The touring show of concert posters Flatstock will visit Barcelona for the San Miguel Primavera Sound.

The fair will be complemented by a free exhibition called “Flatstck: The world of Music Posters” form the 15th of May until the 3rd of June in the Virreina Centre de la Imatge, where a selection of 50 works chosen by Flatstock as well as some posters by renowned Catalan artists will be on show. The exhibition will form part of the San Miguel Primavera a la Ciutat activities, an initiative that aims to spread the spirit of the festival to every corner of Barcelona.

Flatstock is a project of API (American Poster Institute) that unites music and the visual art. This non-profit organisation is dedicated to promoting music posters and, since its beginnings in San Francisco a decade ago, has not stopped growing .

The _____ Gallery, Tokyo, Japan

Deep in the heart of the Hirajuku District lies this awesome gallery called “The _____ Gallery“. They just had their grand opening exhibition which features artwork by many great artists, including Clint Wilson. I am humbled and super excited to be a part of this show. Here are some photos of everyone’s work:

Here’s some more info on the show, which is titled “Flat-o-rama”

GWも終わり、THE _____ GALLERY (THE blank GALLERY) の記念すべきオープニングエキシビションも折り返しとなりました。

今回はsection two : FLAT-O-RAMAの模様をお伝えします。こちらに展示してあるのは、海外から集めたシルクスクリーンプリント作品。アートプリントやギグポスターなど、他ではまず見られない珍しい作品が多数展示してあります。一枚一枚手刷りで印刷され、アーティストのサインとナンバーが手書きで記された作品は、やはり機械で大量印刷されたポスターとは風合いも貫禄も違います。日本では馴染みの薄いギグポスターも、その魅力に気づいてしまうと、どっぷりとハマッてしまう危険性大です。

In the Garage

Today, April 20th 2012 Blank Space Gallery opens its doors to the public with a gallery jam-packed with amazing geek culture limited edition prints and artwork created by some of the most amazing artists working in this day and age. I was in love with the idea and was asked to contribute. Seeing how I am a huge nerd and all I was delighted to work up something for it.

For those of you that play video games you might recognize the references in my piece. It is called ”Mog Moog”

KUPO!

In case you are wondering, each knob on the moog represents different characters, systems, RPG elements and other miscellaneous wonders to be found in the realms of Final Fantasy. Here’s a couple of close ups for your nerdy pleasure:

These will be available at the show and later online at Blank Space Gallery’s web site and are limited to 100 prints. There will be a small amount available in the future at Nakatomi. It is a 6 color screenprint on French Speckletone True White paper.

Here is some more info on the show:

In The Garage: Art Celebrating Geek Culture opens Friday at Blank Space Gallery in Connecticut. Inspired by Weezer’s Blue Album staple “In The Garage” which shares a lot of theme’s with The Beach Boy’s “In My Room” is about the places we went as children and young adults where we felt safe, from the Mushroom Kingdom, the Garage Band, to fighting in the Ring against Bald Bull.  It harkens back to a simpler time in our lives when the most pressing issue was getting home from school to save the Princess, or covering three chord punk songs in the basement with friends.  It’s the common shared pasts we’ve all had being  “geeks.” Finding within our own memories the idea that though we might have been playing Nintendo by ourselves, we were hardly alone.

Record Store Day 2012

April 21st is record day and my favorite record store here in Austin, Waterloo Records will be celebrating with a lot of really awesome specials and events. I have been working with Waterloo for a few years now and they are great people to work with. They will have posters designed by me available all day at the store. Garbage will be at the store signing autographs as well.

Cursive

Cursive is one of those bands that continues to make consistently good music. “Domestica” was great, “Ugly Organ” was unbelievably good, “Happy Hollow” did not disappoint, “Mama, I’m Swollen” was even better than the previous album and now I’m amazed by “I am Gemini”. I listen to plenty of bands who have one record that I put into my rotation all the time, but with Cursive every single album they produce makes it into my rotation. That being said, I was honored to get the chance to design a poster to promote their show at the Mohawk in Austin, TX. I made it out to the show and, I must say, they were in top form.

These are available on Nakatomi right now and they only have 20 copies available.

Again, pick them up at NAKATOMI before it’s too late.

Radiohead

Toyota center presented Radiohead at their venue in Houston on March 3 and we were honored to work up a poster to promote the event. If you were lucky enough to nab tickets to one of the shows on this tour you know that it was definitly a light show, they were in top form.

Below is an image of the poster we worked up for this event. These are all sold out a Nakatomi but there will be a handful of them available on POSTER CABARET very soon. Keep your eyes peeled for them.

We also now have both the Starfucker posters and the art print variant available through Nakatomi

Beer and Valentine’s day!

Valentine’s day is a great time to snuggle up with the one you love… …or maybe drink your sorrows away, if it tickles your fancy. Today Nakatomi released two new Clintprint prints, both themed around beer. One a nice stout manly beer for him and another light and summery for her (or vice versa if that’s what you like).

Anyhow, take a visit to Nakatomi and grab one for your hubby:

Also! we had some Valentine’s cards printed up that would like to share. Currently they are not up for sale and most of them went out to friends and frequent customers. They will be available in the future for sure:

Mystery Tube Sale/Take My Stuff

It’s been a while since we have done a mystery tube and this time we really wanted to do something special. We would like to offer all of Clint Wilson’s personal collection as a part of this sale. Each tube will contain at lease 1 print from the prints that I have been collecting over the years and 4 more prints from here at clintprints, that’s 5 total in each tube! These tubes will be up on NAKATOMI today at noon and will be $50.

And now the important part, what kind of prints will be included from this personal collection…well take a look:

Here are a few others that will be included in the sale:

A couple different Fairey pieces, including the HOPE print,  Some Aaron Horkey prints, Brad Klausen Tron Alamo poster, Olly Moss test sheets,  some Jad Fair, Luke Cheuh, Daniel Johnston, several David Flores, Evan B. Harris, Buff Monster, Dalek, Jay Ryan, Kevin Tong, Jon Smith, Dan Grzeca, Anville’s Delorean on Foil, Dave Kinsey, some different Jermaine Rogers prints, Michael Sieben, 2 Cent, etc…

…and that is just a sample!

On Sale info from NAKATOMI:

ON SALE INFO-

These will go up between NOON and 12:30 CST on the Nakatomi site in the CLINT WILSON section of the store tomorrow (as this is being written), Tuesday the 24th.  We will post a direct link here when it goes live, but the fastest way to find out is onTWITTER. (follow us, dummy!)

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW-

-You can order as many tubes as you’d like.  If you order more than 1 though, we might not be able to avoid giving you duplicates.  We will do our best, though.

-You can only order one tube PER order. That means if you want 2, you’d have to go through the system and place a new order. Because we only charge shipping once per order, ($8.99 US, $14.99 Canada, $19.99 World) for posters, that’s what it costs us to ship to you. If you ordered 10 tubes and only paid $8.99 shipping, we’d get hosed. So order as many times as you like, but only one tube per order. Hope that was clear.

Nerdlocker interview with Clint Wilson

I have had the awesome opportunity of being included in a series of interviews with nerdlocker. The interview came out quite nicely if I do say so myself and the guys over there are amazingly nice. Check out the interview here:
