Artist Notes:
This is the first edition Black Light Electric Voodoo Fire is an 18" x 24" --10 color Black light screen print done in a street style painting technique on 130lb French Paper. This is limited small edition of 115 prints. It is a portrait of Jimi Hendrix from a sketch I did after being inspired by all the street art in the narrow alleys in Amsterdam . The piece was originally conceived as a painting. After completing the painting, I decided to do a small run of prints for my collectors. The first run done in non-black light Golden Acrylics sold
out in a matter of hours upon release.

I originally intended to do the piece as a "true black light" poster using fluorescent inks. "True black light" meaning a poster that is designed to look good under a black light as opposed to just a print with some fluorescent ink thrown in random places. All the ink was hand mixed using fluorescent pigments. The paper is loaded with optical brightener making it glow purple.This image comes alive under a black light!

The original image was painted using brushes, stencils and spray paint. Each color was hand painted separately on paper and then made into a film positive for screen printing. It was screen printed using hand mixed fluorescent inks resulting in extremely rich vibrant colors that literally vibrate off the page. I think I may be doing a series of black light posters. I wanted to do it years ago, but never got inspired. This print may have just done the trick.

The Faded Line launches Jim Flora apparel

View
Jim Flora Official Merchandise

Jim Flora (1914-1998) is renowned for his wild jazz and classical album covers for Columbia Records (1940s) and RCA Victor (1950s). He wrote and illustrated 17 popular children's books and flourished for decades as a magazine illustrator. Few realize, however, that Flora was also a prolific fine artist with a devilish sense of humor and a flair for juxtaposing playfulness, absurdity and mayhem.

His album covers pulsed with angular hepcats bearing funnel-tapered noses and shark-fin chins, guys who fingered cockeyed pianos and honked lollipop-hued horns. Flora wreaked havoc with the laws of physics, conjuring flying musicians, levitating instruments, and wobbly dimensional perspectives. He was not averse to pigmenting jazz legends like bedspread patterns. On some Flora figures, three legs and five arms were standard equipment, with spare eyeballs optional.

Flora has posthumously added The Faded Line Clothing Co. to his client roster: his estate, Jim Flora Art LLC, has authorized us to feature vintage Flora figures on a festive line of casual apparel. Flora once said that all he wanted to do was "create a little piece of excitement." He overshot his goal with much of his work. You will soon be able to wear that visual excitement.

A selection of Flora LP covers was published in The Mischievous Art of Jim Flora (Fantagraphics, 2004). A second book, The Curiously Sinister Art of Jim Flora (2007), features dozens of Flora's rarely seen early paintings, woodcuts, prints, sketches, and commercial assignments. See more Flora works online at JimFlora.com and JimFloraArt.com.

Emek's Pheel Phree Magnets are now online!

Many Phish fans say their overall favorite Phish poster was done by Emek in 1995 for the show at CSU Convocation Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Considering the band's long history of highly collectable posters, that's a big compliment to Emek.

The Faded Line Clothing Co. is now offering a collectible thick-cut lucite magnet of Emek's "Pheel Phree" artwork. Measures approximately 2.25 x 3 inches.

Buy it from The Faded Line Clothing Co. here.

Our newest addition to the Faded Line - Jim Flora Art

Jim Flora's art has appeared on record album covers, in magazines, in children's books, and on fine art prints. Soon it will appear on Faded Line apparel. We recently signed with Jim Flora Art LLC (heirs of the artist) to market a very cool line of t-shirts and hoodies featuring Flora's mischievous and curiously sinister art.

Designs are now in development. Lots of cool stuff to come!

We're in production with the Cybercycle Gelaskins for iPods. There have been a couple delays and took WAY longer than we had expected, but they ARE signed and in production. Hopefully I'll have finished product within two weeks.

Also in production with a lycra magnet of Emek's Pheel Phree poster which was used on a SUPER collectable poster for Phish in 1995. They look great and should also be available around the same time as the skins.
