Proposal for the 28th annual London anarchist bookfair:
STICK 'EM UP
Not just any bookfair stall heaving with insurgent literature - this stuff
you can GLUE TO THE WALLS. the stick 'em up stall will be resplendent with a host of rizographed posters to dazzle the crowds with their pleasurable designs and rousing slogans. we'll be giving them away for free/donation along with your very own starter bag of wallpaper paste and how-to instructions.
The design of the posters exhibited by stick 'em up is fully participatory
- all doodlers, sloganeers and photoshoppers who would like their work emblazoned across the nation's bus stops, abandoned buildings and electricity boxes are welcome to send their poster designs to us, as jpegs, prior to the event, along with a donation for the small sum it'll take to rizograph the image -
that is, £1 for the initial plate and then 4p per
A3 copy and 70p for the paper - by 4th October.( If you can't afford it send us your designs anyway we will try to fund as many as possible our selves). We hope to print in editions of 50 or 100.
Please note that the rizograph does not print grey or midtones so all designs should be high contrast, black on white. We ask for all designs to be one colour but the rizograph can print in black, red, blue or green so let us know which one colour you would like if you have a preference.
DISCLAIMER: please note that the stick 'em up stall is a theoretical exercise only, providing literature purely for personal instruction and private adornment. we condemn all and any defacement to council or private property, and advise that you stay indoors in the evenings and get a good night's sleep.
Designs should be emailed to stickemupeverywhere@gmail.com. Donations for print costs can be posted to Stick ‘em up, 52 Wiverton Rd, Nottingham NG7 6NT with cheques made payable to ‘the last chance saloon’.
