Dan Murphy
Storefront #1
Paper, Plexi, Packing Tape, Foam Core

As I mentioned before, I’m curating an exhibition of eight Philadelphia-based artists who utilize printmaking techniques and self-printed materials, generally thought of as mediums of multiple, and incorporate them into one-of-a-kind works.

Doubting Thomases opens September 10th at Nudashank Gallery in Baltimore, Maryland and will feature works by Micah Danges, Chris Kline, Matt Leines, Isaac Tin Wei Lin, Bill McRight, Dan Murphy, Andrew Jeffrey Wright and myself.

Raspberry #3

Raspberry_01
British ‘zine Raspberry is pretty much the best publication I have seen in a long, long time. Focusing on idiosyncratic on-the-street painting, from civilian graffiti to weird murals to bizarre signage, this book is beautifully on-point. Issue #3 is full color, in an edition of 50, with photographs from Dan Murphy, Stefan Fitzgerald, The ERS, Jack Bechtler and myself. I think you can grab a copy from Chapter One in London, other than that, good luck, it’s worth the hunt.
EDIT: It looks like aNYthing has copies. 51 Hester Street.

New Issue of Stuck On The Map

Dan Murphy generously hooked us up with the new issue of Stuck On The Map. This volume is super thick with various colored paper stocks and the cover is, get this, xerox over four colored stickers stuck on a white glossy cover stock. So good. Dan has been an inspiration for a long time, and I’m so happy to live in Philadelphia because otherwise I would have no idea how to get his zines. (UPDATE: Dan has copies for sale HERE.) And just like the Stuck On The Map book, the more I leaf through this, the more I see.
