet film release.

Disney got wind of them and licensed them for sale on their ACME Specialty Art site, some are sold out but a couple are still available. The versions shown here are the original designs with fake creases and misregistered print which didn’t survive for the Disney versions.
It’s a shame because these really give them the sense of original gig posters, also the date of the gig is the date that the Muppets first aired on TV, nice touch.

Turntable Illusions

I’ve had this for years, the pages tear out and you can put them on your turntable and trip out. The book has a pre-punched spindle hole through the middle and info on each of the optical illusions and who created them. Coming in handy for the planetarium show…

Oliver Sacks book covers

Really like these, found them whilst looking for something else. Six reissued books by neurologist Oliver Sacks that all work as lovely individual designs or make up one big one. Don’t know who the designer is but well done.

Kraftwerk ‘Computer World’ poster

This lovely design was made by Stefanie Posavec, showing the length of cassette tape needed to record Kraftwerk‘s ‘Computer World’. Originally made as a one off for a friend’s club night she’s finally made them for sale.

It’s available as a 915 x 700mm 2-colour litho print (the yellow is fluorescent) on 300gsm, on Challenger Offset paper in a signed edition of 200. You can get it here and 25% of the profits go to the Ganet’s Adventure fund that helps a small primary school in Milawi.

Heads up

I never saw this before but was made aware of it by Nabil over at 3 Nipples Music (yes you read that right). It’s the Criterion issue of the Monkees‘ classic ‘Head’, unfortunately it only seems to be available as part of the America: Lost and Found box set and not as a standalone disc. My own ‘Head’ rescore is still online over at Internet Archive but who knows how long that will stay up.

Remi /Rough for Scraffer.com

Remi / Rough has just done the cover for the Scraffer yearbook (those nice people who do the DJ Food x Henry Flint posters) which has interviews and photos with lots of artists including D*Face, Invader, Luke Insect, Pure Evil, Toasters as well as Remi himself. It’s an A5 book which has been randomly signed by some of the artists who were all asked to sum up 2011 in their own words. Even better is the fact that all proceeds from the £10 price tag go to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Snap one up here.
Remi’s also just finished the cover for another project closer to home that I’ll be able to reveal soon but before that he’s off to Miami to take part in the Art Basel show for Graffuturism.

Kofie ‘Circulatory System’ @ White Walls, SF preview

The incredible Augustine Kofie returns to the White Walls gallery in San Francisco this weekend for a new show of 30 works called ‘Circulatory System’. This guy has to be one of my favourite artists full stop. Nice to see some of the big bag of Letraset I gave him on his visit to London earlier this year getting some use too. :)

These pictures mostly taken from the excellent Graffuturism blog

Secret Oranges blogspot

My good friend Steve Cook has been going through his drawers and cupboards (and believe me he has a lot) and finding loads of ephemera from his days working as a designer for 2000ad, Dr Who, Starburst and many more. I know for a fact that he’s got tons of other interesting bits and bobs in his collection so take a look if the miscellania of comic history is your bag. The Secret Oranges title is a play on the Secret Origins series’ so beloved by comics publishers.
