Want It Need It: Screens 'N' Spokes at Mugshots

Filed Under: Arts | Visual Art Want it need it

We can't really understand any reason you wouldn't go flocking to Mugshots this Thursday (7 p.m., free, 2106 Fairmount Ave., mugshotscoffeehouse.com) for the annual Screens 'N' Spokes charity art sale. Sixteen talented artists from across the U.S. ' including Greg Pizzoli, Leia Bell and Decoder Ring Design Concern ' have created bike-inspired illustrations and letterpress work to benefit the National MS Society, and we kinda want one of each.

They're gorgeous prints priced fairly, and the cause is a great one. Team Screens 'N' Spokes has an almost-up-and-running Web site, blog, Twitter account and Etsy site (where the prints will be available for purchase as of the week of August 10), but they've also shared with us a handful of previews that we, in turn, will share with y'all. Here goes, with accompanying Screens 'N' Spokes-provided captions:


First off is a sexy number from Renee Fernandez of the Decoder Ring Design Concern, hailing from Austin, Texas. Renee is an avid biker and her print uses cool greens and yellows to fill your wall with double entendres.	Next up is a bright blue print from John Vogl, who works under the moniker "The Bungaloo" in St. Louis, MO.	From SNS veteran Leia Bell, we've seen two red bikes ' a tricycle and a road bike by the shore ' but this year she's going for a pretty shade of green in a sweet close-up. It's still instantly recognizable as Leia's work.
