FAILE

With pop-culture-inspired artwork scattered throughout the streets of
New York as well as groundbreaking exhibitions in London, Mongolia
and every other place you can think of, Patrick McNeil and Patrick Miller
of Faile have become living legends in the world of street art. David Bobis
interviewed both the Patricks about the past, future and everything in
between in our latest issue. In this blog post we have added some extra
images of exhibitions Faile has had in the past. To see a whole heap

ALEX LEHOURS

Welcome to this weeks first blog post:) We featured artist Alex
Lehours way back in issue one. No Cure caught up with Lehours again
to showcase his most recent projects. Enjoy! M.Z

Stoli commissioned illustrator and artist Alex Lehours to create an
artwork that would capture the strong brand, colours and heritage
of Stolichnaya in a way that would suit the unique style of the bar.
The result is an eccentric explosion of chaos, humour and absolute
randomness!

Commissioned by the guys at UNSW Roundhouse Alex created
two murals fortheir beer garden and function room. 

Last year (2012) Alex was commissioned by the folks at
The Renegades to paint some feature walls inside their brand new
cafe & wine bar in Mascot, Sydney. All walls were hand painted using
aerosol and acrylic paint.

Alex Lehours was commissioned by The Defectors Marketing company in
Sydney to paint a mural for their rooftop wall. The brief was to create a
piece that reflected 1980 Miami. He decided to incorporate typical cliche
elements of Miami as well as adding his own twist.

NO CURE A SUCCESS!

Hi all,

News Flash! No Cure has succeeded in our quest for the
printed world! Our Pozible campaign was successful one
hour before it finished and weraised the full $6000.
I'd like to thank all of you that pledged over the
three long months and supported us right to the end. 

Where to from here? 
The first steps in the process is that we have to start
designing the magazine and preparing it for print.
80% of the content in the first issue will be brand
new but I will be including some of our most exciting
artists and articles from past issues throughout this issue
and future issues. These articles will all get a redesign
and include up to date content. I'm hoping to complete
the design process of the magazine within six weeks.
Once the files are sent to the printer it will take them
approximately 3.5 weeks to print and deliver. Please be
patient as these things can take longer than expected.
The No Cure team will work as fast as possible to
deliver your product as soon as we can. We will
keep everyone who pledged on this project updated
and informed of our movements.

No Cure magazine printed edition issue one will now be a
(quarterly magazine) available at your local news agent
and online stores such as Magnation. (Please note if you
have pledged for a yearly subscription you will still get six
issues delivered to your door.)

We have many new exciting things planned so stay tuned
and be prepared for many good times ahead. Thanks to
everyone who supported us in this journey. 

Thanks

Director/designer

Mark Zeidler

DAVID LYLE

I paid a visit to David lyle's facebook page the other day
because it's been a while since we interviewed him way back in
issue two. I was curious about what the man was up to because I dig
his work and get such a kick out of seeing what themes he will play
on next. Guess what? There are a few newbies!

What biting truths lurk beneath Western culture as we know it?
Just ask artist David Lyle, whose provocative paintings depict an
upheaval of American nostalgia by modern day mischief. Using
black paint and turpentine to reimagine vintage photos, David
exposes the dark undertow submerging our past and present
as one reality. 

ERIN SMITH

At No Cure we are mad about skulls! There is something
about skulls that are timeless and no matter what, artists will
continue to draw them until the end of time. Brisbane artist
Erin Smith knows exactly what I'm talking about having her own
passion for skulls. Erin recently sent me through some of her new 
work she has been working on in her studio at Jugglers artspace
in Fortitude Valley. For the coming months Erin is currently
concentrating on improving her skills then heading to New York
mid year for a residency and then to Berlin at the beginning of 2014.
