Life in the city can be dirty work. Loud, overcrowded and overpriced… it takes resolve to live and love side-by-side.
To celebrate those who endeavour, street comic OFF LIFE and Print Club London are coming together for ‘As One’ – an illustration project and live event that will commission six young artists to turn the mirror on London.
“The comic artists involved are amazing,” enthuses OFF LIFE editor Daniel Humphry. “I think you’ll dig the challenge we’ve set them.”
Throughout May Isabel Greenberg, Jamie Coe, Brigid Deacon, Andrew Rae, David Biskup and Elliot Kruszynski will each create a short comic that snapshots their life in the modern city. Warts and all.
You can then join them on 28th May 2015 for a live printing night at the Print Club Studios – to meet the artists, screen print your own copy of the limited edition artworks and raise a drink to this dirty life of ours.
The event will run from 6 – 9.00pm as a drop-in session, so feel free to come throughout the night. Latest entry 8:30pm
• Tickets for the event are extremely limited. Grab yours while you can!
