Where Bones Lie Beneath The Ground (El Poder De Hacer) by Evan Hecox


A brand new 7-colour screenprint from Evan Hecox has just been released on the BLK/MRKT site to go with his current show at the Kinsey/DesForges gallery (see here). The print is entitled Where Bones Lie Beneath The Ground (El Poder De Hacer), costs $175 and has a relatively low edition size of 100. Considering quite a few of these prints were sold at the show, don't be surprised if they sell out fast- click here to buy.

Tony Alva Print by Shepard Fairey (Obey)


Alva by Shepard Fairey

The next print sent to be released on the Obey Giant site is a collaboration between Tony Alva and Shepard Fairey. The piece is based on a photo of Alva from 1977 by photographer Glen E. Friedman and will be available online come March 11th. While the size of the run is unknown, we do know that it will be available in two colourways (orange and blue) with each print signed by Shepard, Tony and Glen. The word from Shepard:
Tuesday I’ll be the guest DJ on Henry Rollin’s shoe “Harmony in My Head” along with legendary skateboarder Tony Alva. The show is on LA’s indie 103.1 FM. If you are not in LA listen online at www.indie1031.fm. Expect to hear a lot of punk rock and stories about skateboarding. I can say that I may have had an insider advantage getting the gig considering that I did the indie 103.1 logo and I have done art for Rollins. It is no coincidence that Tony Alva is my co-host. Tony and I recently collaborated on a poster. The poster is my illustration of a photo of Tony from 1977 by photographer Glen E. Friedman who has captured amazing iconic moments in skateboarding, punk rock, and hip hop. Check out his site www.burningflags.com. To celebrate the release of the Alva collaboration, we will be doing a party/art opening Sat. March 8 at the Alva store at 1086 S. Fairfax. The posters as well as some fine art pieces will be available. The posters will be available online March 11. They are signed by me, Tony, and Glen
Check out the Obey Giant website for more information.

Lights Out at the Old California by Mike Klay



The latest art print by Mike Klay entitled "Lights Out at the Old California" is now officially for sale on his site (Powerslide Design).

New Print by Dave Kinsey


Click picture to enlarge.

Unintended Consequence is the name of the brand new print by Dave Kinsey- and it's arguably his best to date. The piece is absolutely huge at 34 x 43 inches and comes in a low edition size of 50 with each print signed, stampde and numbered. I believe that this is Dave Kinsey's first giclee print- but if the results of the other BLK/MRKT giclee pieces (e.g. Ian Francis' works) are anything to go by the result will be incredible. Unfortunately with high quality comes high price; the print will cost you $600 excluding postage and packaging. You can buy it now from the BLK/MRKT Store.

ImageKind

ImageKind isn't the sort of thing that is typically mentioned on FYW but we feel it's most definitely worth a mention. In short, it's a open edition print store which sells everything from prints of famous works of art to pieces created by users of the site: the "Member Art" section is a great way of supporting fresh talent without having to pay over the odds; typical price for a print is under $20. If you're the artistic type you can also sell your artwork through the site and keep 100% of the profit made. It's a great project, check it out here.
