DECK THE WALLS! THE BEST ART TO BUY THIS CHRISTMAS!
We’ve been lucky enough to be featured in The Times with a couple of our amazing artists!
Kate Gibb has worked as a printmaker & illustrator for over fifteen years. A silkscreen obsessive, her early studies in textiles fuelled her love for colour & pattern which still provides the basis for the majority of her work.
The kind of printing she is inspired by is drawn from her continual exploration of the silkscreen process & the random hiccups and happy accidents that happen within this.
Commercially she is renowned for her Music related sleeve artworks, most notably for her long standing relationship with ‘The Chemical Brothers’.

Aleesha is a 23 year old Illustrator and Printmaker from London, whose works manage to carefully tread the line between being whimsical and being highly emotionally evocative. A graduate of the Cambridge School of Art, Aleesha’s work manages to capture the spirit of several cultural phenomena, be they from home or abroad, and also manages to spark fun and life into objects that are otherwise considered mundane. She has been printing with Print Club since March 2016, following a period of Illustrating for Noodoll. She continues to create works for companies on a freelance basis, and her work has also been featured in recent editions of OFFLIFE and Little White Lies magazines.

Today World Earth Day, will be celebrating their 46th anniversary. Here at Print Club London we wanted to highlight this achievement and their journey so far. The very first Earth Day began in 1970 and is widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement we know today.
They are setting out on an ambitions goal of planting 7.8 billion trees before their 50th anniversary, and they are starting now!
‘Earth Day Network’s mission is to broaden and diversify the environmental movement worldwide and to mobilise it as the most effective vehicle to build a healthy, sustainable environment, address climate change, and protect the Earth for future generations.’
Anthony Burrill has just launched his new website, A.B. Archive, dedicated to his lifetime collection of printed ephemera. This inspiration source may come as no surprise since he is well known for his typographic, text-based compositions in his silk screen prints.
By definition, ephemera are objects that when they were produced, were not intended to last a long time or were specially produced for one occasion. This makes Anthony’s collection all the more amazing and shows the time that has gone into creating such an archive.
The site includes everything from stencils, postal labels, receipts and car tax certificate. It documents a wide range of his inspiration from his early days as an artist.
You can see Anthony Burrill’s persuasive, up-beat limited edition screen prints here.
Our *BRAND NEW* Printern, Aleesha Nandhra!
We are super excited to announce that we have finally selected a new Printern! We had many applicants and it was a VERY hard decision to make and could only pick one! Aleesha has now joined our team for 2 months where she will be creating exclusive work for Print Club London and we can’t wait!
Her illustrations take insipiration from her travels and her sketchbooks are always on her to doodle when inspiration springs! Her fun and detailed illustrations will translate well as screen prints and we can’t wait to see them unfold.
Here’s what Aleesha has been up to in her first week here at Print Club!
“I graduated from my Illustration BA at The Cambridge School of Art (Anglia Ruskin University) in 2014, and since have done some teaching, and worked as an in-house Illustrator.
While looking for my next creative experience, and working on my first foray into the world of freelancing, I came across the advertisement for the Print-ern-ship, and decided to submit some of my work. A few weeks of waiting and a meeting later, I found out that I had been successful.
I have screen printed previously, but it’s been a couple of years since I have even set foot in a print room, so this is going to be a very educational and fun experience.
I moved into my desk space in Millers Junction, and got stuck in!
I was introduced to the Print Studio by Rose Electra Harris, who has just completed her very own Printernship and now works as a studio technician (she makes lovely artwork too!). I learnt about the day-to-day running of the studio, as well as having a go at printing something. The result being a small two colour image of a soy sauce fish bottle.”
We were super proud this week to be named by Cherie Lee Interiors as one of their top 5 ‘Go to’ online galleries and we couldn’t be more pleased!
We love bringing affordable art into people’s homes so it is always great to be recognised for this by others as well.
“Finding those finishing touches for your home can be difficult and time consuming. Print club London is a unique concept giving a platform for freelance artists and designers to sell and showcase their work. More than that, they are a studio for freelancers to work in and access the equipment required to produce their creations too. As a result, there is a huge range of prints from well known brands like HAM, to more urban, upcoming artists.”
