Howdy, welcome to Unequal Balance : Art Direction, Illustration & Street Couture

Apologies for the lack of postage recently but we have been busy getting our online shop ready for our first  T-shirt drop, sampling  outerwear for winter 2010 and just general plotting for a hostile take over.

I am glad to say that UN=IQUE #02 created by the hugely talented MERGS is now complete & we are hyped.

We will be dropping the look book in the next few weeks with a complete overview of our own UN= T’s and the UN=IQUE series but until then stay UN=

This is the hand screened A2 pull out poster we did for the first issue of TAB.

Until the next time rave on & stay UN=

The Excellent ONE69A of Screen printing fame got us on board to help them come up with a new identity for their new project Galerie Carousel in which they will be turning their studio  in Islington Mill on occasion into a Gallery. The space is perfect for such events and has a real charm about it. We will let you know when they have their first transformation so you can see for yourself.

Until then Stay UN=

New start up TAB (to be announced….) zine liked what we are doing and liked our styles. For that we thanked them and took part in a little interview as well as contributing some of our time in creating a A2 pull out poster for their first issue (photos to follow soon).

In a nut shell TAB is a exciting independent art and music project driven to acclaim the creativity of the subversive, unknown and the admired across a multimedia platform.  With a monthly limited run of hand screen printed poster-zines – each issue is designed by one of the featured contributors.

Anyhow check them out & stay UN=

Howdy all.

Just finished this piece for the front cover of the new High Voltage magazine. It always drops lots of knowledge in terms of music and is a really great read. Also we are finally glad to see that is online with a new site so check it out -> High Voltage.

Also read this issue online.

Anyhow you know the drill.

Stay UN=

A belated happy new year to each and everyone of you.

We have been beavering away so far this year and are just about to launch our online shop as well as our artist colab series UN=IQUE.

First of all the UN= shop will be opening in the middle of  February which will be ram packed with loads of goodness & essential items for you to purchase.

Also to go hand in hand with the launch of the online shop we will be bringing you UN=IQUE in which we will be teaming up with artists, brands and just general creative heads who we buzz off to bring you an assortment of limited goodies  produced to the highest standards. We are going with a real hands on personal touch  with this and it will only be available via our online shop.

The first two releases will see us team up with two of our favorite illustrators.

UN=IQUE #01 will be brought to you by Michael Brains who has been big pimpin his style all over & most notably recently at Secret Wars in Birmingham. UN=IQUE #02 will be brought to you by MERGS (the bird bird bird, the bird is the word). Both these guys are on point with a pencil and we are really excited with what they have produced. Both releases will include a  T-shirt and a A2 Screen print of which both releases will be limited to a run of 50. All this stuff will be also hand screen printed by the excellent ONE69A.

Anyhow in the meantime sign up to our newsletter for a heads up on when everything drops & to gain some special offers for newsletter only peeps.

Until then sign up and Stay UN=

Created by Rodrigo Blaas, this epic & dark short animation is quite an achievement for his first attempt at directing. The attention to detail is brilliant and every time you watch you pick up on another element.

Enjoy & stay UN=

Here at Unequal Balance we are massive junkies for needless knowledge you need to know. If you fall into this category this is essential viewing.

This fantastic piece on  the progression of information technology, researched by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Bronmanis  is really well executed & throws up some good stats in your boat race.

Anyhow sit back and let the needless knowledge engulf you.

Keep learning & stay UN= but remain balanced.

Our friends at The Daily Street (An excellent source for whats going down on the UK streets in terms of threads, art & music) are getting right in the festive spirit of giving with their big Christmas Competition in which they are giving away an assortment of 30 essential premium goods which they have been stock piling.
