Cuyler Smith OutKast ATLiens Lenticular Print Release

No comments:
 

 

OutKast’s early work placed the American South squarely and inextricably on the hip-hop map, proving that the genre was not destined to be exclusively bi-coastal forever. Beyond their music, the group’s bravado and pride played no small part in convincing people to redefine the geographic boundaries of hip-hop.

Some may recall the infamous events of August 3, 1995, the day that The Source held its annual awards ceremony in New York City. The tension-filled event represented a tipping point in hip-hop’s East Coast versus West Coast feud of the mid-90sOne moment from that evening that you may not remember as vividly is what happened to OutKast when they were named Best New Artist. Upon ascending to the podium to accept their award, André and Big Boi were welcomed with a chorus of boos to which André confidently replied “the south got something to say” and exited stage left. As history has proven since, OutKast have definitely had the last laugh.

Unveiled in the waning days of August 1996, the pair’s sophomore album ATLiens was—and still is—a revelation. "It's not your average, everyday album," Big Boi explained to The Source in August 1996. "Listening to it, it's very phenomenal. It's gonna take the whole hip-hop thing to a whole 'nother level. Don't expect the same ol'. Just put it like this: it's something different." 

ATLiens debuted at number two on the billboard top 100, and sold nearly 350,000 copies in its first two weeks of release. The album has been certified double platinum by the RIAA, for shipments of two million copies in the US. The album spawned the singles "Elevators (Me & You)", "ATLiens", and "Jazzy Belle". Since its release, ATLiens has been listed by several magazines and critics as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time.

To celebrate the anniversary, Iconic by Collectionzz is releasing an officially licensed ATLiens 25th Anniversary lenticular print by Cuyler Smith! This lenticular is literally out of this world with stunning 3D depth and a 2 image flip that shows André and Big Boi turning from OutKast to ATLiens! Measuring 18x24 inches it will have an edition of 175 hand numbered prints.

Available Wednesday at 2pm in the Iconic By Collectionzz Store !!

Van Orton Design Genesis Abacab 40th Anniversary Poster Release

No comments:

 


On September 18, 2021 it will be the 40th Anniversary of Genesis' iconic album Abacab. It marked the band's development from their progressive roots into more accessible and pop-oriented songs, and their conscious decision to write songs unlike their previous albums.

The name of the album refers to the song structure as it was originally written: "A" (verse), "B" (chorus), and "C" (bridge) refer to different sections of the song. The song went verse, chorus, verse, bridge, verse, chorus, but it ended up having a different structure. "ABACAB" was just a way for Genesis to remember how it was formed when they started working on it.

Abacab was a brave project for Genesis, transitioning away from their successful sound and style of the 70s. "On that particular record, we were trying to get away from what was, at that point, traditionally Genesis, which was quite flowery and fantasy, and to go to something that was much more stark and abstract. That's why we went for an abstract art painting on the front and gave it this abstract title, Abacab, so, that it didn't conjure up any particular emotion at all. We started with a kind of blank canvas. It worked well as both a song and an album title, I think." said Tony Banks.

Abacab was a smash hit producing four singles, "Abacab" "No Reply At All," "Man On The Corner" and "Keep It Dark" all enjoying enormous airplay. Collectionzz is a big fans of the art duo Van Orton Design, whose style incorporates the pop culture and the stained glass windows of churches; and the celebration of the 40th anniversary of Abacab was the perfect project to get them involved with!
 
"It was a great honor to be able to represent this poster, because Genesis is one of our favorite bands, we are big fans of Prog. Our style in some moments recalls the stained glass windows of the churches, and the best way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Abcab was to create an original stained glass window" - Van Orton Design

Artist statement:
"Lighthouses have always fascinated me; I love how they stand strong as a symbol for guidance and light against rough waters and weather. This is a crucial time in history, where we all must take action and stand strong in the face of pollution and the destruction of natural habitats. Like the eel in this drawing, I hope that we can all be "drawn to the light", to education, peace, and the truth in the importance of protecting all living creatures. As an artist, it is extremely important to me to depict all animals with the importance that they deserve. It is urgent that we all stand strong and fight for the animals who cannot fight back against human destruction, life will not be the same without them." - Juliet Schreckinger

DAVE NAVARRO x TAZ / NHC OHANA FESTIVAL PRINT

No comments:

Dave Navarro and TAZ are working on some top-secret projects, but Dave has a cool new band, NHC, which stands for Navarro, Hawkins, and Chaney. He enlisted TAZ to put together a fresh new poster that positions the band visually for an upcoming show at OHANA Encore in October this year, along with Pearl Jam, Beck, and a few others. 

Dave wanted something that evoked the summer of love circa 1967, but with a fresh flair and a power trio feel. The poster they came up with is a 7-color silkscreen print with 2 split fountains and hand-lettered by TAZ in my conversations with TAZ I mentioned how trippy and sick the lettering was. This collectible poster will be printed by the legendary Gary Lichtenstein and will be a very limited run. Each print will be signed by Dave, Gary, and TAZ and will have a certificate of authenticity. A few will be available at the event, the others will go to lucky insiders and fans who know the artists and want to own an amazing one-of-a-kind collectible.

There might be an online release at some point, keep an eye here on the blog and TAZ's IG  https://www.instagram.com/jimevanstaz_official/

Steve Thomas Woodstock 1969 Poster

No comments:

 



In August 1969 — against the backdrop of a nation divided over politics, civil rights, and the Vietnam War — half a million people converged on a small dairy farm in upstate New York to hear Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Janis Joplin, The Band and other music icons in a concert billed as “3 Days of Peace and Music.”

What followed was beyond anything anyone could have predicted. The cultural phenomenon no one foresaw transformed an ordinary field into a historic landmark where legendary performers played to more than 450,000 people. Unimaginable mud and unforgettable moments transformed Woodstock Music and Art Fair into a cultural rallying cry for an entire generation. It was the defining moment of the counterculture revolution – and it changed their lives and the world forever.

Collectionzz decided to create a poster which not only represented peace and music, but also the grounds upon which it all took place. When Woodstock was being conceived, the original plan was for it to take place in Wallkill, New York. But after locals panicked over the scale of the project, the event was banned. This only brought more attention to the event, which organizers originally assured would only draw 50,000 attendees. Needing a new venue for the event, promoters were introduced to dairy farmer Max Yasgur. His 600-acre farm in Bethel Woods, NY, just about 40 miles southwest of Woodstock, became the site for the historic event. They thought what better way to celebrate Woodstock than with art paying homage to Max Yasgur's dairy farm!