“We used the Donk “B Brave” print in a teenage girls bedroom recently and it looked fantastic whilst giving an inspirational message. We are also fans of the humorous takes on traditional British foods from Claudia Borfiga. Quirky and affordable kitchen art can be tricky to come by and these fit the bill perfectly!”
Donk will be releasing a new Be Brave print soon so keep your eyes peeled on our Instagram and Twitter accounts!
Discover the perfect print for your home by browsing our range of over 1,000 limited edition screen prints in our online gallery here.
Thanks so much to Cherie Lee Interiors for the recognition; we also love the styling they used for the Claudia Borfiga print!
It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Print Club London’s new artist, Caroline Tomlinson. Since graduating from her MA at Central St. Martin’s, Caroline has worked as an illustrator for clients all over the world. She exhibits internationally, and this Summer her work will be on show as part of the Secret 7” showcase.
Currently residing in ‘beautiful Cape Town’ Caroline is due to visit the studio during the Summer months, and we already can’t wait.
Caroline has been working closely with Print Club over the last month and has recently launched 2 brand new, limited edition screen prints which are now available from our online gallery. With more prints on the bed soon to be making their way to us, keep your eyes on our Instagram and Twitter feeds for updates and new print editions as and when they happen!!
Caroline Tomlinson – Kate the Great – Kate Moss Screen Print – Print Club London
KATE THE GREAT
“I wanted to paint the most famous face of fashion – and for me there is no one more fashion and famous than Kate Moss. Love her or hate her, she is a face that will be forever linked to fashion in the 21st Century. Kate Moss is the first in a series I am working on of icons in fashion. She also marked the start of my return to silkscreen printing. It was wonderful to create my painted marks and see them translate and change every so slightly on the silkscreen. Kate the Great is a limited edition screen print, edition of 50 at £65.
Moss is also the start of my exploration into celebrity. An area explored and made famous by print maker and Pop Artist – Andy Warhol. It is a movement that I have always had a huge interest in. Warhol’s words “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes” have never rang more true. Fame has always been a commodity many are hungry for. And in todays culture of endless selfies and reality tv shows everyone seems to want their face to be captured and known – and for some at any cost. However, few truly deserve the accolade of being iconic.
Caroline Tomlinson – Lips – Georgia May Jagger – Screen Print – Print Club London
LIPS
Perhaps the most famous lips in fashion?
Another step in my exploration into capturing fashion icons and in the same way as Kate Moss, Jagger is another iconic British female. I begun experimenting with what can be removed from an identity whilst remaining recognisable. Moving forward I would like to take this down a more abstract route in my print making. This is something I am starting to explore and work with in my studio. Lips gave me an opportunity to translate my watercolour marks onto screens and explore the challenges and all the happy accidents that came with that.
A great deal of my recent work is monochrome, or simply one extra colour. But with Lips – the colour felt all the more important. As I wanted to mix the perfect red for this series, after all the perfect red lipstick has also become a style icon in itself. Every fashionista knows a swish of the perfect red takes you from the everyday to extraordinary in an instant.
Hattie Stewart, the self-styled ‘professional doodler’ has just released her first book ‘Living With: Hattie Stewart’.
The brand new all singing, all dancing publication comes equipped with prints that you can tear out and decorate your humble abode with!!
Hattie describes the book as a way of “Putting down all the different ideas, motifs and patterns that had been swirling around in my mind onto paper.”
The 32 pieces of artwork included in the book feature her trademark style of fun, striking and colourful illustrations which are rich with humour and dark touches.
The book is available from Amazon, and you can purchase your own limited edition, signed and embossed screen print by Hattie Stewart online here!
Bat Country Collective and friends bring a range of imaginative responses to the theme ‘When Hell Breaks Loose’ with new series of prints and illustrated objects. The London and Stockholm based illustration group share a love of dark humour that they use here to investigate forces brewing beneath the surface of everyday life.
Print Club London artist Ashley Amery is part of the collective and will be exhibiting this Thursday with East London creative studio Jaguar Shoes Collective at the Old Shoreditch Station. To coincide with the event, Print Club are the first to launch Ashley’s new limited edition screen prints which are now available from our online gallery HERE!!
