With a heritage steeped in a volatile history or unions, struggles and movements, Prefab 77 is recognisable for being political, sometimes anti-establishment- yet always beautiful.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Calibri"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Prefab 77, by their own admission, aren’t interested in being named individually, but this much they can share. There are 3 of them in the collective, all from Newcastle Upon Tyne, one who spent 10 years working in LA and New York, and they have worked as a collective for the last 7 years.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Calibri; min-height: 14.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Calibri"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">The trio work closely together on more than just Prefab77, dividing their time between running a design studio, and their own creative shop come gallery, constantly dreaming up the next Prefab77 screen print idea or waiting to get inspired. Even if its just scribbling or generating ideas the guys are always working on Prefab 77, generally producing around 4 brand new prints a year, alongside one off pieces on steel, wood, canvas, whatever they can get their hands on.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Calibri; min-height: 14.0px"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Calibri"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">They site such inspiration as coming from far and wide, with a fondness for all things relating to England and its staunch heritage. Combine this with a dose of 70’s music memorabilia in the shape of vintage NME magazines and you have their anarchic, bold style, which has become their calling card.</span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Calibri"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Calibri"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">If you'd like to see more examples of Prefab work then click </span><a href="http://www.prefab77.co.uk/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">here</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> to view their portfolio of highly impressive work. </span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Calibri"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Calibri"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></p>Ben Steers Illustrateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08148095931116391167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446733275851051511.post-66368686799919618942011-10-28T14:27:00.003+01:002011-10-28T14:30:21.954+01:00Bristol in the mist<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_S-JJvO73FSPIW8x6ERzvMXRuhxZMHaOnFxZUGHdhdNgquCiN2PzbL62PqkKPWply932cNdovLk6rLyw9qigZlMGMt7A0IYlalvaHUNlyckYsrlLu_Uyn9MuDZ-yQ2jh9-KthUNE8e8Rx/s1600/IMG_2754.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_S-JJvO73FSPIW8x6ERzvMXRuhxZMHaOnFxZUGHdhdNgquCiN2PzbL62PqkKPWply932cNdovLk6rLyw9qigZlMGMt7A0IYlalvaHUNlyckYsrlLu_Uyn9MuDZ-yQ2jh9-KthUNE8e8Rx/s400/IMG_2754.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668534779340156146" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgopW0loqdmIB7gjjOBoBfn7uYuu2HkA9p4zz4xYP5DDKwx-dks1z6GduxrvMNN8alxYpxnCg438jTliW16rlMW-2us96vH6Xs2LNoKgRozk7LA1xgJIvrDIa3LbWE2a4y1V9gAZTnAl57K/s1600/IMG_2751.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgopW0loqdmIB7gjjOBoBfn7uYuu2HkA9p4zz4xYP5DDKwx-dks1z6GduxrvMNN8alxYpxnCg438jTliW16rlMW-2us96vH6Xs2LNoKgRozk7LA1xgJIvrDIa3LbWE2a4y1V9gAZTnAl57K/s400/IMG_2751.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668534779372487010" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimWdK9gAut9BkQLppcX0D1FcJNQ6YeXeFKQednHLWLI2Wfs-8NRvhykoir-WSldJ2h-10aLUncnAHxOjJIcxfe7iZoIQF9twjlNoom6NO0TFCT9rupDvLeZo6QGVn6a3FgOPjdEmI9b8JO/s1600/IMG_2757.