'Limited Press Collective' Group Exhibition

'Limited press Collective' Group Exhibition at 'Weapon of Choice' Gallery

If you don't already know about these guys you must have been walking round with blinkers on looking at the floor..! But if you have here's a little bit of what you can expect from them..! Enjoy


Limited Press is a Bristol based collaborative art and design collective, best known for their large scale murals. As well as producing street art and graffiti, Limited Press also take on a wide variety of design, illustration and art projects.

“We're not overly concerned with categorizing what we do, we make work and take on projects that excite us creatively, that's the bottom line, whether its an exhibition or a design commission we apply the same energy and process of collaboration;a kind of alchemy in itself which characterises our work”.

Given the diverse nature of their work, and their team, the collaborative exhibitions of Limited Press share this interdisciplinary approach, often encompassing elements of installation, sculpture, design and painting. Their upcoming Show at Weapon of Choice Gallery, based on the idea of 'supply and demand' , will be no exception, featuring a collaborative installation by Meek and Kai, as well a new series of wall mounted works by the highly imaginative and unorthodox hand of Long John. A host of other original artworks and editions by the rest of the crew will also be available at the show opening from the 22nd Oct till the 7th of November (Please excuse the flyer typo..!)

SIZE? x PUMA TURN UP THE HEAT...!



SIZE? TURN UP THE HEAT FOR THEIR 10th ANNIVERSARY WITH A MIAMI STYLE COLLECTION


Drop number three in the Size? Puma 10th Anniversary collection is the quintessential eighties inspired Sky II Hi. This addition sees an amazing hook up with Trainspotter taking on the theme of “Miami Vice.”

The classic silhouette of the Sky II Hi allows for the trainer to be perfectly rendered and brought up to date. Trainerspotter rise to their challenge by designing the sneaker in three pastel tones; grey, mint and pink - straight out of Crockett’s wardrobe.


Size? oppose this with a take on a Sweeney inspired Sky II Hi, they add a gum sole, retro inspired, canvas corduroy form stripe and button detailing.





If you’re a fan of Puma trainers this drop is for you. Appreciate the aesthetics, love the design and become apart of Size? 10th Anniversary’s history. For true sneaker fans, keep your eyes peeled for the limited edition, customised Bio Mega bikes emulating both the Trainspotter and Size? Sneakers.





The third collaboration from the Puma x size? 10th anniversary project will be launching in-store and via size.co.uk on the 16th October, RRP £70 limited to 200 pairs of the Trainerspotter shoe and 120 of the size? reaction shoe
