Clement Anthony Burke known universally as Clem Burke was the kinetic engine behind Blondie and one of the most versatile drummers to emerge from the 1970s New York scene. Born November 24, 1954, in Bayonne, New Jersey, he grew up across the river from Manhattan, bashing paradiddles in St. Andrew’s Drum & Bugle Corps before falling for Chuck Berry and Keith Moon. Answering a Village Voice ad in 1975, he joined Debbie Harry and Chris Stein’s fledgling band, bringing Moon-style showmanship stick twirls, kit leaping finales and the precision to surf any genre Blondie threw at him: punk, disco, reggae or hip-hop. His thunderous groove powers four U.S. No. 1s, including “Heart of Glass” and the first rap-topped chart hit, “Rapture”.

When Blondie split in 1982 Burke became rock’s ultimate utility drummer, recording and touring with Eurythmics, Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan, Joan Jett and even two gigs as “Elvis Ramone” with the Ramones. He co-founded the Clem Burke Drumming Project in 2008, proving through sports-science tests that a drummer’s heart rate can match a Premier League footballer’s, research that earned him an honorary doctorate from the University of Gloucestershire. Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with Blondie in 2006, he continued to tour and record until a private cancer battle ended his run on April 6, 2025. Debbie Harry’s tribute called him “the heartbeat of Blondie,” a title that, for generations of fans, will keep time long after the sticks have fallen silent.

Anthony Clarkson 'Spoil The Mother' Print Available

Artist: Anthony Clarkson
Title: Spoil The Mother
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 20 x 29 Inches
Edition: 30
Prices: $75

Anthony Clarkson is a Los Angeles-based painter, illustrator and designer whose ghostly surrealism maps the fault-line between child-like innocence and adult disquiet. Born in 1978 and trained at the Colorado Institute of Art, he spent his early career as head graphic designer for a major record label, crafting hyper-real digital photo-manipulations for album covers that quickly appeared on releases across punk, metal and alternative rosters.

Weary of pixels, Clarkson began re-activating the sketch-book creatures of his youth, translating insomnia, heartbreak and suburban ennui into acrylic and oil paintings on wood panel. His imagery wide-eyed waifs, crumbling circus tents, wind-up ballerinas abandoned in overgrown gardens combines meticulous glazing with distressed surfaces so light seems to seep through cracks in the narrative.

Since his 2005 debut at Thinkspace, Los Angeles, he has exhibited in venues such as Gallery 1988, Copro/Nason and Cannibal Flower, and was tapped for curated tributes to Marvel Comics (hosted by Stan Lee) and Kevin Smith’s “Crazy for Cult” series. Vinyl-toy juggernaut MindStyle commissioned him to customise a 10-inch Stitch figure for Disney’s global Experiment 626 tour, cementing a crossover following that spans fine-art collectors and designer-toy hunters.

Whether rendering a melancholy carousel horse or a house swallowed by kudzu, Clarkson’s work invites viewers into what he calls “a theater of tragedy” a place where sweetness and sorrow share the same breath, and every cracked paint flake is a reminder that stories, like hearts, are beautiful when broken.

Peter Blake 'Marilyn Black' Print Available

Artist: Peter Blake
Title: Marilyn Black
Medium: Framed Diamond Dust Screen Print
Size: Framed 64 x 88 cm
Edition: 175
Prices: £5,240

Sir Peter Blake is one of Britain’s most celebrated and influential pop artists, renowned for his vibrant, collage-based works that merge fine art with popular culture. Born in Dartford, England, in 1932, Blake studied at the Royal College of Art, where he developed his distinctive style that would later define much of the British Pop Art movement.

Best known for co-designing The Beatles’ iconic Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover in 1967, Blake’s work captures the energy, optimism, and visual language of post-war popular culture. His imagery draws from comic strips, advertisements, film stars, and music icons reframing them through a painterly and often nostalgic lens.

Throughout his career, Blake has worked across painting, collage, and printmaking, producing editions that blend Victorian aesthetics with contemporary pop iconography. On Murus.art, his pieces exemplify this playful yet meticulous approach: detailed collages that combine celebrity portraits, bold typography, and cultural ephemera into cohesive visual narratives.

Knighted in 2002 for his services to art, Blake has remained a central figure in British visual culture for over six decades. His influence spans generations bridging traditional craftsmanship with the immediacy of modern media.

Today, Sir Peter Blake continues to produce new works from his London studio, collaborating with galleries like Murus to make his art accessible to new audiences. His enduring legacy lies in his ability to turn the everyday into the extraordinary, celebrating the icons, imagery, and imagination of contemporary life.

Rob Stears 'Big City Bot, Limerick' Print Available

Artist: Rob Stears
Title: Big City Bot, Limerick
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: (A2) 59.4 x 42 cm
Edition: UNSURE
Prices: €65

Rob Stears is an Irish artist, illustrator, and cartoonist whose hand-drawn works are featured on Jam Art Factory’s platform. Known for his quirky, tongue-in-cheek sense of humour, Stears creates prints, greeting cards, and signed illustrations that straddle the line between whimsy and social commentary. Stears’ style tends to be minimal and playful: bold lines, simple palettes, and deliberate use of negative space. His illustrations often capture everyday moments, interpersonal quirks, or ironic observations about human behaviour. On his own site Rob has also produced custom illustrations that memorialize personal experiences couples, pets, travel scenes, and domestic vignettes with an expressive, intimate touch.