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimWdK9gAut9BkQLppcX0D1FcJNQ6YeXeFKQednHLWLI2Wfs-8NRvhykoir-WSldJ2h-10aLUncnAHxOjJIcxfe7iZoIQF9twjlNoom6NO0TFCT9rupDvLeZo6QGVn6a3FgOPjdEmI9b8JO/s400/IMG_2757.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668534768231351058" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtIagBqV0DhMhruG1PwjHsqZ9pBNNMT_CLFKT1XIxnWt3FKsTe-511Vk2sXKL6rs2cI7F0PYKO8Zr6en1eW9-BV_KFTrisR0e1z_9ebXZIoRcVo6g-nFoZOA3ARhY8x1y6LXe5WZlF6pTC/s1600/IMG_2760.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtIagBqV0DhMhruG1PwjHsqZ9pBNNMT_CLFKT1XIxnWt3FKsTe-511Vk2sXKL6rs2cI7F0PYKO8Zr6en1eW9-BV_KFTrisR0e1z_9ebXZIoRcVo6g-nFoZOA3ARhY8x1y6LXe5WZlF6pTC/s400/IMG_2760.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668534762971764418" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZBbKBX4imJZCkDy-IoxnBjTRxJDbuCPzSXRtHXlVDplJ50khwF3SWp-_UQXOvJk99CuYo10ZkLbrNIeFgki0D9pBL4Xf9YQH6TOd54IxEOB-84MTgHff-05EuMeR_wkk6fZ4rDsPqr34Z/s1600/IMG_2758.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZBbKBX4imJZCkDy-IoxnBjTRxJDbuCPzSXRtHXlVDplJ50khwF3SWp-_UQXOvJk99CuYo10ZkLbrNIeFgki0D9pBL4Xf9YQH6TOd54IxEOB-84MTgHff-05EuMeR_wkk6fZ4rDsPqr34Z/s400/IMG_2758.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668534763521343394" /></a><br />Woke up to a beautiful Autumn morning this morning and felt compelled to take some photos outside the studio.

Thirty DJ's including Skream & Benga, Ms Dynamite, Hessle Audio, Andy Weatherall, L-Vis 1990 and Ben Westbeech put on private parties in each of the 30 capsules. I was lucky enough to get invited to join Andy Weatherall and 20 other lucky punters on Capsule #7 for two full rotations of the wheel, along with free drinks and views of London at night. With a quick sliding of the doors we headed up into the sky to the ambient sounds of deep ambient house, which gradually picked up tempo resulting in some snare clapping disco. With free drinks and our own bar man on board, I had to pinch myself on a number of occasions at the completely surreal situation I was in.<div><br /> <div>I count myself truly lucky to have experienced such an amazing musical event and can only offer up a few wobbly iPhone shots as a means of illustrating how incredible it was. Congratulations Red Bull, you have out done yourselves once again. </div></div>Ben Steers Illustrateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08148095931116391167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446733275851051511.post-22162527532335480662011-10-06T16:51:00.007+01:002011-10-12T14:26:58.796+01:00Steve Jobs (1955-2011)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOv6Haqe34mpKVG4ZUFfwpFBMjsC1kE2tvWsF5xaXyZ19A2xXDcBZ3YHyTkO3QGeIoaJ3mHxDCqMFiyD4hW5mfHDJGpJKqQWsq20gzPD80kqLSSG0vsKkpWmCVWobZUtet6yA78SkMkKT0/s1600/YourTimeisLimited_2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOv6Haqe34mpKVG4ZUFfwpFBMjsC1kE2tvWsF5xaXyZ19A2xXDcBZ3YHyTkO3QGeIoaJ3mHxDCqMFiyD4hW5mfHDJGpJKqQWsq20gzPD80kqLSSG0vsKkpWmCVWobZUtet6yA78SkMkKT0/s400/YourTimeisLimited_2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662596569922924386" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwujezBSX8kMWNAAaomVyjosENSTF_AU5yaOm7y2dORp3L_TRLjCR09n-Xv9K0Ct7jroQhKPZcp_pjH374j_BQyu_3VS1EGKlJi6O5cVveaXBtXkhxkan3kX1CWucceBJP8BFxUZkhfmCj/s1600/YourTimeisLimited_1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwujezBSX8kMWNAAaomVyjosENSTF_AU5yaOm7y2dORp3L_TRLjCR09n-Xv9K0Ct7jroQhKPZcp_pjH374j_BQyu_3VS1EGKlJi6O5cVveaXBtXkhxkan3kX1CWucceBJP8BFxUZkhfmCj/s400/YourTimeisLimited_1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662596568934054898" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWQZq8CYj9X7FwVyQzElK57QuRMUocsjEe6t7ZqaxVHD02eR8NGSMwH24hVrTMLG7oFBDcBxli7eGQOVVQ6PJcR0NJ8f6apnxM8H531eO5xNO_wPgqN7RPc-ErtG1vY7UYW4TL4ysQI0Q_/s1600/YourTimeisLimited.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWQZq8CYj9X7FwVyQzElK57QuRMUocsjEe6t7ZqaxVHD02eR8NGSMwH24hVrTMLG7oFBDcBxli7eGQOVVQ6PJcR0NJ8f6apnxM8H531eO5xNO_wPgqN7RPc-ErtG1vY7UYW4TL4ysQI0Q_/s400/YourTimeisLimited.