Much thanks to the Metal Shop at CELLspace for hardware install, spigot move, and an amazing Metal Mural to accent!

Thanks to Chris Benfield for helping out, Flora Bora for encouragement, and all the artists for their time and talent! Mando, Victor, Tiago, Dave X, and other CELL peeps pitched in in various ways as well. Oh, muralist Mona Caron gave great advice on coating the panels, and Lily and Dia have expressed interest to be the next artists lined up to paint murals on the CELL walls.

The grill gets set up around 1pm today and we'll hand out food while it lasts. If you come later, bring your own and we'll throw it on the fire!

Has it come to jail time to wipe out graffiti?

The TRB fist logo was designed in early 1977 by Roger Huddle from Rock Against Racism. The concept of the name placed around a fist was "borrowed" from the Gay Liberation Front, while the colour scheme and typeface were suggested by Tom. Roger adapted his fist drawing from a Black Panthers publication, and also used it as a logo for the Socialist Workers Party.

The original LP version of "Power In The Darkness" (1978) in the UK contained a cardboard stencil of the TRB logo with the words: "THIS STENCIL IS NOT MEANT FOR SPRAYING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY".

Click here to view (or right-click to download) a black-on-white PDF file of the logo to print, cut out and spray as required.

Fits on a single sheet of A4 paper or card, slightly smaller than the original album stencil. For the full size version, adjust "page setup" on your computer to print at 150%.

This is the cover I made for Momentum Magazine, their 38th edition. They are based in Vancouver, BC, but distribute all over Canada and US.
