He Likes To Read Books Written For Girls
Books Written For Girls, what a softly brutal song by Camera Obscura.
So! Independent Record Store Day is quite a great little way to help support your local indepents. This print is part of a print exchange and show in conjunction with Independent Record Store Day on Saturday April 18, 2009. This particular print show will be up for viewing at 3 different indie record stores around the country: Signed & Numbered/Slowtrain Records in Salt Lake City, Size Records in Oklahoma City AND 52.5 Records in Charleston, SC. (Feel free to check out my blog with helpful links!)
The theme for the show was to take a song lyric from a favorite band and translate that into a print for the show. I chose Camera Obscura's "Books Written For Girls", which is just a sweetly sad and devastating song, here combined with text from a classic book written for girls rife with odd gender roles and unfair treatment of one's loves. Or so I think. And here they are, just about to have a heart or two broken.
This little scene is a 3-color, all hand screen printed art print with soft transparent periwinkle, bright love red, and black hand mixed and non-toxic water based inks.
