DESCRIPTION:This event had been planned for some time as a launch party for David 
 King's long-overdue monograph featuring his iconic stencil-only designs. 
 Sadly, David passed away recently but friends, family and colleagues 
 decided to continue on with the launch event but to also make it a 
 celebration of the life and work of David King.\n\nThe new book STENCILS 
 starts with his legendary logo for the UK band Crass and continues to the 
 present day. Both the artist’s process and finished output are on display 
 in this revealing collection, from the covered-in-layers-of-paint stencils 
 themselves to the drawings and designs outlining the thought process and 
 ultimately the final art. Many of these works used multiple stencils and 
 colors to create one-off finished pieces that you’re likely to find only 
 within the pages of this book.\n\nDavid King grew up in post-war London and 
 attended art school there between 1964 and 1967. He worked as an art 
 director for a decade thereafter, but left the commercial art world as he 
 became more involved in creating music and confrontational graphics. He 
 moved to New York and was commissioned to do graphics for clubs like 
 Danceteria, Peppermint Lounge and also for The Museum of Modern Art. He 
 joined the band Arsenal around this time. Eventually the band relocated to 
 San Francisco, touring the west coast extensively, changing its name to 
 Sleeping Dogs and then finally Brain Rust. In the early 1990s, King 
 attended the San Francisco Art Institute. Since that time, David has made 
 short films, continued with his logo design for bands and record labels and 
 has published a number of photo books. He still was making stencils until 
 the time of his death.\n
