An Exhibition of screenprints and posters by WEBUYYOURKIDS

Opening night: THURSDAY 15TH OCTOBER 6.00PM
Exhibition continues: 16TH OCTOBER - 4TH NOVEMBER, 2009.

About the Exhibition:
Renowned Sydney based illustrators WEBUYYOURKIDS will present a much anticipated show at Monster Children Gallery in October. Titled ‘Trials’, the exhibition explores the duo’s fascination with witchcraft, bad luck, ill health, black cats and cheaply printed posters, flyers and magazines.

Themes of misinterpretation, bad judgement and injustice emerge through a series of screenprints, either in stark black and white or slabs of flat bright colour. There is a heavy nod to the pulp magazines, comics and schlock movie posters of the 1970s and the printing processes utilised in their mass execution.

WEBUYYOURKIDS is Biddy Maroney and Sonny Day, who began working together in 2005 illustrating gig posters. Since then they have worked mainly in the music industry producing tour art for such bands as Deerhunter, Dappled Cities, Blonde Redhead and Les Savy Fav. They have made album art work for Paul Dempsey, The Holy Soul and Youth Group and video clips for Washington and Belles Will Ring.

Their illustrations have appeared in Wired magazine, Business Week and the New York Times, and in 2008 they were nominated for a SMAC (Sydney Music, Arts & Culture) Award for Best Visual Artist.

The MC Gallery is supported by Asahi, Resolution.
