A selection of older music prints designed to work

A selection of older music prints designed to work in 3D (each print ships with a pair of those red/blue anaglyph paper glasses- see last slide), but I think also look pretty cool without.

The first one here is Bowie’s Space Oddity, where if you close one eye you see the words of Major Tom, and the other eye the reply from Ground Control.

Other ones make different words jump out so they look like they are nearer or further away. An effect created by offsetting the colours - either blue to the left or red to the left makes the word or letter seem nearer or further away.

I’ve been making prints inspired by music lyrics

I’ve been making prints inspired by music lyrics for years now. They started as giclée prints, and more recently I’ve started using stencils and spraypaint for a more textured and unique finish. For a while I went through a phase where they were all in 3D and you had to view them with those paper 3D glasses. Here are a selection of prints from my ‘black period’ (🙃) iconic lyrics on jet black backgrounds, where the words are the absence of colour.

Hello to any new followers. I am Dex, a graphic artist who creates intricate creative maps of London. Each map celebrates the capital’s credentials as one of the world’s most iconic, cinematic and creative cities. From London’s legendary literary heritage and deep down music cool. Featuring novels, films and some of the best musicians in history, all plotted in the locations they are most famously associated. Each map is a labour of love, taking up to a year to complete.

Here is my illustration of Human Control Panel A72

Here is my illustration of Human Control Panel A723C. It was uncovered 1973 in a decommissioned American military base. The A723C was created for Project MKUltra, a human experimentation program designed and undertaken by the CIA to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used to brainwash and control enemy operatives. The control panel was discontinued in the late 1960s after the director of Central Intelligence (Richard M. Helms) was accidentally turned into a communist.

There is something very therapeutic about spending a few hours carefully stickering and packaging art before it gets shipped off to their new homes. xx
