Secret Blisters















Last night I made it down to Print Club's Secret Blisters event. The concept; 35 artists designs had been selected and printed in limited edition runs of 35 and were on sale for £35. The secret part of the shows name comes from the artists name not being put with their print, so that people are buying on the merit of the design, rather than an artists reputation.

It was held in the MC Motors space just down the alley from Print Club's studio, which was aesthetically the perfect space for the show and big enough to hold the hundreds of people that had turned up.

Of the 35 posters on show there were some really great designs, which made it pretty hard to pick one to buy (I would like to have got more, but hey, there's a recession don't you know). In the end we decided on number 30, a really cool print of a piano with Nina Simone lyrics hand drawn on to it (see picture above). Though, due to the secret nature of this years Blister event, I'm not sure who printed it yet.*

It was a great night, make it down to Print Club's next show and maybe even give it a shot at getting your design in to 2010's blisters exhibition.

*Just found out that the artist responsible for the fine print I purchased was in fact Anthony Peters. (The signature on the poster was a tad hard to make out in case you're wondering why it took me so long)!
