From his iconic and globally-recognisable red and yellow street logo known as The Temple, to his spectacular paintings, spray-painted caravans, street actions, and sketchbook drawings, the inimitable art of Sickboy is showcased here for the first time in its entirety. Demonstrating his fascinating and humorous work, Busted Parachute — which includes a foreword by author, Tristan Manco — charts Sickboy’s development from his early notoriety in Bristol, to his status on the global stage.

Offering an intimate exploration of the mind behind the infectiously-upbeat wall slogans and audacious stunts, Busted Parachute takes a personal look at Sickboy’s work over the last decade, documenting his street and studio collaborations with some of the biggest figureheads in street art, and featuring special projects with the elusive photographer, Viktor Vauthier.

The Busted Parachute Box Set is presented as a hand-finished wooden box (screen-printed by POW with gold-leaf detailing and authentication stamp), and includes two exclusive prints and a red hardcover hand-finished book with gold embossed text, all in a signed and numbered edition of 60, and priced £125.

Sickboy is also releasing a special edition box set in an edition of 10, priced at £250, which includes a copy of Busted Parachute in black hardcover with gold embossed text, plus three hand-finished screen-prints on a variety of special papers.

You can purchase The Busted Parachute box set and other special edition posters at www.thesickboy.com on October 1, 2010.
