Plastered Rock Weekend 创可贴摇滚周末

After many hours of work it now seems that we have a Plastered Music festival of sorts on its way. Working with Maybe Mars we have managed to get 3 of Beijing’s biggest acts to pull off what will be 3 great nights.

Plastered Rock Weekend marks the launch of our new website featuring our “Plastered Backstage” site that is host to our cooperation with China’s rock music scene. We collaborate with Beijing’s top bands to create artwork and plaster it on t-shirts, available in our shops, and from our new website. Beyond the artwork, “Plastered Backstage” is host to a bilingual forum for all events, news, images, and community related to China’s rock scene.

Starting with Friday night (September 18, 2009) at D-22, Plastered brings you the next generation of Chinese rock with the city’s best student bands vying for a spot as warm- up band for the following night at Yugongyishan (panel of judges to select and the winner will be announced at the end of the night). That night (Saturday, September 19) Carsick Cars, PK-14, and The GAR will take the stage at Yugongyishan (all on the Maybe Mars record label). This is the last chance to catch these bands before they take off on their international tour.

Tickets for the event at Yugongyishan are RMB 60 but we’re giving away hundreds of free tickets online starting September 1st. Sign up for the free tickets at www.plasteredtshirts.com. On top of the free tix, expect free giveaways.

The Plastered Rock Weekend night at Yugongyishan will be streaming from the Plastered site for those who choose to watch and rock at home. It officially marks the launch of the site.

Here are some pics I recently received from my dear friend Moira who helped us donate some shirts to some very worthy causes. The Bo Ai orphanage which are the beautiful young kids running around and sitting in chairs and the Ping An medical foster home which are the little ones being held by the Ayis who are also in donated Plastered T shirts. Also a huge thanks to Teresa Wang who does amazing work with both places, these pics really made our day!

Stained Glass Project

About 3 months ago I had an idea to create some stained glass images of iconic Chinese “heroes”. I approached 5 artists to design their favourite “heroes” and here are the first results of the idea.

Mao is currently in production in Jiangxi, i met a stained glass producer and he is creating a 1 metre squared Mao for me.Here are some pics from the factory.We have more “heroes” being created here are three others that are also at the factory.

These two are pretty complicated and will take some time to produce, you’d be surprised how many stained glass manufacturers there are in China, and very good at what they do too.

Window

Here’s another number 8 for the window. Went for a more classic Beijing look. The beach and the palm tree. I also made a giant washing up bottle!

We also added some beautiful buildings to the bottom.

Here are a couple of photos of our changing 8 in the shop window of our Nan Luo Gu Xiang store.

This one is inspired by our workers 8 design.

This 8 was inspired by our building posters.

Columns

I got asked onto a TV show last week about being a boss in China. Was actually not as boring as it sounds as it was mostly about a brilliant new tv series on BTV about this guy who is a Lao Ban or boss and all his trails and tribulations. The clips they played really made me laugh. Same director as “Beijing Ren Zai Niu Yue” does anyone out there remember that one? A real classic. Anyway despite the very upbeat mood and the laughter felt around the studio I couldn’t help but notice the decorations, or “columns of death” that were behind the celebrities being interviewed. These columns were covered in pictures of mass graves, starving children etc all a bit depressing really.
