WHO? Steve Ryan (IRELAND) Versus Will Bryant (USA)

Steve Ryan (photography)
has been making images since the early 00′s. Referring to his projects as little adventures, he finds what interests him and then explores the subject visually. His work has been published in magazines such as Totally Dublin and Vice, among others. In this project Mr. Ripple, Steve recalls nostalgia and the common childhood by examining the suburban Ice-Cream man.

Will Bryant (Collage / Found Objects)
is a 22 year old graphic design student at Mississippi State. He is trying to develop himself as an artist in the crafts of design, drawing, screen printing, painting, and even some sewing. His use of bright colours, aluminum foil, and light-hearted illustrations are present in both his work and his deejay moniker the Hooded Deer.

We have new tees from threadless, palmer cash seibei and lazy oaf. We also got some new lomo gear, a new and of course free beer.

Lucia DeNile (ITALY) Versus Gavin Redmond (IRELAND)

Lucia DeNile (Collage)
8 years ago Lucia “Scissorhands” DeNile left a little town on top a little hill in Italy moved to Ireland in search of better magazines to cut up. She has spent her time doing just that as well as taking photos that go into magazines. Each of her pieces is an unrepeatable one off piece that has to be seen to be believed.

Gavin Redmond (Painting)
Gavin left the safety of IADT 3 years ago armed with a degree in fine art. He has shown in Ireland and the US. His small scale work gently teases out a quiet space that is informed by the everyday. And if you don’t believe that have a look at this.

We have new tees from threadless, palmer cash and lazy oaf. We also got some new lomo gear, a new jon burgerman tee, some nice hats, and of course free beer.

The new Jon Burgerman tee fom Yes, No, Maybe.

Tanks a mill to everyone who showed up for our official opening party last Thursday. There was an incredible turnout, and we went through a shit load of beer and snacks in no time. It was a little too cramped, and a smidge too hot, but we’re not complaining. Thanks to Rich & Chris, to everyone who came, everyone who brought something, everyone who bought something and a special thanks to the lady with the snake.

See yawl on the 7th August for Versus? Round 2 with new t-shirts from turtlehead, Palmer Cash, Threadless, Lazy Oaf, Hans & Fras, Seibei along with some new gear from angry, taschen, lomo and of course some brand new art & photography.

We know it was a bit tough to see the art & tees at times due to overcrowding so here’s a few pics before, during and after the evening.

And as a thanks to everyone we are offering 10% off everything on turtlehead.ie until the 7th Aug (the next Versus?). Just enter the code versus? at the checkout for the discount.
