Malleus - Roadburn 2009 Posters

I don't think I can emphasize enough about how much I love the work of Italian screen printers extraordinaire Malleus. I narrowed down their portfolio just to focus on the posters they produced for the Roadburn festival back in 2009 and it is these works which first gained my attention of the art collective. 

In my eyes I can see Alphonse Mucha's overt influence in all aspects, the consistent feature of semi-naked women, the explosive colours and the poster medium Mucha too favoured. It's also in the grace and beauty of the women and the subtle combination of the colours, though Mucha preferred earthier tones Malleus go psychedelic and burst with powerful, flourishing colour which is marvellous. 

I totally recommend you to go check out more of their work at their cool website HERE

On top of their awesome art, some members of the Malleus collective are also in the drone/doom band Ufomammut, see a cool photo I took of them live here, they are psychedelic and heavy and worth your time.

Keith Haring

So, looking through images to try and find a nice background for the spiffy new About page and I remembered I had taken this picture in Pisa last summer of this gem of a Keith Haring work, titled 'Tuttomondo'. It was tucked away in an alley beside a cafe and easily missable, thankfully my Pa hunted it down and it was worth the trek.

My favourite guy is that wolf-looking one in the middle-ish area. He's cool.

I'll probably lie and say I'll do a future post on Keith Haring, even though I should cause he's great, but all I'm going to do is point you in the right direction.
