Popaganda legend Ron English has made his way back to Austin, TX for a very special signing event during SXSW. This Saturday, March 20, the master himself will be signing limited run lithographs of his rock inspired works as well as limited edition clothing at the Billboard Bungalow in the Planet Illogica pop-up shop.

So Ron, tell us a little about your connection to Rock 'n Roll and why this event at SXSW is important to you.

 

Well, this is a signing of high end prints with Planet Illogica in Austinduring the SXSW music festival that's happening in Austin next week. There are some really well known and popular images that we're going to show out there and I'll be signing things as well. There are images from my HISTORIC KISS series, as well as THE KURSED KIDS and my new SLASH album cover and other music related pieces.
 
 

 

I have been to SXSW a few times in the distant past. The first time I was living in Austin and it was all unsigned bands. I came back a couple times to promote my brother in law’s band THE SUTCLIFFES and my concept CD POPaganda. I seemed to run into everyone you can think of at SXSW. When I was there with THE SUTCLIFFES we hung out with Chris Douridas and a young man he was introducing to the world named Beck. We had just been talking to Linklater and for some reason I thought Beck was one of the characters in Slacker and told him how much I loved the movie. He seemed a bit confused by me.
 
 
 
Other years we hung out with Space Hog, Sara Hickman, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, John Doe, Jello Biafra, Mojo Nixon, Daniel Johnston, Sonic Youth, the list goes on and on. You saw everyone 5 minutes before they were famous. I don’t know if there has ever been anything like SXSW. As for my own relationship to music, I think that probably really took form in college. I threw a lot of parties and used a lot of bands as entertainment. In exchange for their services I would do their flyers and the occasional album cover. I also let them rehearse at my house. It was a big old southern house we painted psychedelic with over turned cars as lawn ornaments. There were jazz bands, classical, punk, you name it. We had bands rather than a stereo. Musicians that played my parties in the day included Michelle Shocked and REM. Later when I started releasing concept CDs I had a lot of talent I could tap. My band The Electric Illuminati just mastered our first CD so I should be able to premiere the tracks at the event.

Signal Gallery is bringing together Matt Small and Zac Walsh for the show called "This is us" from 12th March to 1st April 2010.

Matt and Zac have studied together at the Royal College Of Art, but artistically their paths have moved in different directions.

I’ve been back in New York for the past few weeks—essentially from Fashion Week to Armory Week, with the Whitney Biennial sandwiched between—and I’ve seen so much art that I’m not sure where to begin. To make things more interesting, my camera started giving random error messages, and I haven’t had time to have it serviced, rendering void my usual tactic of posting tons of pics rather than taking the time to politely word actual opinions.

 

So basically I’ll hit the high points—if something stuck with me, obviously it’s significant enough…right?

Last year we popped into the Iguapop Gallery in Barcelona. We loved Pepa's work and thought we would find out more about her and her work.

Q: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
My name its Pepa Prieto I was born in Granada, a beautiful city in the south of Spain surrounded by mountains. I will be moving to England soon though.

Q: What are you major influences?
Many small things but probably the most obvious are music, memories, travels, nature, people and books.
