HELLO BIRDY

Plans for our new space are well underway and we thought it was due time to give you guys a sneak peek…

YES – that’s Vexta creating a new stencil/painting on the wall of our new space

YES  - Vexta is in Melbourne but only for a couple of weeks before relocating to Brooklyn NYC

YES  - we know you’re jealous, so are we (who doesn’t want to live in the big apple?)

YES – Vexta will be doing a limited edition stencil print of this bird exclusively for S&N

YES  - we’re very lucky

WE HEART YEN MAG

9 May

Is there anything more delicious than Alexa Chung looking smoking hot in a grey nanna jumper?

We’ve always been a fan of YEN and their commitment to Australian art. Their inclusion of a guest illustrator for each issue must have sent brain bombs of the ‘why didn’t I think of that’ variety to every  mag editor out there. So you can imagine how happy we were (jumping on couches kind of happy) when we flipped to Page 15 and saw their half page write-up on S&N.

We’ve decided to share some of the YEN love around by offering 10% off all online orders. Use code YENMAG10 at the checkout (expires 1st June 2012). Thanks YEN!

MURAL FOR TIBET: HEESCO

4 May

Back in January Heesco painted a mural for Tibet in Union Lane, Melbourne. Definitely worth watching.

 

Due to popular demand, Heesco’s Joker print is now available at S&N.

WE ARE MOVING!

3 May WE-ARE-MOVING

Later this month Signed & Numbered will be relocating to a new space.  Don’t worry all you eastsiders, we’re not going to make you cross to the other side of town to get your print fix – we’re only moving a couple of doors up :)

So why bother? Because our new address – 153 Greville Street – offers the chance to add to our original concept of a relaxed and inviting space, with some excellent new S&N features for you wonderful print peruses!

Things like…..

Larger limited edition prints up to A1 in size will become available including Delicate Mayhem’s much sought after cityscapes.  Our range of books, zines and Able & Game cards will grow, and we’ll also offer some specially selected artist-made goodies – think wall hangings, brooches and calendars.

And if that’s not enough for you here’s one more (BIG) announcement…

Just Another Agency will be co-sharing the new space with Signed & Numbered, turning the rear of the space into a dedicated exhibition area where monthly events showcasing a diverse range of original work will be held.

S&N at 153 Greville is set to be a mecca for all things art related and we can’t wait to kick open the doors in a few short weeks.

CREATIVE SPACES

2 May

Thanks to our FB fan Luca Lana (cool name huh?) for tipping us off about Creative Spaces. It’s a fantastic resource for artists looking to share a space. On the Creative Spaces website you will find spaces to hire, to lease, to share or spaces to occupy for a short period of time. You may also find case studies on spaces that have been transferred from their normal function into locations for arts projects.

Big thumbs up to the City of Melbourne and Arts Victoria in partnership with RMIT’s Design Research Institute and the Future Focus Group of the Committee of Melbourne for getting Creative Spaces up and running.

KAFF-EINE’S MC COLUMN

30 Apr

Over last Friday and Saturday night KAFF-EINE painted a Melbourne Central column.

For anyone familiar with MC you would have noticed that a fair number of columns have been ‘dressed’. I was always a huge fan of Jeremy Ley’s electric tape drawing near T-Bar (ground level near the escalators) but my new favorite column has to be KAFF-EINE’s – sorry Jem!

Above: Jeremy Ley’s electric tape column (www.jeremyley.com)

This is the third work KAFF-EINE has completed for MC since December last year. That equals a lot of late nights and red bulls….
