Want It Need It: Screens ‘N’ Spokes at Mugshots
We can’t really understand any reason you wouldn’t go flocking to Mugshots this Thursday (7 p.m., free, 2106 Fairmount Ave., mugshotscoffeehouse.com) for the annual Screens ‘N’ Spokes charity art sale. Sixteen talented artists from across the U.S. — including Greg Pizzoli, Leia Bell and Decoder Ring Design Concern — have created bike-inspired illustrations and letterpress work to benefit the National MS Society, and we kinda want one of each.
They’re gorgeous prints priced fairly, and the cause is a great one. Team Screens ‘N’ Spokes has an almost-up-and-running Web site, blog, Twitter account and Etsy site (where the prints will be available for purchase as of the week of August 10), but they’ve also shared with us a handful of previews that we, in turn, will share with y’all. Here goes, with accompanying Screens ‘N’ Spokes-provided captions:

For the third straight year the Screens 'N' Spokes Art Show rides into town. Screens 'N' Spokes is a celebration of art, bikes, and the community spirit they inspire. In August, Mugshots will feature for sale limited-run screenprints by leading rock poster artists. The work is wide-ranging, from detailed illustration to antique letterpress typography. All proceeds will benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's Bike MS: City to Shore Ride.