Ashley Amery is a London-based artist and illustrator. Drawing forms the basis of her practice, which she uses across a range of media from printmaking to gouache paintings, to digital design and lettering. She is interested in the aesthetic of craft, story-telling, and domesticity, elements she uses to expose the strangeness of familiar things. She earned her MA in Book Arts from Camberwell College of Art.
“JAGUARSHOES believe that making something, makes you happy… We create beautiful and unique exhibitions, events, publications… within a constantly evolving, world renowned venue where people who share that belief can relax and have a great time in good company.
The arts organisation was born out of much celebrated Shoreditch bar and exhibition space: DreamBagsJaguarShoes™ in London in 2002.”
OPENING NIGHT THIS THURSDAY 17TH MARCH // OLD SHOREDITCH STATION 6PM – 8PM
The exhibition will run until 18th April.
To coincide with International Women’s Day the ad agency BBH London hosted ‘She Lights Up The Night’ in aid of Refuge at the Protein Studios last weekend.
The London Creative Agency brought together 10 contemporary graphic artists, including Print Club London favourites Anthony Burrill and Hattie Stewart.
Other artists included Lakwena Maciver, Supermundane, Camille Walala, Ana Montiel, Charlie Patterson, David Shillinglaw, Jordy Van Den Nieuwendijk and Morag Myerscough. Each artist also created a limited edition screen print to be bought at the show for £50 each.
The one-off unique art pieces on display at the exhibition will be auctioned off at 7pm on Thursday 10th March at Christie’s.
The funds raised from the limited edition screen prints sold at the exhibition and auction will go to raise funds for Refuge.
#GiveThemRefuge
International Women’s Day takes place on Tuesday 8th March and the theme for 2016 is Pledge For Parity.
Print Club London is celebrating by highlighting a few of our talented female artists.
‘Everyone – men and women – can pledge to take a concrete step to help achieve gender parity more quickly – whether to help women and girls achieve their ambitions, call for gender-balanced leadership, respect and value difference, develop more inclusive and flexible cultures or root out workplace bias. Each of us can be a leader within our own spheres of influence and commit to take pragmatic action to accelerate gender parity.’
Originally from Singapore, Cassandra Yap is an artist and art director based in London. Her work often explores the juxtaposition between dark and beautiful subjects to create the surreal. Fuelled by her love of pin ups, the female form and an unhealthy obsession with vintage erotica, her photomontage halftone style images are dark, bold and humorous with a kinky edge.
Hattie Stewart is a young London based illustrator. A self – proclaimed ‘professional doodler’ her unique and playful style extends itself through art and fashion. Having worked with designers such as House Of Holland, Marc By Marc Jacobs and Adidas, she has also exhibited in Miami, L.A, Bangkok, New York, Berlin and London. Most recently her notoriety has increased due to a project aptly titled ‘Doodle-Bombing’ where she draws over the covers of influential fashion publications such as Vogue and i:D.
Bonnie and Clyde is an artist and printmaker who uses photography, paint, collage and print to construct graphic mixed media pieces. These deeply personal creations are born of a fascination with street photography, psychogeography, people and signage – and draw inspiration from her loves in life including music, film, typography and architecture.
Kate Gibb has worked as a printmaker & illustrator for over fifteen years. A silkscreen obsessive, her early studies in textiles fuelled her love for colour & pattern which still provides the basis for the majority of her work. The kind of printing she is inspired by is drawn from her continual exploration of the silkscreen process & the random hiccups and happy accidents that happen within this. Commercially she is renowned for her Music related sleeve artworks, most notably for her long standing relationship with ‘The Chemical Brothers’.
The ‘Hung up, Ripped off’ private view by David Shand is on tonight from 6.30pm, Friday 4 March.
‘Bill Hicks famously encouraged everyone who worked in marketing and advertising to kill themselves. Reading adverts and posters on a busy train or billboard I’ve often agreed with him. But as these adverts decay and rip I find something very pleasing, both in the imagery and how they lose meaning and gain new ones. This is the inspiration for my work.’
You can see David’s distinctive paste ups adorning the streets around Finsbury Park and Stroud Green now.
The exhibition will run Tuesday – Saturday, 11am – 6pm until the 2nd April at Atom Gallery 77 Stroud Green Road London N4 3EG.
Dave has worked in advertising for over 30 years, founding St. Luke’s, the world’s first Co-operative ad agency and most recently Karmarama in 2000.
