Since folks are asking, these are the prints that are left from the Leeds Gallery WicDiv show. I just received them this morning when I asked what was left. Note, the Laura cover of the French Faust Act vol 1 is sold out already. Email the gallery directly using the open inquiry on their website. They're super nice and responsive, so send them a note if you're still interacted in purchasing. And yes they ship internationally.

PREVIEW: Leeds artist TONE 'The Eden Diaries'

From the 14th of August till the 15th of September, Leeds' own street artist/sign painter TONE, is taking over the gallery at the Munro House for his first ever solo gallery show! Here he will be showing off his comic book styled series 'The Eden Diaries'. 

Full of bright prints and skateboard sign painting, TONE successfully sets the tone (see what I did there!) with his neon inspired artwork. The series is only available for a month at the Munro, so head down quick and see for yourself before the 15th of September!

Leeds city centre in the 1950s was a place that had to be closed down and abandoned some afternoons due to the severity of the smog from surrounding factories - the air was simply too thick with dirt to safely breathe - and the obscure neon glow of a restaurant sign dimmed by industrial murk is as valid an image of neon’s heyday as the clear, clean air of a desert drive-in movie. Those signs, mounted on poles under endless American skies, will be the ones that make it into the advertising history books; but in Leeds we interpreted our advertisers’ neon messages through a cloud of grit.
