New

superflake — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 14:31:28 +0000

Regulars will know we can’t bear to throw stuff out but recently we have been sick and tired of the amount toppling piles of catalogues and magazines that surround us. As a concession to squeezing a little bit more out of them before dumping them we will be presenting these (irregualr) collections of collages, lazily stuck together with images ripped from a bunch of magazines and catalogues before they hit the recycle bin. See issue 1 here now

Doodlers Anonymous

Those crazy kids at Doodlers Anonymous are running a comp to deface magazine ads. Viewers of Shrapnel 7 will know we’re partial to drawing over just abut any piece of spare printed stuff around ourselves. Check out the comp and puruse the excellent Doodle site here

Sorry

Our slackest period ever. I’m sorry – snowed under (at last!) with paying work and trying to push the subbaculture site forwards. We have new stuff coming I promise.

Shrapnel 7 plus Something New

superflake — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 17:19:46 +0000

Issue 7 of Shrapnel is up here for your enjoyment. Regular viewers will be well aware of our struggle in throwing away any kind of printed magazines and catalogues but if we must, we’ve decided to squeeze a bit more life out of them by drawing all over them instead of in notebooks. We also have a new project on the way, again designed to soothe the mind and get a bit more use of everything we throw out. The new project should be ready soon, sneak preview here…

Unlucky for some…Hoarder 13

superflake — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:12:07 +0000

Available now Hoarder 13 is the second instalment of our swing tag collection. We’ve been cash strapped this year so we’ve not bought too much but that hasn’t stopped us snaffling some fine examples of these humble little tags from friends and families.

Enjoy Hoarder 13 here.

Issues 12 and 11 WILL hit over the holidays OR at the very start of the new year – promise. Happy Christmas !

Situation-ism

Check out this great story on a row between californian based art collective PointBlank! and Jamie Reid over the iconic ‘Nowhere’ buses graphic Reid plastered amongst the other great visuals he produced for the suburban press and the sex pistols. Full story here on the very, very excellent Paul Gorman is…site

Hoarder 10…soon!

superflake — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 09:20:06 +0000

Currently in the final stages of completion is issue 10 of Hoarder – dedicated to a box of old Motorsports magazines I collected a couple of years back for a work project. Mainly picked up from local car boots, I’m not a motorsports nut or anything just love old magazines (but you must have gathered that already). Hopefully we’ll be posting it up online next week. Hoarder 11 is also on the way, a collection of fashion trend books.

Apologies for the slackness in posting here – work has at last been busy and we’ve been working hard on our other site on subcultures. Don’t forget to check that out here.
