The Who James Eads Poster Release

 

The Who released their highly acclaimed rock opera Tommy in May of 1969 that was supported by a massive tour throughout North America and Europe. The Tommy Tour came to its conclusion 50 years ago, December 18, 1970, at The Roundhouse in London (fun fact: opening for the band that evening was a young musician named Elton John). It was a night of celebration for the band, who were in extra good spirits that evening.

To commemorate this historic show, James R. Eads created a beautiful print setting the scene of a wintery yet glowing city of London, the band's energy lighting the city through their music during the holiday season.

Prints will be available individually but if purchased as a set, the five prints come housed in a custom designed two-fold record jacket printed with liner notes for each piece on the inside of the jacket.

James Eads And PangeaSeed Mobulas in Dreamland Print Release

For World Oceans Day (June 8), PangeaSeed is pleased to announce the latest print of the ongoing Sea of Change: The Year of Living Dangerously - Vol. 3 print suite by guest artist James Eads (USA). The highlighted species of this edition is the threatened Mobula Ray aka Devil Ray (Myliobatidae).

James Eads
Title: "Mobulas in Dreamland"
16x20 inches 7 color screen print on holographic rainbow foil paper signed/numbered
Edition of 75

Available Thursday, June 8, 2017, 12 pm PST at https://shop.pangeaseed.co/

Artist statement:
Mobula Rays are otherworldly creatures that gracefully glide through the water and fly through the air. For this piece, I wanted to blur the lines between the sea and the sky and create an in between dream world for the rays to exist in. There is something beautiful about how when they travel in groups they take on a larger abstract form, morphing to create a single flowing entity. I chose a monochromatic palette for this piece to represent their elusive nature but also to call attention to their fragility. When something fits so well into its environment that it is hard to notice, it becomes even more difficult to notice once it is gone. The rainbow foil paper was chosen to act as a reminder that while they are hard to see they are very much there and when the light catches right the Mobula rays shimmer in unison speaking towards the beauty and wonder of the ocean world below.
