- ABOUT THE PIECE -
September 2011 marks the 20th anniversary of a pretty special album in rock and roll history. Jermaine explains:

'When a young band from Seattle unleashed their second album onto the world, everyone took notice. An entire generation responded to a voice that 'came from you and me.' I remember the first time I heard a track from that record: I was in a used bookstore on a Thursday evening, buying a book about Jack Davis (the EC Artist.) The radio in the store was tuned to Rice University radio (KTRU): they used to play an amazing hardcore show on Thursday evenings. The DJ mentioned that he was about to play a song from the new Nirvana record. I'd heard the band before and liked them, though me and my pals back then felt the cream-of-the-Sub-Pop-crop was Mr. Mark Arm and the mighty Mudhoney. Anyways, the DJ played 'Lounge Act'....& everyone in the store (it was a pretty eccentric clientele) was nodding their heads to the music. I remember a guy who was wearing a Cure shirt asking the guy at the counter, 'Who is that?'. Remember thinking to myself, 'Wow. It's a 'Pop' song!'. I guess I was hooked right there. Eventually, the mainstream media realized that there was a huge segment of the population who preferred an 'alternative'...& they provided a full array of 'also-rans', as they are prone to do.

Sure, no one's saying that Nirvana was responsible for everything that happened post-1991: there were tons of bands and various record labels, scores of little punk-pop records and amazing shows which provided an intricate 'root system' of sorts...for the tree that would soon sprout up and proclaim itself as 'the new sound.' Still, you gotta admit that this band, & in particular the songwriting on that record, cast an intimidating shadow over the world of popular music and set a new standard that few could measure up to...then and now. Not bad for a guy who hated himself and wanted to die.

When Jermaine first released the 'Used' art print back in 2004, it was immediately snatched up by collectors. He originally created the print to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of KC's death. Now, on this 20 year anniversary of the seminal piece of work that most defined him, he wanted to release this variant, sporting a warm color palette different from the cool blues and teals of the regular version. So many people have gone in circles trying to find this print, so he feels it's also a little gift from him to you.'

Remember, both editions become available this Friday at 3pm Eastern at JermaineRogers.com while supplies last.

"We're Still Here" Print and Canvas Release Info by Freed

"We're Still Here" by Freed is a 24" x 18" screen print, with a run of 75. The print is $50 and will be released on Wednesday, September 28 at 3 PM EST at http://freed.bigcartel.com/.

Details from Freed:

We're Still Here is based on a photo I saw of two soldiers spraying a wall in Iraq. We are at the point right now in our country that the economy has gotten so bad, it has consumed nearly everyone. The “Support Our Troops” stickers have faded and the outcry to bring our soldiers home has died to a murmur. The mainstream media has moved on, relaying news only when there is a tragedy in which American lives have been lost. The fact is that over 125.000 troops are still in Iraq and Afghanistan – and the conditions they live with day in and day out are extremely dangerous. These soldiers, and the ongoing sacrifices made not only by the soldiers themselves, but also by their families, should not be forgotten.

Coinciding with the release of the print, a canvas (acrylic and spray paint) edition of 5 will also be released. The canvas edition is 30" x 24" and will be $250.

This will be the last print that will allow for people to join the First Hour Print Club. One becomes a member by simply purchasing a print. Members have already received either a free screen print or an original piece of art – or both. There is still a free screen print coming around Christmas time – this print will be exclusive to members. All prints and originals are offered to members of the First Hour Print Cub prior to the public drop.

The original "I Want To Believe" canvas - featuring a faceless child - will be given away to someone who buys either a print or canvas. The winner will be chosen from the mailing list, so please sign up if you haven't already.

Buy them at http://freed.bigcartel.com/ today

*** Please welcome my newest sponsor RAMP Gallery ***

Please give a warm welcome to the newest sponsor on Inside The Rock Poster Frame, RAMP Gallery. Their website is www.RampGallery.com

I highly/strongly recommend checking out RAMP Gallery's website. They have an enormous amount of original Rock, Alternative, Metal and Punk concert flyers and posters from around 1985 to current. There is a large focus on the Northwest scene, particularly with respect to the flyers. These flyers include a huge selection of late 80's/early 90's Seattle and Portland bands and shows. The site also features many larger format silkscreen posters from a huge roster of artists, and that cover the U.S. and parts of Europe. Virtually the entire collection of flyers came directly from the artists personal collections - I have never seen a collection from this era as large as this (I know a friend of mine who will be jealous when he see's it). The total number of available works is in excess of 5000 pieces. The real treat is the large number of original paste-ups from artists such as Mike King; an amazing Portland-based poster designer, Jeff Kleinsmith of Sub Pop records and Patent Pending, and a few from Jim Blanchard who produced some great flyers (and still does). It is difficult to find most of the art on the site anywhere else (impossible to find some of it), and most of the early flyers and many of the posters really are quite rare, so get 'em now, and please share this site with others, before they become out of reach for most of us (It is interesting that Christie's and Southeby's are rumored to be showing an increased interest in band flyers from the era represented). From Nirvana, Tad, Screaming Trees, Pixies and Poison Idea, to Wolfmother, Modest Mouse, Queens of the Stone Age and Pearl Jam; Move over classic rock posters - a new generation of poster collectors are moving in, and focused on the alternative scene that became so popular beginning in the late 80's.

So head over to www.RampGallery.com and prepare to have your mind blown.

Confidence art print by Italian graffiti artist Peeta

Manuel di Rita aka Peeta is an Italian artist born in a small town near Venice, Italy. In the early 90's he took on the moniker Peeta within the Italian graffiti scene, as his craft evolved, he joined the Paduan EAD crew and became one of the area's most well respected artists.

Confidence is a great example of Peeta's style. The colors create a bold, vibrant image and Peeta's use of shading and shapes creates the illusion of 3-D sculpture occupying a 2-D space. The illusion he creates with paint is something only a master could accomplish. Peeta's work intersects the line of beautiful, fine art, and gritty street influences. The reproduction of "Confidence" explodes on the paper as perfect sample of Peeta's talent.

All prints are Signed & Numbered by the Artist and come with a Certificate of Authenticity from 1xRUN.
