Scaryoke

A few weeks ago I was asked by Irish advertising agency, The Social House, to create some illustrations for their annual Scaryoke halloween bash.

Bram Stoker Festival 2015

Very excited to be taking part in this show!

GLOW IN THE DARK SCREENPRINT EXHIBITION
FRIDAY OCT 23rd / 7PM / @ GENERATOR HOSTEL, SMITHFIELD SQUARE

‘Join us this Friday Oct 23rd in The Generator Hostel from 7pm as we launch our latest screenprint spectacular – Dancing in the Moonlight in collaboration with the Bram Stoker Festival.

#DancingInTheMoonlight is a celebration of all that is weird and wonderful about Dublin by night, with a super limited run of screenprints illustrated by some of the city’s finest artists.

Featuring exclusive new artwork from Lauren O’ Neill, Aoife Dooley, Peter Donnelly, Donough O’Malley, Niall McCormick, Digital Beast, Colin McGinley, Brian Gallagher and Neil Dunne.  All lovingly hand-printed in sweet A2 designs on heavy-set 300gsm paper.

We’ve music on the night from DJ Flip, Lex Woo and Willo Healy and early birds will nab themselves a free Jameson cocktail!
Each screen print is lovingly done by hand in two colours, limited to just 40 editions, with a cheeky extra layer of glow-in-the-dark ink that only comes out at night. Grab yours for €40 before they’re all gone.

With tributes to Panti Bliss, the Nitelink, Dublin huns and the city skyline by night, we’ve tried to capture all that’s great about this crazy city of ours after dark.
The exhibition will be on show all weekend at the Generator but the print shop will close at 6pm each day. Make sure to drop by and check out all nine pieces of amazing affordable art before they become collectors’ items.’

Tonight I’ll be in a show in Belfast!

Stephen Maurice Graham

Screen prints now on Etsy!

I’m pleased to say that I finally have an Etsy shop selling my limited edition screen prints!

Alongside the remaining few ‘Summer Ride’ prints for Artcrank, I also have the recent limited edition gig posters I did for Mudhoney and The Sonics.

All prints are signed and limited edition, so don’t waste time if you are a cyclist, biker, or a turbo fuelled grunge rock lover. Head over to the site today and snap them up because when these babies are gone, they’re gone.

I drew what you did last Summer

For the past while I’ve been very quiet here, but also very busy working on a few projects, and one of them is a personal project ‘I drew what you did last Summer’. Illustrating scenes from last summer’s scorcher, it originated as just a fun project for myself to do in between regular jobs. This is number six in the series, titled ‘Mr Whippy’ and can be seen on my Behance page along with the previous five. There is more to come, so please stay tuned to see the rest, and hope that we get a few days like this in August.

Communication Arts Award

 

It’s been a few weeks since I posted here, but what better way to get back on that horse with this little beauty I just received.  The Communication Arts illustration annual is just out this week, and everyone who was voted in received this ‘Award of excellence’. I haven’t got my hands on a copy yet to see my piece, ‘Pop-up Restaurant’, but hopefully I’ll see it in the flesh in the next few weeks. To get your hands on a copy, click here.

One week, four shows

Easter is over and with it I’ve found myself in the lucky position of taking part in four exhibitions, in four cities, in one week.
