This book gathers the covers of Ver Sacrum, the official magazine of the Vienna Secession, which ran from 1898 to 1903. Published for the 120th anniversary of this historic magazine, it reproduces all 120 regular issues―plus some special, limited-edition covers―in 1:1 scale, alongside a selection of block prints, lithographs and copper engravings.

Ver Sacrum (meaning "Sacred Spring" in Latin) was conceived by Gustav Klimt, Max Kurzweil and Ludwig Hevesi. During its six years of activity, 471 original drawings were made specifically for the magazine, along with 55 lithographs and copper engravings and 216 block prints, by artists such as Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Koloman Moser, Otto Wagner, Max Fabiani, Joseph Maria Olbrich and Josef Hoffmann. Writers such as Rainer Maria Rilke, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Maurice Maeterlinck, Knut Hamsun, Otto Julius Bierbaum, Richard Dehmel, Ricarda Huch, Conrad Ferdinand Meyer and Arno Holz were published in its pages.

Ver Sacrum reveals the tremendous originality of the Jugendstil language, a cornerstone of modernity that elaborated new forms of design, illustration and print/editorial composition.

"HOT SNAKES" 9/1/22 11" x 17" #offsetprint! . WOW...today marks the 20th anniversary of the @hotsnakesband poster I designed...way back in 2002! . #HOTSNAKES was one of my favorite bands growing up! I also grew up on @rftcrftc and @dljband . So it was a big deal to design a poster for a @swami_john_reis project. A lot of great artists have done art for one of the bands he's been in. Including #Pushead! #AutomaticMidnight and #SuicideInvoice are my favorite albums by HS. Please check them out!!! I remember going to the show at the @thetroubadour and being blown away by how AMAZING @beehiveandthebarracudas were. (Around that time "'Plastic Soul' With The White Apes" had come out and I was playing it nonstop! You need to check it out!) . Anywho... It was my first time seeing both bands. I waited patiently after the show and talked to John Reis for a bit and got him to sign a copy of the poster for me. We chatted and he made my day by getting the #GustavKlimt reference! . I was (and still am) a big fan of the #SecessionMovement. #Klimt , #KolomanMoser , and #AlphonseMucha were all members of that group. Look it up! They started one of the first illustration magazines #VerSacrum and often contributed to #Jugend Magazine back at the turn of the century. I "borrowed" the idea from a detail of Klimt's painting "Medicine" which was sadly destroyed by the Nazis back in 1945... I want to revisit that idea again. I also tried to sneak in a bit of the #JackKirby influence by making the clothing flat and graphic. Kinda like his designs of the Sentinels. . Living in LA in the early 2000s was an exciting time for me and I was fortunate enough to be one of the regular "poster guys" for #theTroubadour! I was still trying to figure out how to draw and navigate life in LA and life as a freelancer. I'm surprised I made it this far. And maybe someday I'll be back in LA for good. Or San Diego. Or Santa Ana. I can't make up my mind. . So that's my memory of designing this poster for Hot Snakes! . . Hey, I'll be at #NewYorkComicCon this year!!! BOOTH 1373!!! . . . . . #brianewing #illustration #gigposter #rocketfromthectypt #rftc #gigposter #brianewingfiendclub (at The Troubadour) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch-iFTEJDpL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

PIXIES FOIL Variant 18”x24" #ScreenPrint Signed & Numbered Edition of 15 More info here http://bodega.brianewing.com/pixies-foil-variant/ (fingers NOT included) . Here’s the FINAL #foil #variant for the @pixiesofficial #gigposter. I was commissioned by the band and @mrtsurt to design the #poster for their show at @BlossomMusicCtr in #CuyahogaFalls! . The contest is over. THANK YOU to all the people that read through all the crap I ramble on about and guessed #GUSTAVKLIMT ! Your prints have been shipped! Tag a brotha once you get them!!! . I’m A HUGE fan of the #ArtNouveau and #Secession movements from the early 1900’s The birth of commercial illustration came from those periods!!! When trying to come up with ideas for this project (and another) I had a bunch of books on #Klimt #AlphonseMucha and a book (I stole from the art school I dropped out of) on the turn-of-the-century magazine #VerSacrum “I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany!” . I was HEAVILY influenced by one of my favorite Klimt paintings - “The Water Nymphs”. AKA I stole from the best! When I first heard “Is She Weird” by #thePixies I always imagined a woman’s head floating around searching for her body. Because of these lyrics: “Is she weird, is she white? Is she promised to the night? And her head has no room” . I REALLY enjoyed working on this poster. It felt good to just try something different than what I’m used to. It freaked me out too. Trying new shit is uncomfortable. When I held the print in my hand though - I felt very proud. The colors I spec’d came out exactly how I had hoped and I was stoked to see I sep’d the colors correctly. I’ve been doing my own #colorseps for most of my career and each time I stress out. Wondering if the printer will do a good job or if I forgot something and didn’t notice it until it was already printed. . Thanks to everyone for the positive response from the previous post. It seemed like the right time to open up about the process of making this poster. . Hope you dig! I drank too much coffee! . My computer is finally unfucked! . #pixies #pixiesmerch #lowbrow #rockposter #detail #illustration #rockposter (at Blossom Music Center)
