www.graffitistreet.com/store/dface-pop-tart-yellow-print/This is what D*Face has to say about these prints...
Death & Glory quickly led to my 2007 show Eyecons at Contemporary Gallery, Brighton, the show offer in fact coming on the opening night of that first solo show. Previously having felt limited or restrained to what I could or was expected to produce as an artists Eyecons allowed me to further develop the visual vocabulary I'd started to explore through Death & Glory, many of the pieces in Eyecons I'd already been working on whilst producing painting for Death or Glory. Through that first solo show I found a freedom to experiment, both conceptually and dimensionally. For EyeCons I again produced small maquettes and a large scale inflatable sculpture, this show also saw the release of 2 prints in what I saw as a game changers certainly in my and possibly the urban art print market, previously all prints had sat firmly within the abilities of the POW printers and what had become their known quality of print, however feeling jaded, it allowed Black Rat Press, a newly set up gallery in East London to approach me with an offer to produce prints with their publisher. I explained that I wanted to push what I was doing and that I didn't want to step on POW's toes but I needn't have worried, the first 2 prints I produced with BRP, Cli Chรฉ and Pop Tart were of unprecedented quality, multiple colours, heavy stock, gold leaf, varnish, it was I believed, a fine art print and a move away from the DIY punk style press previously accustomed to the scene. The quality of these prints and the attention it brought my work was commitment enough for me to later agree a solo show with BRP.

Death and Glory
We want you to know how hard this print was to make
โข First of all we chose to use 400grm BFK Rives Arches paper. This paper is so heavy that field mice and small birds of prey often become trapped under a single sheet.
โข Each sheet is then soaked in water for 24 hours so the ink will take to the paper.
โข We couldnโt use a steel plate, because it couldnโt give us the level of detail we needed. The acid bites too hard into the plate. So we used a zinc plate.
โข Then we used acid that you canโt even buy anymore. Acid that had literally been sitting on the printers shelves for the last twenty years. Acid that drove the printers mad and their wives into the arms of corrupt, gun-running Mafiosi from Leamington Spa.
โข After lots of attempts to get the acid to bite the way we need it to we start to print
โข When we print we have to rub the ink over the plate. Then get rid of all the ink from the plate, labouriously wiping it down with tissue, then newspaper, then by hand
โข After that, we take the paper out of the water. By now the soaked 400grm paper weighs about the same weight as a baby elephant seal and takes eight grown men to carry it across the room. (Three of those men ended up in A&E.)
โข The eight men then place the paper on the plate and put it through the etching press.
โข Half the time we get it out the other end find out the image isnโt quite up to Mikeโs foolishly exacting standards and have to throw it away, while Mike stands at the back of the room, quietly weeping over seventeen different calculators.
โข We repeat this process as many times as we have to before getting an edition of 50.
โข The prints then have to be blotted three times over three days so the paper doesnโt cockle as the water dries and thus ruining even more of these damned prints.
โข Then we collect them and ferry them to D*Face who painstakingly colours each individual print. Thatโs probably another long, drawn out process, but quite frankly weโre just happy to have them out of our sight and donโt really want to hear about that.
No wonder they only made 50.
