Blackout Blisters



Following the success of its Secret Blisters exhibition last year and the Blisters On My Fingers show of the previous year, London-based screenprinting club, Print Club London opens its doors on the 3rd December for its third annual print exhibition.

This year, there will be 40 exhibiting artists, 40 editioned and signed silkscreen prints by each, selling for £40 a pop. Entrants had to include a glow-in-the-dark element to the designs – as the exhibition venue (a rather wonderful shabby old warehouse in Dalston) will be plunged into darkness at various points during the opening night so the assembled can see the posters a-glowing.

Each year Fred, Rose and Kate open up the exhibition for submissions – anyone can submit! But they also go after a few favourites. This year some golden oldies are taking part and it’s going to be incredible.

The key to the show they believe is aligning some really established illustrators, street artists and designers alongside those fresh out of art school. Their aim is to take affordable art prints to a wider demographic, encouraging buyers to invest in original artwork.

Street Artist Ben Eine famous for his letters on shuttering now spreading worldwide, and a favourite artist of David Cameron who gifted Eines work to President Obama, will be signing his prints live on the opening night! Whilst old schooler Jamie Reid is also taking part, famous for his Sex Pistols album cover “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols” and once described by Sean O’Hagan of The Observer as “the single most iconic image of the punk era”, Reid has produced a print for the show.
Other artists include: MR BINGO, CLIFFORD RICHARDS, STEVIE GEE, SI SCOTT, PETER STITSON, LUKE INSECT, HENNIE HAWORTH, PURE EVIL, STEVIE GEE and many more!

SHOW OPENS @ 6pm on Friday 3rd December VENUE: MC Motors, Millers Ave, Dalston, E82ds The show will be open Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th 12midday -6pm

Guest list now full or closed... Ahhhh well.

Good luck to those who make it, wanted to see the Si Scott.

[linguiny]

Looking forward to going to this, first stop Eine then to Pure Evil then Si Scott then the pub!!!

[They call me Stephen]

I can no longer make this and have 2 names on the door. It's a great show and one well worth checking out. I've been the last two years and have come away with a bunch of prints on both occassions.

If anyone wants my name so they can go along tonight pm me.

[Martin DK]

Nice event!! Looking forward to see photos!

[optiknerve]

If anyone is going and fancies grabbing me a Eine that would great :-) No chance of me making down to London unfortunately!

[saint]

Why are people asking other people to buy them a print they havent even seen yet?!? it might be awful!

[They call me Stephen]

All gone now…thanks and sorry to all who pm’ed…ended up giving them to the person who got in first I’m afraid.

Go on Saturday, your favourites might still be there. I know I’m hoping!

[OutsideIn]

Always worth popping in over the weekend, but I would imagine a lot of the big names have long since gone.

The Jamie Reid was really nice, great texture (although that could have just been the framed one) - reminded me a little of The Pixies Doolittle album cover.

[jackstranger]

Great cover... and great booklet...

[craigf]

Echoing the love for the Reid and Eine prints ;D

[Sacked...]

I think Jamies print is a theme he has explored before,still good thou'.

[linguiny]

Great show loved the glow in the dark inks my favs were the Eine and Pure Evil thank you and good night!

[debuts]

What a great show can't believe I was one of the lucky few to get an eine!

[scavos]

Nice Eine there but I especially like that Pure Evil print. That looks a little belter in that frame. Cheers for the photos jusdeep.

Quite right Harry, better version imo of his 1990's Ova

[wizzy]

Should have got that Reid though JD.

[jusdeep]

I know Wiz, I was limiting myself to 3 though. So easy to go crazy!
I made the mistake of starting to look at the prints, saw the Eine, then realised that the artists were named under each piece (unlike other years which have been blind) and jumped in the queue so as not to miss out. Also picked up a Si Scott and James Joyce, but so wished I had trusted my instinct.
