After the roaring success of last years film inspired, Cinemascope Exhibition, and gaining the Brighton, Fringe Festival 2009 ‘Best in Show Winners’ award, Boxbird are back and aiming for that grand prize again. This time round they have opted for the handmade approach, asking all artists involved to produce something using contemporary printmaking skills & Illustration. The theme this year is equally exciting, inspired by travel, and weird and wonderful adventures, and just the few previews above show the diversity in styles and imagination for the amazing journey that will be the A to B Exhibition.

“…Join Boxbird and over 30 artists from across the globe for one of the Brighton Fringe Festival’s most eagerly anticipated exhibitions with new and exclusive work by some incredible talent including Jon Burgerman, Graham Carter, Lidia de Pedro, Peepshow Illustration Collective and Modern Toss…” – Boxbord Gallery

Unfortunately, we don’t have anymore information on other artists’ submissions, we do however have details about ‘Chasing Constellations, Screenprint, Stephen Chan’ that I would love to share with everyone (sorry for the shameless plug again).

Money makes the world go round, we need it to survive our day to day lives and cover our basic necessities. It gives us the power to make the lives of our families better, but it is also the thing which makes us lie, cheat and steal.

Our good friend Kenn Munk has set up this clever little exhibition piece, bridging the gap between art and design, exploring our never ending need for ‘more money’. This low tech money printing station allows you to print as much money as you want, then pay whatever amount you feel it is worth. Kenn even expects people to leave sweet wrappers and other bits of rubbish in the safe box, or even rob it, but this just further strengthens the meaning behind the art installation.

This money printing station is a part of Art Whino, Crystal City BID and Vornado’s G-40: The Summit, a month long (March 2010) exhibition and event series featuring over 800 artists from around the world.

“..Our mission is to bring you the largest body of work from innovators of the New Brow Art otherwise labeled Pop-Surrealism, Lowbrow and Urban Contemporary worldwide to one place. Our collection of artists has grown to 800 strong..” – Art Whino

It’s always a treat when you stumble upon something truly great on a Friday morning! Having been listening to the Paulo Nutini track ‘Pencil Full of Lead’ I decided to look up who’d done the brilliant cover art, and it turned out to be Marq Spusta. And I was amazed by how much great work he’s done! He’s done illustrations for Paulo Nutini, Tom Petty, The Black Crowes, Sigur Ros AND… Tennage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Summat for everyone!! There tons of artwork to admire, over on his site.

UK-based illustrator Matt Lyon (aka C86) isn’t afraid to use colour! Browsing through his portfolio is bound to brighten even the dullest, rainy autumn day, and to make it even better he’s just updated his C86 site, with a bunch of new work as well as downloadable freebies (in the shopping section). We’ve picked out a couple of his final pieces, but there’s drawings on his site as well, featuring a stack of his ace geometric patterns.

I’m currently enjoying all that is Camellie at the moment! The 24yr old romanian illustrator produces intertwining explosions of cute, yet odd, character line drawings with so much style and charisma.

Her latest piece is entitled Yoink! It’s a limited edition of just 15 screenprints on 300gms paper, size 38×38cm, hand pulled by the equally cool Adam Dedman and hand signed and numbered. It’s available for sale on Camellie’s website and soon they’ll be up for sale in the Cut-Out Shop at Custard Factory in Birmingham.

We here at Thunder Chunky don’t really endorse drug taking, alcoholism or violence, (we’re a clean, happy, positivity promoting, design loving kinda place) but we’ve got to say these stunning illustrations over at Stoned on Saturdays are pretty awesome. We were unaware of this awesomeness until Ben the Illustrator highly recommended the site to us. One of McFaul’s superstar designers, melbs (aka Chris Malbon) has just recently launched this site, a place to give new life to the old sketches he used to draw back in the day…

“…I found my sketchbooks out a few months back, I don’t smoke anymore, too old, life’s moved on…but i thought it would be fun to bring all those doodles to life, so here’s the result, my Stoned On Saturdays series…”
