Alice Cooper Constrictor 35th Anniversary by Vance Kelly

 

 
Iconic by Collectionzz limited edtion screenprint commemorating the 35th anniversary of Alice Cooper's classic album Constrictor is now available!
 
Alice Cooper's classic album Constrictor, released on September 22, 1986, is celebrating its 35th anniversary! Constrictor was a fresh start for Cooper after a three year hiatus from the music industry, and was arguably the best work he put forth in years. Cooper succeeded in re-establishing himself by bringing back the energy that had made Killer and Welcome to My Nightmare so popular, and in the process regained his crown as the king of Shock Rock!

The horror series Friday the 13th teamed up with Cooper during this time to produce the theme song for its latest film. The song “He's Back (The Man Behind the Mask)” was written for Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives and went on to become a #1 hit in Sweden. The song provides a perfect blend of Alice eeriness and toe-tapping radio appeal.

And who can forget that classic cover art! Artist Vance Kelly took inspiration from the album art depicting the boa constrictor having finished off the job with a skeleton of Alice Cooper all that remains of Ol Black Eyes!

Zoe Keller Syngnathidae Art Print

 

 
PangeaSeed Foundation is pleased to announce the latest fine art print release for their educational print program, Printed Oceans. Featuring original artwork by supporting ARTivist Zoe Keller (USA). "Syngnathidae" is a limited art print edition highlighting the plight of some of the ocean's most unique and charismatic creatures, and the importance of a healthy ocean ecosystem

Our oceans cover more than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface and are home to an incredible 94 percent of the planet’s living species. With so much of the Earth’s surface taken up by the ocean, it’s evident how vital these marine environments are to the planet, and how much there still is to be explored.

Artist: Zoe Keller (USA)
Title: "Syngnathidae"
Edition size: 75 regular | 25 hand-embellished
Dimensions: 18x24 inches | 24x32 inches
Details: 18x24 inches full bleed signed and numbered by the artist | 24x32 inches full bleed, uniquely hand-embellished, and signed and numbered by the artist
Paper: Printed on Canson Aquarelle 310gsm museum-grade archival paper
Pricing: 18x24 inches $100 | 24x32 inches $175
 
Available now via shop.pangeaseed.org

Artist statement:
Syngnathidae is a family of bony fishes that includes seahorses, seadragons, pipefish and pipehorses. These small, charismatic creatures are important symbols of healthy ocean ecosystems, and they are disappearing. Each year, millions are swept up in trawl nets as bycatch, and millions more are traded illegally for use in traditional medicine and as dried curiosities in souvenir shops. Development, pollution, agricultural fertilizer runoff, and ocean warming driven by the climate crisis are all making life untenable for those that evade capture. By protecting our marine waters, and supporting the work of organizations like Project Seahorse, The Seahorse Trust, and the IUCN SSC Seahorse, Pipefish, and Seadragon Specialist Group, we can preserve these incredible ocean jewels, and the ecosystems they call home, for generations to come.

DMX Prayer Print By Godmachine

 

 
 DMX announced himself to the world in 1998 with his multi-platinum-selling debut album It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot, a stormy survey of greed, violence, crime and betrayal, which also displayed his gift for blending light and heavy textures behind an intense, menacing presence at the microphone. His next four albums also went to number one, making him the first rapper to have their first five albums go straight to the top of the US chart.

Earlier this year the world lost DMX, but his story and his music will live on. Iconic by Collectionzz are truly humbled to have been invited to create an official piece of art commemorating the life of such an iconic figure. As always, up for the task was artist Godmachine who illustrated the art entitled "Prayer" like DMX's delivery of lyrics, blending the smooth with rough. The poster measures 18x24 and hand numbered edition of 200.

Rush Roll The Bones 30th Anniversary Print by Ben Brown


 

On September 3rd, 1991, Rush released their 14th album, Roll the Bones. The album has a taste of rap, a bit of funk, and a bigger “groove” than fans expected from Rush at the time. Neil chose to be more straight-ahead, leaving room for Geddy's bass playing to be more aggressive.

"Roll The Bones' is the perfect title, because through all of the thoughts that I go through on the album, about all these nasty things that happen, and all these terrible things that could happen to you: a drunk in a stolen car could run over you on your way home tomorrow night, and you could have the best-laid plans for what you want to do, but there's still that element of chance that it could all go wrong. But the bottom line of that is, 'Take the chance, roll the bones.' If it's a random universe, and that's terrifying and it makes you neurotic and everything, never mind. You really have to just take the chance or else nothing's going to happen. The bad thing might not happen but the good thing won't happen either, so that's really the only choice you have." Neil Peart, “Roll The Bones Radio Special"

The album went to number three in America, the band’s first album to hit the US top five since 1981’s Moving Pictures, and “Ghost of a Chance” made it to number two on the Mainstream Rock chart. For the Rush R40 Tour in 2015, the performance of the titular track features an accompanying video for the rap section that had lip synching cameos from Rush super fans Peter Dinklage, Chad Smith, Jay Baruchel, Les Claypool, Tom Morello, Paul Rudd, and Jason Segel.

