Rumble Fish Inspired Motorcycle Girl Limited Edition Print (edition of 20) - 60% sold
A very short edition (20 of Girl and 20 of Boy) from The Printer’s Devil.
450mm x 635mm printed by hand on original letterpress on 118gsm milktweek paper
Numbered and Signed.
Setting type, inking by hand and proofing, peeling paper away from inked wood type. The smooth texture of hand made 70gsm Japanese paper. The patina of old wood blocks worn smooth by decades of use. An edition is printed and every print is different. Slightly.
Stephen Kenny is a letterpress designer, artist and printer working independently in London. Fascinated by centuries old techniques, processes and the culture of wood block printing, in 2008 he established ‘A Two Pipe Problem’, a letterpress studio with a sideways homage to his hero Sherlock Holmes. Then in 2019 seeking a closer connection to letterpress and inspired by Hokusai’s multiple name changes (as many as 30 different names) he established ‘The Printer’s Devil’ in East London’s Hackney Wick. Everything has changed, nothing has changed.
Rumble Fish - Francis Ford Coppola’s 1983 film starring Mickey Rourke and Matt Dillon based on S.E. Hinton’s Novel.
We didn’t want this second Lock down to stop our monthly gatherings so this month we’re hosting it in the comfort of your own home, and we offering it nationally (internationally without the food and drinks …)
You can expect the same curated content, great food from Smoke And Bones, cocktails courtesy of The Cocktail Delivery Company, music, and of course a great film to top the bill.
So how’s it work? £3 covers your membership fee/ entrance (to your own home) and furnishes you with one of rather good limited run Hang Out At Home Rumble Fish pin badges.
Before the event submit your photos from your rebellious teens for the Youth Club Archive of subcultural photography . The best will be on screen on the night.

Tune in to an introduction from Chris from Rebel Reel Cine Club and Andrew from Bolt and a live Dj set from Zippo records as you pour yourself a cocktail, hand crafted and delivered to your door - don’t forget to make some ice.
Our friends at Smoke & Bones have ingeniously made us a special Smoke House cook at home kit, where you’ll find everything you need to make two of burgers with all the trimmings, sodas and a salted caramel brownie.
Enjoy our main feature film Rumble Fish
We will stream the event live on youtube Live where you can comment, chat and take part in Rumblefish Bingo plus quizzes, trivia and other nonsense …
