This print was selected from the Glasgow Print Studio by Alice from the Depot Arts Group.
“This print portrays the beginning of life, in harmony with nature. With the woman protecting mother earth through the decades against modern machinery slowly destroying the earth, taking us into space age.”

As part of Glasgow’s Active Ageing Week, a community group from 'Keep Creative', an arts and health GP referral programme, run by Depot Arts in North Glasgow took part in our ‘Growing Bolder’ Printmaking and Archive Project.
The group learned about fine art printmaking techniques and had a tour of the facilities. They watched our Master Screenprinter at work in the professional workshop, and took a look behind the scenes with our Archive Curator, gaining hands on experience visiting our fantastic on-site Archive. After selecting prints from the Archive the group wrote short responses to the images and on the final session had a go for themselves, creating their own original screenprint.

These photos are about how women’s queer and lesbian identities are deemed as predatory under patriarchy, and being one makes it easy to identify with monstrosity. I chose vampires as the perfect representation upon discovering Sheridan Le Fanu's vampire novel Carmilla, that was published two decades before Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Upon discovering the novel, I thought that it was so cool that the girl vampire was gay, and she quickly became my favorite character, which was worrisome because she’s supposed to be a villain. I kept Guillermo del Toro’s work in mind, thinking about how he often uses monsters and supernatural elements in his films as analogies for real life horrors. The alienation and antagonization of her character mirrors reality in the sense of what it’s like to be different from the norm, and how the world treats these qualities. These photos express how living in a culture where misogyny and heteronormativity is so entrenched in everything makes us think about ourselves. Gross, predatory, and deviant.
Estas fotos tratan de cómo mujeres gays y lesbianas son vistxs como depredadorxs bajo el patriarcado, y la manera que nuestras identidades son marginadas y nos acercan a identificarnos con monstruosidad. Tome el vampirísmo como representación de este concepto al descubrir la novela Carmilla escrita por Sheridan le Fanu, que de hecho salió dos décadas antes que Drácula de Bram Stoker. Pensaba que era genial que la chica vampira era gay, y rápidamente se convirtió en mi personaje favorito, cosa que fue preocupante porque se supone que ella es la villana. Tenía en mente las películas de Guillermo del Toro, porque el frecuentemente usa los monstruos o elementos sobrenaturales como analogías. La antagonización y la alienación de el personaje refleja la realidad en el sentido de cómo se siente no pertenecer a la norma, y la manera a la que el mundo trata a esas cualidades. Con estas fotos expreso como vivir en una cultura donde la heteronormatividad machista que está arraigada en todas partes y nos cria a todxs influye lo que pensamos sobre nosotrxs. Rarxs, y asquerosxs.
Having printed a bag with a design of a rainbow bee-eater (Xmas present for a friend), I made myself a t-shirt with the same stencil and added a bird in flight as well, but using imaginary colors. Unfortunately I didn't mask properly and got some purple in the wrong place -- so I added a cloud, using masking fluid to do a scribble shape.

If you ever have the dilemma of company unexpectedly stopping by your house and nothing but the swill you normally drink to serve them, these coasters are the answer! Place a tall can of Natty Ice, Bottle of Lucky Lager, Zima or glass of Boone's Farm on one of our coasters and the drink of choice is immediately elevated to the kind of ironic cool you can't buy at Urban Outfitters or at the little "cool kids" boutique nearby.
These understated mild-mannered coasters are nicely packaged in a half-sheath holder made of glitter red or black vinyl. (your choice) The four, 3 and 3/4" coasters were made of records we rescued from the "free" bins in local record shops due to scratches and/or music too cool for monetary exchange.
These coasters were lovingly hand printed by Poppa McSpecies! If you turn them over you'll find a Mixed Species logo on the back.