To mark Roll the Bones' 30th anniversary, Iconic by Collectionzz is releasing brand new officially licensed limited edition screenprints by Ben Brown!

I was fan of the early records of Rush - and being a big music fan, always paid respect to their very capable music chops - both as players and composers. As a kid I loved 70’s hard driving rock (still do!) - Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, The Faces, Led Zeppelin - and those early Rush LP’s fit right in to my play list. I was not as familiar with later output from the band - in the early 90’s I had moved on and was riding skateboards and listening to hard core punk rock and metal.
When Collectionzz approached me to create a Rush poster - I was stoked - and revisited ‘Fly By Night’ and 2112. I also played Roll the Bones. At first I fell back on the old cliche of 'I like the early stuff better'. But the more I listened to it as I worked up the images for the poster, I just couldn’t believe how it grew on me. Testament to their skill to write songs and riffs that drag you in. Pouring over the lyrics for inspiration added another layer too. Neils lyrics and writing in general gave me plenty to draw on. There are quite a few obscure and cryptic visuals we have included in the poster detailed below. It was great fun to work on. I love screen printed rock posters and feel privileged and excited to add this one to my portfolio. - Ben Brown

There is a regular edition and a Now It's Dark Variant available now in the Iconic By Collectionzz Store !!

Black Crowes Shake Your Money Maker Poster By Dan Black Release

 
Iconic by Collectionzz have released three prints for The Black Crowes so far, and they are excited to announce the fourth! If you have attended (or will be attending) the band's Shake Your Money Maker Tour, you may have noticed the beautiful tour poster hanging up in the merchandise booths. Or you may have not noticed it because they've been selling out! Collectionzz can finally officially announce their collaboration with the The Black Crowes in creating those prints, which are illustrated by Dan Black and printed by LandLand!  
 
They're offering an exclusive variant of the tour poster that's printed on a Brushed Gold Foil that gives the colors an even deeper richness, and the script lettering and other finer details throughout the illustration are golden! You won't be able to grab this exclusive variant on tour, now is your chance to celebrate the return of rock and roll!

"Its an honor to create the poster for The Black Crowes' Shake Your Money Maker tour! This art was inspired by many of the songs off of Shake Your Money Maker, but in particular "Struttin' Blues" and the lyrics "out there, breeze is finally blowing, no tellin' when the train pulls in." I think this song is relevant right now for a number of reasons. Not only are the Crowes back, but it's a reunion of fans and live music after a very difficult year. The train's boxcars are textured from the weather but, but they're still solid and the lights are still on. The cities are hand-painted onto boxcars, like badges of honor that tell the story of the Shake Your Money Maker tour and where the caboose has been.

If you look closely, you'll also notice candles, 30 to be exact. Not only are they a reference to "Hard to Handle," but they commemorate the 30th anniversary of the iconic album that the band is playing in full. Hope you enjoyed the show!" -Dan Black

McMonster The Wrong Way Art Prints Release

 

 
 
PangeaSeed Foundation is pleased to announce the latest fine art print release for their educational print program, Printed Oceans. Featuring original artwork by supporting ARTivist McMonster (USA). "The Wrong Way" is a limited art print edition highlighting habitat destruction, such as mangroves, and the importance of wildlife conservation. Currently, mainly due to human impact, we are losing species 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate. At this rate, at least 10,000 species go extinct every year.
 
Artist: McMonster (USA)
Title: "The Wrong Way"
Print dimensions: 16x20 inches with a half-inch border
Paper: Printed on museum-grade textured archival paper
Edition size: Standard black & white edition of 50 and Variant color edition of 25 all signed and numbered by the artist 
Pricing: $100 and $150 USD

Release date: Thursday, September 2 at 12 pm PST via shop.pangeaseed.org

Artist statement: 
"Mangroves are home to some of the most diverse ecosystems in existence. Every inch of them teeming with diversified life, from fish to birds, reptiles to big cats. Mangroves are truly magical. They are enchanting and an integral part of mitigating climate change. Unfortunately, every year more and more are disappearing due to coastal development.

In this painting, I chose to use the flying Egrets to represent moving upwards on onwards from our current climate situation, and their glow represents the importance of doing so. Having them move from left to right, mirroring the smoke and smog of the city is implying that this is the correct way to go. I have the mangrove tiger moving from right to left to represent their population moving in the wrong direction. I chose to make the smoke from the city imitate the veiny tangles of branches and vines of the Mangrove forests. The colored editions of this piece are meant to show the magic that the Mangroves possess, while the black and white versions are meant to represent the somber and heavy mood of what is actually taking place, which is the steady decline of these magical water forests due to coastal development." - McMonster
