Emek Masthay Lovato Bicycle Day Blotter Print Releases

Shakedown Gallery has another fine offering for Bicycle Day this year,

Need some weird art to tide you over while you shelter in place?

Emek plundered deep into the neuroses of a nation and dredged up the Plague Blotter. Titled, “Los Dose Plague Bros: The Quarantweakers, Lickit and Covidiot,” you're going to want to be sure to wash your hands before and after handling this one. And for all that is holy in the world, DO NOT PUT IT ON YOUR TONGUE!

While the rest of the designs on the site will be released at 9 AM Pacific on 4/19, the Plague Blotter print set will be released on Bicycle Day at 10 AM Pacific. Emek prints are limited to one print per color scheme per address until midnight. (Buyers can buy one each of red and purple. If prints are still available at 12:01 on 4/20, you are welcome to scoop up extras as gifts or for trades.)

AJ Masthay presents "Peaking," a beautiful interpretation of the classic Grateful Dead Skull and Roses motif. This print will drop with the others on the site at 9 AM Pacific and in an effort to give everyone a fair shot at walking away with a print, we also ask that no more than one print per household gets scooped up prior to midnight.

PNE 27 Club Mini Prints

In 2009, the artist collective known as POST NEO EXPLOSIONISM (Jermaine Rogers, Emek, & Justin Hampton) released a striking collaborative silk-screened art print: 'The 27 Club'. The image has become a defining tribute to the pantheon of rock-and-roll's legends who fell victim to their 27th year. Musicians featured in this classic image include Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Brian Jones, and Robert Johnson.

Now, a decade later, PNE has released the '27 Club' Decade Edition introducing two additional members: Amy Winehouse + Ron 'Pigpen' McKernan. The full sized Decade Edition prints instantly sold out over at Collectionzz, and they are now pleased to offer the mini-print versions at Neon Eye. This where the 27 Club posters and mini's were printed and where the prints are currently housed, meaning these will ship immediately.

Emek Patti Smith Horses Amsterdam Posters Release

These 2 posters by Emek were for 2 shows in Amsterdam where Patti Smith performed her landmark, debut album “Horses” live in its entirety. Horses, released 43 years ago, has since been viewed by critics as one of the greatest and most influential albums in the history of the American punk rock movement, as well as one of the greatest albums of all time. Horses has also been cited as a key influence on a number of succeeding post-punk, and alternative rock acts, including Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Smiths, R.E.M, and PJ Harvey. Following its release, Horses cemented Smith’s reputation as one of the biggest names of the New York punk rock scene, alongside contemporary acts such as the Ramones, Blondie and Talking Heads, and it has since been cited as the first significant punk rock album.

"Barbed Wire Horse" (vertical 18” x 24”)

Pearl Jam Roma Print By Emek Release

Emek did the poster for the Pearl Jam show in Roma/Rome.

Here is what the back says.

Many skeletons of eternally embracing couples have been discovered throughout the Roman Empire. I liked playing with the classic themes of mythology and history. Vulcan was an important god in the founding of Rome. He also built the first automatons (one of history's first robots!) It was a Roman couple that was originally discovered buried in an eternal embrace. What if these forbidden lovers, sharing one heart, buried under years of bloody civilization and restoration, were escaping from Vulcan? Because like... Ancient Aliens. -Emek

Poster comes Signed, Numbered, Embossed and Doodled
Size: 18 x 24
Edition of 100
Price: $150

Nine Inch Nails Las Vegas Print By Emek Release

Details from Emek on his new poster for NIN in Las Vegas.

I titled this image “head like a hole” but really it’s an amalgam of many nine inch nails lyrics. The skeleton represents what’s inside all of us... what’s underneath the surface... our mortality, our frailty, our uncomfortable nakedness... it represents a man or woman or any gender, any race... we are here and then we’re gone... back into the dust.
Beneath a galactic “downward spiral”, standing on the precipice of the Nine Inch Nails logo. The Skeleton, without a heart, begins its journey before the imposing and ancient Ozymandias of a crumbling multi-armed deity; a Kafka-esque creation by the skeleton’s own mind? Is the quest for the heart of purpose beginning or ending? Is the heart long since fossilized or is it just protected in armor and can no longer be suppressed? Is it all just a fever dream of NIN lyrical inspiration? Or is Emek just losing his mind again? Will you bow down before the one you serve?…..Head like a Hole.
... also a little Las Vegas skyline is in the background of the dark desert wasteland.-emek

Size: 18 x 24.75
Signed, Numbered, Embossed and Doodled
Artist Edition of 150
(slight color difference than the show edition sold at the concert)