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662596568120201490" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBNZ3Gbwc0_eTgHwnERp8Is1S0QdsotNxValqOnH8hezs6yfcu6f91A_CKs8GCo2NkRBiiv5dJFNUf_PrqRM3iAVLuojyZBluTflKUnq3QNwmwcCc8FvhFXYfW2GNML6pt0K5F9SmAfvGy/s1600/YourTimeisLimited.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBNZ3Gbwc0_eTgHwnERp8Is1S0QdsotNxValqOnH8hezs6yfcu6f91A_CKs8GCo2NkRBiiv5dJFNUf_PrqRM3iAVLuojyZBluTflKUnq3QNwmwcCc8FvhFXYfW2GNML6pt0K5F9SmAfvGy/s400/YourTimeisLimited.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5660417222303442018" /></a><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Following the tragic news of the loss of the visionary pioneer and ex-Apple CEO Steve Jobs on 5th October 2011 I decided to put together a tribute piece to help raise money for the cancer charity </span><a href="http://www.pancreaticcancer.org.uk/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Pancreatic Cancer UK</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Steve Jobs was an innovator and true visionary who single handily pulled Apple out of the ashes and introduced the world to ground breaking products such as the iMac, iPhone, iPod and iPad. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">I only have to look around my desk to see the huge impact that Steve and Apple have had on my life.

I will be dropping clues via twitter throughout the day incase your struggling as some of the eggs are rather well hidden.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Once you have found all 5 eggs send an email to info@bensteers.com with the location of all 5 and I will select 5 people at random to receive some special Easter goody bags which will include limited edition prints, postcards, stickers and more. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">You have until midnight tonight to find those eggs, so get cracking. </div>Ben Steers Illustrateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08148095931116391167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446733275851051511.post-76758154657316991722011-04-27T11:12:00.005+01:002011-04-27T11:47:49.243+01:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7x8JKZjLYOBJ6eQh_mRSUejog2CkybTDWFUscMRsO8pmcPufNNSgGEaWPesD1htV_gAX5z0y6qOJh2DFqpY8FBVNbNB6-9q1849pMGrVADbvOn-KvXM110XeOhuxFA-qEO200JY4t1rpx/s1600/DesignBanner.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 160px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7x8JKZjLYOBJ6eQh_mRSUejog2CkybTDWFUscMRsO8pmcPufNNSgGEaWPesD1htV_gAX5z0y6qOJh2DFqpY8FBVNbNB6-9q1849pMGrVADbvOn-KvXM110XeOhuxFA-qEO200JY4t1rpx/s320/DesignBanner.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600207252908401378" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">Design your own Easter Egg character</span></b></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">For a little bit of fun I thought I would set up a gallery of Egg-pic proportions. I have created an Egg template for you lovely yolk to download. The idea is simple: download the pdf file from the following <a href="http://www.bensteers.com/Designyourown.pdf">link</a>, extract the Egg template, create your very own Easter Egg character and send it back to me at <b>info@bensteers.com</b>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Every entry I receive I will post up on my blog and give a plug on the social networks. The best designed egg will also be sent a goody basket containing prints, postcards, stickers and more.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It's just a little bit of fun, so get cracking and if I get enough entries I may even put them together as a one-off downloadable wallpaper. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Bit late but happy Easter y'all!</div></div>Ben Steers Illustrateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08148095931116391167noreply@blogger.com0
