Vice Press deliver a fantastic next instalment in their Flash Gordon series of posters, with an enviable pairing of the cult classic British film with illustrator extraordinaire Peter Diamond. Two of our favourites, working together, and the outcome is a real feast for the eyes. 

In melding the worlds of physical and digital art, Belgian artist VEXX asks the question —Do these two realities really need to exist in mutual estrangement? With the rise of the NFT set against an undiminished love for the physical thing to hold and to hang, perhaps another question worth asking is —What value do we place in the evolution of artistic process itself?

Godzilla by Yuko Shimizu, formerly the art for The Criterion Collection’s excellent blu-ray box-set: Godzilla: The Showa-Era Films, 1954–1975, has been turned into a screenprint release by Black Dragon Press, working in collaboration with Mondo in the US. The result is a poster edition full to the brim with visible process, saturated colour, and the unmistakable hand of the artist. 

In 1981, The Clash cemented their cultural status as The Only Band That Matters, when they played an unprecedented 17 shows at the Bonds International Casino in Times Square, New York. In homage to the 40th anniversary of this significant moment in rock history, we worked with Global Merch to create a new art print edition of this truly classic concert poster. 

With a new pair of screenprinted posters, Black Dragon Press and Katherine Lam explore the subtle gravitas of Yasujirō Ozu’s first two titles in the Noriko Trilogy. Via Lam’s effortless compositional skill at framing dark against light, we are drawn into the room, where the experience is disarmingly intimate and peculiarly first-hand. 

Iranian artist Mahdieh Farhadkiaei has worked with Black Dragon Press to deliver a second edition of her effortlessly elegant, deceptively questioning, playing card screenprints. Allow the work to draw a second glance, and one quickly realises that this artist is offering a great deal more than simply riffing playfully on the presumed knowns that we take for granted.

Scintillating concept and sublime execution are the order of the day for La Boca’s official Sound of Metal poster. Screenprinted in popping fluorescents, this evocation of the Oscar winning film speaks vividly about loss, acceptance, and the shape and colour of renewal. 

Black Dragon Press revisits the Agatha Christie classics, this time with WBYK at the artwork helm. For their approach to this first in the trilogy of prints, the Australian design duo have explored the costumes and flamboyant fashion style of the film’s era, to compelling effect. 

In her new screenprint edition, Malika Favre’s colour palette delivers a trenchant exposé of the Barry Jenkins film. Yet in the blue alone, there is even more to find. Characterful and defining, a place to get lost and found, it is in blue that we find the hidden hand that guides. 

The vividly colourful mind of Murugiah has been a fascinating place for us to visit. We have journeyed through some far reach, via this new print edition, produced at the White Duck Editions studio. Using both giclée and screenprint disciplines to deliver the work, here we give a little insight into the making of this artist’s exquisite new print release.
