we're just putting the finishing touches to a new series of editions based on his slogan themes. You've probably
seen a few of these as huge wall pieces at various sites around Sheffield. We've also been busy printing work for recent shows in Munich and Paris. Pictured above is a print for

December
'09: Silver & Black - A Group Show of Exclusive Screenprints Build / Cat Johnston / The Designers Republic / Dust / Emily Forgot /
Ian Stevenson / Kid Acne / Kiosk / Martin Bedford / Phlegm / Robin Beck / She One / Susie Wright / Sylvia Ugga / TADO / Tokyo
Jo / Tom J. Newell / T-Rex Following on from
the Halloween shenanigans of blood oaths, skulls and smashing pumpkins (literally of course; we played strictly black metal,
not Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness) Archipelago are proud to present Silver & Black - the third in a series of
exhibitions curated by Sheffield artist and all round good egg, Kid Acne. This unique group show unites some of the UK's most prestigious designers, illustrators and graphic
artists alongside the rising talents from South Yorkshire to Shoreditch. Each individual has been given complete free reign, the only guideline was to produce a piece of work using
just Silver & Black. Some have used the silver to represent Sheffield's "knife and fork town" heritage,
some have interpreted it as a shiny vision of the future. Others more abstract and some just plain dumb! Whatever their choice, the result is an incredibly striking show of metallic
editions incorporating a diverse range of typography, illustrations and graphic design - All of which have been printed in
house by resident screen printer and BMX wizard, Josh Bedford.
