Went to see the Marley film yesterday afternoon down at the Ritzy, sounded long at 2 and a half hours but never feel it…gripped all the way through, beautifully filmed, early life I didn’t know too much about, and Bunny Wailer always fascinating (his Blackheart man album is essential!). Loved this Wailers tune the most in the film…

Here’s some old drawings i did when I was 19 of Bob, Bunny and Peter. I’ve been thinking of a new Bob portrait as it goes but currently working on Stevie Wonder and Pharoah Sanders designs…nearly ready so coming soon…

Print exercise

Heres an exercise i set myself in font, colour and print registration, just because. Gabor Szabo’s ‘Gypsy woman’ inspired Santana’s ‘Black magic woman’. I looove me some early 70′s Santana!…albums like Borboletta, Caravansai and Welcome, the jazz-fusion years, very cool.

I opened a facebook account the other day while resting up after crashing my bike and hitting my head, maybe thats why? Anyway, be cool if you dropped by and ‘like’ it and help spread the word… http://www.facebook.com/julesmannart

Font

Having a little more fun with font design, kinda based on the Gil one but a touch different and stecilised. Might be used in a new music design…quite cool cut up into three colours too i reckon.

Jules’s got a brand new bag

jule0766 — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 22:44:50 +0000

So i printed these the other day (listening to King Britt -Philladelphia experiment remixed on rotation, quality motivating tunes!)…100% natural cotton tote bags, 38cm (w) x 43cm (h). I’ll add them to the shop tomorrow.

New this week, cotton tote bags i’ve been printing on, I plan to do long handle and coloured bags too…I’ll add them to the gallery as soon as i get a minute, until then they’re available from my stall at Spitalfields market in east London from this Sunday, 11th March…also been designing a new font, working on new music images and…other good stuff.

BANG!
