Finally, in other very exciting news, we can let you know that for those in Perth we will have some cool stuff available to purchase at Popsicle, that awesome annual pop up store organised by our friends, the On William Collective.

Popsicle runs from 9 – 15 September 2010 in the Perth Cultural Centre and we will have RISO and our Sleeping with the Band pillowcases featured. We should mention that we are reprinting some editions from the sell out WAM series. So get in super early to purchase pillowcases featuring those likely lads, Josh Fontaine, Sam Scherr and James Baker plus the lovely ladies Felicity Groom and Abbe May. AND we are also printing some all new pillowcase designs just for Popsicle, so  you can soon have Hayley Beth, The Tigers and Drapht to get cosy with on your bed. Check out the sexy flyer…

Love Is My Velocity Key Terms

Love is My Velocity is launching the LIMV Cookbook II in May. For the occasion, we’re hosting three events as part of the 2009 WAMi Festival – the LIMV Cookbook II launch and exhibition, the Bank Notes recording studio, and a series of band-artist Windows on William displays. What are all these things? It’s hard to explain. Please refer to the definitions below.

Love Is My Velocity: currently acts as a record label, publisher and developer of creative multi-disciplinary events. Its four directors have launched five split 7” vinyl singles, two full length CDs and two art publications over the past few years, as well as putting on numerous cross-platform gigs around town.

The Love Is My Velocity Cookbook II: is LIMV’s second attempt at gathering emerging Perth artists and musicians into an interactive biannual 60-page almanac of local creativity. A selection of musicians contributes recipes, which, along with their music, inspires artists to create a dynamic work decorating the back of each A5 recipe card. The Cookbook’s unbound format makes it unique – it can act as a regular cookbook or as a selection of prints to hang on your wall.
The Love Is My Velocity Cookbook Launch and Exhibition are a part of the 2009 WAMi Festival.

The Cookbook II Exhibition: is filled with the original drawings, paintings, photographs, sculptures, installations, videos, assemblages and textiles created for the Cookbook II. More than 60 works will be on display and available to purchase from May 9-20 in 214 William Street (the Old Bank). Gallery opens 10am-4pm weekdays and 12pm-4pm weekends. (continue reading…)
