View this email in your browser THE LOST DOMAIN I'd like to announce the establishment of The Lost Domain, a new print outlet. The Lost Domain will make available editions of Stanley Donwood prints which will be available to pre-order for a period of 48 hours; after that the edition will be printed according to demand, then signed, numbered and dispatched. These prints will not be available from anywhere but The Lost Domain, unless someone sells one via eBay or somewhere, and I can't do fuck all about that. The first of these prints is titled 'Sol', as shown above; this can be pre-ordered for a period of 48 hours starting at 6pm BST on the 21st May. Prints made available from The Lost Domain will always be the same size (480mm x 280mm) and the same price (£120). For more details please visit The Lost Domain. SLOWLY DOWNWARD MANUFACTORY The Slowly Downward Manufactory has become entirely self-sufficient in screen print production with the addition of new equipment, so we can now do everything in-house. Observe our new printer, which which we produce our film positives! Marvel at our drying cabinet and our exposure cabinet! And! We have also increased the maximum screen size we can use on the printing table. This is amazing! Behold our gleaming new machinery! But yeah, everything has taken a little while longer due to the ongoing situation (and travel restrictions) - but we are getting there. I will of course keep you updated on what we're actually going to print in the next Taglibro. Oh and look! Down there where the minotaur screen is... We now have a Persian carpet which is just the thing for a screen-printing workshop. Très chic innit. OTHER STUFF In other, even less finalised 'news': I'm working on a new series of large paintings - these are of what could be called 'sacred landscapes', parts of the islands of Britain that bear traces of the activities of past dwellers, people who left no written record of their intentions. They are paintings of the areas surrounding stone circles like Stonehenge, Callanish and Avebury, or chalk hill figures like the Uffington White Horse or the Cerne Abbas Giant, or monumental earthworks like Maiden Castle or Chanctonbury Ring. I have combined topographical and cartographic information to figure out the composition of these works, and used the blinding Pop colours I previously employed for the paintings I made for the Radiohead record 'Hail to the Thief' and subsequently for the exhibition title 'Over Normal' in San Francisco. Because of the pandemic I have no idea how or if I will ever be able to exhibit the paintings, but I'm continuing to paint in the hope that one day it will be possible. The longer it all takes the more I will paint and the bigger exhibition space I'll need... Also, I will be producing another print with Detroit outfit 1XRUN; this time of a painting entitled 'Faster', which will be a companion piece (in a way) to the previous one I did with them, "Run'. Both of these paintings were made in the grounds of a derelict and horribly haunted mansion house in the south of England. The pictures , however, are not haunted, not even remotely, not at all, not even a tiny bit. Adios, amigos. Want to change how you receive these emails?
