The prints will be available over the dates, and any left over will be made available on this site.

Diagram‘s debut EP has just been released on the the wonderful Full Time Hobby record label – with a very strictly limited edition (200) being released on 12″ vinyl and an individually numbered, screen-printed sleeve also available – which is something pretty unique & special.
Design by Full Time Hobby’s Hayley, and printed here at Handcooked.

Last month got off to a fantastic start with news of a nomination for Handcooked/Douglas Walker in the category of ‘Poster Artist of the Year’ in the inaugral Scottish New Music Awards 2011 – an exciting new event being held later this year at the Classic Grand in Glasgow, created to recognise individuals’ contributions towards the vitality of the Scottish music industry.
More info/links for all the music industry nominees (inc. those in the poster category) can be found here, and the award winners will be decided upon through online voting – which is now open, and closes 1st August.
An (appreciated) vote for Handcooked can be made here, please note: the nomination is under Douglas Walker – and not Handcooked.
There are 27 nomination categories, and a vote in every category IS required – although there’s no log-in procedure for voting and it WILL only take a couple of minutes to complete. Do take your time if you can though, as there’s quite a few worthwhile nominees in each category worth your support/vote/more recognition within the industry – and these new awards sound like a great way to help achieve that.
Thank you!

A busy year so far printing/designing with Handcooked and keeping up with Baseline’s design work has meant the Handcooked site’s been running behind with keeping up to date, but our Bright Eyes print for the band’s Glasgow show (shown above) has now been added to our shop along with the Roddy Woomble tour print.
Site updates will follow on soon with details of our commemorative prints for Roddy Hart’s “Forever Young” Bob Dylan Tribute Night at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall, along with some pix of our first foray into screen-printing limited edition 12″ single sleeve covers – which is an area we’d love to be working in – especially after seeing ‘proper’ 12″ x 12″ music artwork being made again…

Just completed are the prints for Roddy Woomble’s current tour – which will be available through our shop after the Liverpool date on Feb 6th.
The design’s also been adapted for t-shirts and a tote bag which are on-sale at the gigs – along with a very small quantity of single colour prints of the above on either red or light blue card.

Our Idlewild tour prints for the band’s 100 Broken Windows 10th Anniversary Tour have now been made available. The first edition of prints completely sold out on tour, so a 2nd edition was requested by the band to be printed up to cover all the dates.
(The second edition isn’t printed on the 270gsm GF Smith Colourplan paper stock we usually use – just to differentiate editions – and also due to timescales/bad weather interfering with deliveries of paper/timescales.)

Completed in the middle of heavy snow falls and sub zero temperatures were our latest prints for Idlewild – who are touring to support the re-release of their 100 Broken Windows album on it’s tenth anniversary. Both the design and the final print itself are possibly Handcooked best efforts yet – despite the weather’s best efforts to make this as difficult as possible to produce!
The print is 11.5 inches x 23.5 inches, and is printed 4 colours, with a fifth colour achieved through overprinting inks.
Photo galleries showing the step by step process involved are posted on Facebook.
The print’s sold really well on tour, so to cover all the tour dates at the end of December there’ll be a 2nd Edition of these printed up for those and to cover any on-line sales.
These prints will be available on-line early in the New Year.

Thanks to everyone who made our first visit to Flatstock Europe such a great experience. Now that all our poster stock is now in the one place with prints being out on tour, at Flatstock or at galleries, our shop will be updated very soon – and there’s a few prints going to be available that haven’t been in stock for ages. So check back very soon for updates…
