KFAX21 - BLINKERFLUID ARCHIVE Once in a while an artist comes along that truly stands out from the crowd, in an overcrowded and homogenous horizon of fast fixes and easy copies a breath of fresh air sometimes appears out of nowhere. It was certainly the case with Australian illustrator Blinkerfluid who popped up on the international scene a few years ago with his 90s influenced renditions of b-boys and b-girls, graffiti guys and DJ characters. Make no mistake though, this is more than purely aping a style that previously existed…this the authentic understanding and skill born of true adoration and the nerdiest of nerding out. In an age of AI drivel and iPad pandering, Blinkerfluid took us back to school with a scrappy pad of paper and a single black marker. Anyone who has met Blinkerfluid can attest to his obsession and hunger, like all great artists he rarely seen without his drawing tools. Instead of scrolling through digital media doom he is experimenting, watching the world and adding to his huge archive of drawings whether it be at home, in a bar or even in the club at night. Aside from his unique style, you can also tell him by his penstroke, a confident and loose command of the pen has been mastered and results in the kind of funk you can only really get by putting ink to paper. We are happy at KFAX to provide only a tiny peek into the gargantuan archive of Blinkerfluid, KFAX21 is approximately 70 pages measuring at 10x14cm with risographed black ink on lilac 80 g/m² EOS paper with glue binding. The first 50 copies sold via our bandcamp and website come with a free special limited edition Klasse Wrecks X Blinkerfluid finepoint Sharpie™, the chosen weapon of Blinkerfluid himself!
