Long day down the print mines yesterday doing some test prints for a larger commissioned wall piece that I am doing later in the year. I will stick some of these up later... for the mo this is the next one of the 'Safe Mode' pieces on wood.

[Leo Boyd]

and here are a couple of images of the test prints... pretty hard to photograph as the light is weird today

Back from 2 weeks in Lisbon (more on this later) to find that these rather fine photos and a short interview has been published

Just been chosen to be one of the artists for Hit the North, Belfast's biggest (and only) street art festival... So I get a wall to mess about with which I am going to do a large messy vertically screen printed/spray painted piece... probably one of the computer heads with some huge half tone shading and messed up tower blocks hovering in the distance!
good times
I am thinking something like these guys below.

[Leo Boyd]

I have 2 artists’ proofs of this new piece, ‘Bird Feeder’ to sell @ the giveaway price of £70 each.
They are a mix of screen printing, painting, spray painting and generally messing around and experimenting with paint layering. They are printed onto grey fabriano acid free paper which is an absolute joy to work with.
They are slight different sizes...
No. 1
32 x 42.5 cm
leoboydprints.bigcartel.com/product/bird-feeder

Title ‘Bird Feeder’ Artists’ Proof
Mixed media screen print onto grey acid free fabriano paper.
Size 32 x 42.5 cm
Artists’ proof, variable edition of 2
All screen prints are numbered and signed.

Thanks Duggyfresh!
Am pretty happy with these... that grey fabriano is really nice to work with and has a great matt muted surface which is perfect for this work. Can't wait till I have the time to do some large pieces on it.

sorry about the bad photo... I know its a bit Banksy but seriously these Ice Creams are all over Belfast
also got the feckin paypal sort out on me wee shop!
good times

[Leo Boyd]

So I have been given an exhibition in Dublin which is great but its opening on culture night where and when I have 3 jobs in Belfast, one a wall for Hit the North street art festival and 2 other live screen printing jobs... so I need a clone.
Also the exhibition is called ‘A Belfast Love Story’ and is all supposed to be Belfast based work...but I have sold most of my old Belfast stuff... so apart from a load of images of Meat Wagons I am going to have to throw in a load of the new computer head pieces and hope that they somehow make sense. 

[Leo Boyd]

things are getting hectic here... going down south next week to start a build for the Electric Picnic. So far its a screen printed art installation done up as a 70s TV repairs shop. This weekend I am going to printing about a 1000 television head masks.
Also been commissioned by ulster bank of all people to do some screen prints for the Belfast festival... I have done the designs and am just hoping that they choose the designs that I like.
Anyhoo here is a design for one of the screens for the picnic.
I will stick up some of the tv head masks later

That all sounds very exciting. I like the idea of the tv repair shop. When I was younger I remember hiring my tv from such places. Oh, the good old days, before computers, mobile phones, and having a choice of 3 channels!
Take and share some pics of the tv repair shop please.

Great idea! Get down to your local charity shops and pick up some nice beige flares and some 70's Ray-Bans

I remember being somewhat excited the first time I upgraded my package to include the rental of a video recorder!

Plenty of photos please Leo.
Would you consider this conceptual art? I'm not sure of definitions, but I think I would. I like conceptual art.

Haha, you obviously won the pools that week! . I know an old boy that still has a B&W tv, just so he can save on the tv license

yeah i suppose so. i have done quite a lot of live screen printing events in festivals... I have a mobile screen printing cart that we took to glastonbury 2 years ago... bt this is the first time i have been given a room to work with. and free reign to do what i want! I like the idea of seedy 70s offices and crappy tech so the TV heads was a given. The print bed itself is going to be done up like a rubbish old photocopier.
