Thankful for all the support this year. Many thanks and much love to Bianca Valentino, Ben Ely & Regurgitator, Paul Curtis of Valve Records, Nightmare Air, Beatniks Records, Kathleen Hanna, and Grant Wallis (aka Killed By Drone). Below is my favourite piece I did in 2018. Have some cool things coming up in the new year, so am looking forward to 2019!
Been a little while since I posted some of my latest pieces. I tend more to post them over on my instagram (@jhonny_russell). Here’s a few newer ones.
Having collected records for over 20 years, was an honour to do this design for the Gold Coast’s finest record store, Beatniks. There’s t-shirts, stickers and tote bags in the works. And if you are on the GC, make sure you stop by the shop. Run by super lovely and dedicated people who know their stuff.
It’s an honour to have my artwork used by Kathleen Hanna for her Tees4Togo charity project.
There are a bunch of shirts available of different people (like Beastie Boys’ King Ad Rock, Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth, Chuck D from Public Enemy, Grimes, Joan Jett, Carrie Brownstein, etc) and 100% of the profits go to Peace Sisters. Each shirt costs $40, which is how much it costs to send a girl to school in Togo, Africa for one year. Massive thanks to Kathleen for asking me to contribute.
Here’s a taste from the next instalment of my Illegal Music mash up mixes.
A hip hop mix of Dead Kennedys ‘Police Truck’ with beats from an Eastsidaz track.
A compilation of the best bits of the Illegal Music series is available at http://illegal-music.bandcamp.com/
Regurgitator ‘Life Support 2018 Tour’ shirts featuring artwork of mine.
Contributed some art for Glasshouse’s debut EP.
