Things have been a bit quiet at Prescription Art lately, but i'm busy sorting out some pieces by some awesome new artists. The rest of the crew have been hard at work though, so thought i'd just share some pictures of the fruits of their efforts:
Gaia
I have very few Earth Girl prints left, so get in quick if you'd like one. Gaia's being picked up for shows by every major gallery.
Dain goes large
Galo continues to be a massive legend, and has been rocking Thailand ready for his prints with Souled Out Studios. He's also got a new website so check it out!
Bortusk Leer is just back from New York, where he's been spreading monstrous love to the five boroughs.
Described on flickr as 'the greatest thing ever done by anyone, ever. anywhere'!!
Shuby continues to dance around London
and Damon Ginandes remains the most underappreciated man in street art. His time will come... !

South London’s ZEUS has been painting for more than 25 years, and once taught Prince Charles the ways of the spray can. A man of a thousand ideas, he has recently branched into 3-D sculpture work, with projects including furniture, fish tanks and lighting…. developing his wildstyle lettering into exciting new avenues.
At the Open Studio event in Shoreditch before Christmas, visitors were able to watch ZEUS develop his ‘RUN’ painting into an incredibly detailed stencil, designed to bring the original cityscape to the city’s streets. The result of this painstaking work is now available exclusively from Prescription Art as a ‘run’ of 45 large spraypainted pieces, costing £250.
Painted in white on black photographic paper, the city is transformed into a night scene, with dizzying perspective pulling you into the streets below.
For those who weren’t able to watch the development of the piece, some photos will help show the work that went into it... from original painting to pencil sketch to stencil.
(thanks to WallKandy for the photos)
But that's not all! Prescription Art is also thrilled to have available the first print by CHARMING BAKER, whose wonky takes on life have delighted all who've seen them since he graduated from Central St Martins. DUCK, TEDDY, DUCK is a Giclee Print on thick 330gsm paper - and limited to only 100 copies. It marks the beginning of what's sure to be an exciting 2008 for Mr Baker, with a V&A commission and a ModArt feature already lined up, and Hollywood casting him 'come hither' glances.
Interested? Click here from midday.

Here is a sneak preview of 'Run' - the new piece from Zeus available this Friday. Anyone who saw him at work at the 'Open Studio' event before Christmas will have been astounded by the size & intricacy of the stencil. The finished article is a huge spray-painted edition of 45, in white paint on black paper.

DAIN on the streets of London
08 January 2008
To say they've been long awaited is an understatement, but DAIN's first screenprint with Prescription Art has finally made its way across teh Atlantic. Lord alone knows what Parcel Farce have been doing with them for the past month, but there s no sign that they were at all involved in their Christmas warehouse 5-a-side tournament, nor used as a ramp for fork-lift truck jumping.
Although no longer of use as Christmas presents, they are however available in time for that other great shopping rush..... the special time in between the January sales and when you get paid.
TV Boy is a run of 50 prints hand pulled by DAIN himself in his Brooklyn lair, and each one is unique.

It may be cold outside, but your hearts will soon be warmed by the sight of our first ever screenprint! It’s a mind-bending Escheresque colony of ‘Creators’ , the character that Italian artist Galo has spent much of the last 10 years bringing to the world’s streets (and living rooms). Some are angry, some are confused. Some delirious. Most are very very stoned.
The print is a thing of beauty of which we are most proud. Thick is the key word here. Thick paper. A thick undercoat of white paint. Thick, glossy trails of paint bringing Galo’s unstoppable pen strokes to life.
100 copies are available in the original (thick) black ink. 3 other colours (red, blue and green) are also available in small editions of 10.
4 original canvases are also available to buy.

For more words:
A Universe of Confused Creatures
Galo is a blighted being. He is a creature beyond convention; a dolphin with a turtle’s shell. If he cried who would be able to soothe his moans?
A night out with Galo and there are no tears or turtle shells. You sort of have to catch the fin as he swims past, and ride his trip for as long as your body will let you. Galo is a whirlwind.
Aerosol, acrylic or good old Posca pens, give the boy some space and he’ll speak to it; wrap it in colours, offer up his universe and get lost as layer covers layer and history becomes a question of folklore and ink. Galo is art in action and the universe of his creatures is ever evolving, inking its own reflection on the emotions of civil decay.
For over a decade the Italian born artist has been keeping it real, exploring the planet, doing street shows, performances, workshops and exhibitions, while developing the chapters of his autobiography on the walls of the streets where he lives and lounges.
Calamity makes cousins of us all. Unfortunately, short term memory loss is a syndrome with global sightings and history is written by those who pay for the ink.
Galo’s creatures are sad, angry, curious and confused. They are familiar, devastated and unable to articulate the chaos of communications swarming around them. What started with one multiplied into many, and became an entire civilization of creatures staring ahead as if watching TV’s turn issues into angles and stories.
His creatures have the range of human emotions + 1; the one where the viewer must seek new words to illustrate the unsaid. Galo is fast and unspoken, a true gentleman taking on the world like a cowboy dolphin. He has a reputation for throwing up faster, more frequently and with a joyful fury that few other artists can claim.
Galo is a blighted being. He is a giver in a world of take. He is considered a consumer in a world where he wants to be first a citizen. He is an artist in a world of designers. He is an Italian living in Amsterdam (with Dutch food). He is an addict and needs no treatment.
