New Belle & Sebastian UK Tour poster, 2-color & all hand screenprinted. (Click for more info or to purchase.)
Huge big yay! So excited yet again, we just can’t help it. Belle & Sebastian are pretty much my favoritest favorite band, and have been for well close to 15 years. So, we’re beyond-all-reason-honored and thrilled to have been able to design and hand screenprint their limited edition 2010 United Kingdom Tour promotional show poster (our 4th poster for the lovelies from Glasgow).
Write About Love, love.
Simply put? They’re the bestest.
This time we did a blue companion poster to our North American Tour Poster (See it HERE) and the start of a love letter is my all hand screenprinted poster for the fantastic Belle & Sebastian with peacock blue and midnight black hand-mixed acrylic silkscreen inks. An Artist’s Edition of 100 is available here, and are signed & numbered (by me, strawberryluna) so I will have a limited few available for sale. Size: 16×22 inches (39.4 cm x 55.9 cm.) Paper: archival Cougar, White 100lb cover weight.
This poster will be available at shows on the UK tour dates, and here as I have just a portion of the run available for sale here, so they will go quick!
Now onsale & available for purchase from my website & webstore here and also available at my Etsy shop here.

Hello there, just wanted to say how ultra LOVELY this print is! I managed to get print no. 326/500 at ATP Bowlie 2, which was curated by Belle & Sebastian, on the 2nd weekend in December. I was straight away struck by the elegant design and vibrant colours. I was torn between the official Bowlie 2 poster and the strawberry luna Write About Love poster. Needless to say, I chose your design because it was too beautiful to resist. I can’t wait to get it framed and hung! And impressive to find out that they are all hand printed, too.
And yes, Belle & Sebastian are one of the bestest bands ever 🙂 You’re enthusiasm is definitely shared!
Awww dang, thank you SO much Crystal!
And can I just say that I am crazy jealous that you were at Bowlie? We were ding dongs and somehow thought of it as some far off, way too distant thing to try and get to, but once this year came to a close and we were working with our favorites Belle & Sebastian I felt like a dope for not making it a priority right off the bat. It sounds like such an amazing and fun festival in every way.
Our friend Michael Michael Motorcycle did the Bowlie poster, so you really couldn’t have gone wrong with either one. He’s amazing. But thanks so much for chosing mine for B+S <3 and I hope that you enjoy! It was quite a feat to hand screenprint them all, but fun and well worth it.
Thanks again & cheers!
