Wishing a Positive and Surprising 2010 to all.......

Indonesian webzine Whiteboard Journal has recently published an interview with Will Sweeney, discussing his career, influences and some strange far eastern culinary experiences.. Take a look here.

Available in our shoppe from this coming weekend we will have 2 brand new prints by Will Sweeney. These were produced for his recent Runston's Winklepickers show in Tokyo and have been on sale in Japan at honeyee.com over the last week where most have been snapped up already.

We've allocated only 9 of each print for our site so act quick if you don't want to miss out... The prints are high quality 5 colour hand silkscreened in an edition of 20 each.
They depict 2 different visions of a future Rastapopolis..a dense, overpopulated city, inhabited by various vegetables, fruits, owls and labradors.

They will be available to order here from 13/11/09.

See below for images.

After the opening there will be a FREE party at the fantastic Social club where many of these arty types will be DJing including our own Will Sweeney & Susumu Mukai aka Kaptain ZONGAMIN. BZORP!!

The Runston's show was a great success - with a massive turnout on the opening night in Harajuku. The psychic portraits proved hugely popular, with many people showing off their auras for our perusal, photo's of the results coming soon.

In the meantime, here are some snaps of the show itself, including new original drawings, 2 new deluxe silkscreen prints (available very soon in our shoppe) and the launch of the brand new Fabrick Tales From Greenfuzz range; bags, fanny packs, wallets and babywear!

The show is open until this Sunday (25th) so if you are in the area please have a look.
