Whiteduck | Bristol Riders Series

This is a series of three, two colour screen prints which are currently on show as part of the Bristol Cycle Festival Exhibition at the Howies gallery space in Bristol. 

I took the original photographs at the finnish line of last years 'Hacksaws Challenge' bike race from the harbour side in Bristol to Queens Square in Bath and back again. I am in the process of re-vamping our online shop, and once that is done these, along with a few more bits and pieces will be available to buy.

Cobble Wobble | 2010

Last sunday saw the second ever 'Cobble Wobble' bicycle race in Frome sponsored by Charge Bikes. There were categories for all ages from the under 14's to the over 50's. It was a great day out, much fun was had. We printed up some t-shirts for the event and they will be for sale on the Cobble Wobble web site also. I am already looking forward to next year's event and Josh is planning to give it a go next time.

Well done to Chris Akrigg for winning the overall Charge Bikes King of the Cobbles in a astonishing time of 21.510 seconds.... Wowsers!!

WHITEDUCK | ARTCRANK

Bikes are the world’s most fun, accessible way to get around. Posters are the world’s most fun, accessible art form. ARTCRANK brings them together.

The first-ever ARTCRANK London show will take place on Friday, September 17 and Saturday, September 18 in the world-famous confines of Look Mum No Hands! The show features original artwork by UK artists, priced to let you put down a pint or three and still take home all your favorite posters.

................................................

This is our contribution. It will be for sale at a price of £15 at the show, then if there are any left over I will put them up on our shop after the show.

It is a 3 colour screen print on 270 gsm GFSmith Colorplan Bright White Stock. The main image is made from two photographs I took at last years 'Hacksaws Challenge' bike race (Bristol to Bath and back again).

I am so pleased with the way these came out, especially after we managed to print them on perhaps the most humid day of the year, which played hell with the paper stretching fractionally along the grain. Still managed to get an edition of 30 with the registration of the three colours bang on.

A Beautiful Machine | WhiteDuck

We were really excited to get involved in this event, A Beautiful Machine, coming courtesy of Howies & McFaul Studio.  For those of you who haven't seen the vast amount of tweeting and publicity surrounding this, the brief was simply "produce a piece of art based around the words A Beautiful Machine that isn't bigger than A2 and needs to be framed".  Or at least that's a summing up.

Anyway, our 4 colour print is based around a photograph taken in Bristol during a skid comp, possibly one of the more exhilarating occasions one spends on his or her beautiful machine.

We wanted to demonstrate with this edition some of the finer effects and nuances that screen print can achieve.  It runs like this...

We're really happy with our print, but this will be only one amongst some 50 exhibiting artists!  The event runs for two weeks, so check the blog for info on how, where & when to check it out.
