Today’s ART Project – by B&A and Billy

Andrea — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 19:17:14 +0000

Hey again! So, today, the day before the show, Billy is here at Pete and I’s house and we are working on special t-shirts for the event. We have hand dyed them a faded purple and are screening them now. We will be selling these limited edition;) shirts at our release tomorrow for the bargain price of $5!!! So, if you like what you see….come by 618 Fosters Street in Durham during the art walk (from 7pm-10pm) and pick one up. Here’s how they’re looking so far.

A closer look!

Look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

B&A and Billys week of ART… day 3!

Andrea — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 15:29:39 +0000

So, is everyone totally excited yet? Only two more days till the big show .

And we’ve got more art to share. it may even make your Wed. better.

Well, if you love Billy Sugarfix as much as we do, it will.

Like we said, we are making everything by hand for this 7in. split (except the record itself….if we could we would) including the insert artwork that will be inside every jacket. For that insert, Billy has made a special collage. We will be photocopying this original on construction paper to create the inserts for all copies. So, that means you can only see this original work by Billy here on this blog. Can you even handle how cool that is?

collage by Billy Sugarfix for BIRDS and ARROWS/BILLY SUGARFIX’s CAROUSEL 7in. vinyl split. Get yours Fri. evening (7pm-10pm) in Durham at the release show!

Day 2 of B&A and Billy ART week!

Andrea — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 15:44:33 +0000

So, as I’ve mentioned before, us (BIRDS and ARROWS) & BILLY SUGARFIX’s CAROUSEL are releasing our 7in vinyl split this Fri. in Durham and are doing a daily blog this week leading up to the event all about the art we’re making (and trying to sell you). Today’s project is screen printing and sewing the jacket covers for the vinyl. We wanted each cover to be different in some way and look very hand made. So, over the past few months, we have collected old wall paper (from the Scrap Exchange in Durham). Then, recently designed a screen(which we had burned at The Merch in Carrboro).

Each sleeve is printed and sewn together by me, Pete, Billy or our friend Wendy Spitzer. So far, they are turning out great! (shown so well by Pete below)

“Damn it Wendy, work faster!”