His association with Jam Art Factory has helped bring his work to a wider Irish audience. The Jam Art platform classifies his work under “Irish Artists” and features him under its “rob” tag for prints. They stock signed limited edition prints, including a series of Irish city landmarks making a shape of a robot for Dublin, Cork and Limerick each, which are offered both online and in their Dublin galleries. Jam Art’s social media often spotlights his releases, describing his output as ranging “from tongue in cheek to full on bizarre jokes and quips.” 

Beyond his commercial output, Stears seems to embrace a vision of art that is personal and conversational—works designed to provoke a smile, stir a thought, or resonate through shared daily experiences. If you like, I can dig up a gallery of his recent works or highlight a few standout pieces.

Vince Handford 'Shark Tank' (Turquoise/Red) Print Available

Artist: Vince Handford
Title: Shark Tank (Turquoise/Red)
Medium: 2 Color Screen Print
Size: (A2) 59.4 x 42 cm
Edition: 50
Prices: £65

Vince Handford is the creative force behind Memori Prints (also styled as Memori). Operating from his home studio and from Ocean Studios in Plymouth, UK. He designs and hand-prints limited edition screen prints, posters, greeting cards, T-shirts, and enamel pin badges.

With a background in graphic design, Vince studied at the Plymouth College of Art (now Arts University Plymouth). Since around 2016 he has been working professionally in design, but over time he has dedicated himself fully to his screen printing venture. 

Vince is deeply passionate about materiality and the physical nature of printed art. He aims to counteract a world where memories often live only in digital form compressed images, mp3s, social media archives by creating tactile, lasting artworks. His process is hands-on: each colour in a print is applied separately by hand, using non-toxic, water-based inks on premium GF Smith paper sourced from FSC-certified suppliers.

Vince describes himself as a “screen print obsessive,” and his designs often combine vibrant hues, bold imagery, and intriguing patterns melding modern graphic sensibilities with traditional printmaking techniques. Through Memori Prints, Vince endeavors to produce art that is kept, treasured, passed on, and removed from the throwaway culture that affects many mass-produced goods. 

Olaolu Slawn 'Running Lies' Print Available

Artist: Olaolu Slawn
Title: Running Lies
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 70 x 70 cm
Edition: UNSURE
Prices: $550

 

Olaolu Slawn born Olaolu Akeredolu-Ale in Lagos, October 24th, 2000 is a British-Nigerian painter, designer and self-branded “scam-artist” who has sprinted from Nigeria’s fledgling skate scene to the front pages of Sotheby’s and Silverstone in under five years. He learnt visual mischief stacking shelves and shaping boards at Wafflesncream, Lagos’ first skate shop, then co-founded street collective Motherlan, earning an early cosign from Virgil Abloh. A 2018 move to London (and lockdown boredom) pushed him from graphic-design classes at Middlesex University to slapping bright, grotesque caricatures on any surface that couldn’t run away canvases, club walls, even fried bread at after-parties.

Working in furious, lo-fi layers of spray paint, household emulsion and oil stick, Slawn fuses Yoruba pattern logic with 90s cartoon violence, re-appropriating golliwog-era stereotypes into bug-eyed, balloon-lipped grotesques that bait debates on race, identity and bad taste. The punchy immediacy of the imagery plus stunts like “fight-club” exhibitions where punters brawled for paintings quickly drew fans from Skepta to A$AP Rocky.

Major institutions followed: in 2023 he became the youngest artist ever to redesign the BRIT Award statuette, then repeated the trick for the 2024 FA Cup trophy. Auction records escalated when Three Yoruba Brothers sold at Sotheby’s and history was made again in July 2025 when his graffiti wrap on Racing Bulls’ Formula 1 VCARB 02 became the first artwork to race at the British Grand Prix. Whether you call it neo-expressionism or trolling at scale, Slawn’s work insists art can be loud, profane and still painfully honest about the pigment of prejudice.

Travis Louie 'Horned Sparkletail' Print Available

Artist: Travis Louie
Title: Horned Sparkletail
Medium: Giclee Print
Size: 16 x 20 Inches
Edition: UNSURE
Prices: $170

 

Travis Louie crafts monochrome “family albums” for a parallel Victorian planet. Born 1964 in Queens, New York, he grew up on Atomic-Age sci-fi, German Expressionist films and Saturday comic-shop runs, influences that still drip from his brushes today. After a Pratt Institute BFA in Communication Design he freelanced as an illustrator, but by 2003 the tiny sketches and marginalia in his journals had snowballed into a fully fledged mythology: a world of gentle werewolves, goat-cursed accountants, vibrating engine-drivers and other “human oddities” who queue up to have their formal portraits taken as proof they existed.

Working on smooth board, Louie lays down tight graphite drawings, then builds velvety grey tones with thin acrylic washes until the figures feel like antique tintypes unearthed in a dusty attic. The faux-historical finish is deliberate; it lets him smuggle modern themes; racism, xenophobia, immigrant otherness into faces that appear reassuringly vintage. Each sitter arrives with a micro-biography penned by the artist, turning exhibitions into storybook parlours where viewers read how a hedge-sleeping fur-being or top-hatted spider-lover earned their place in society.

The conceit has travelled far: from “Art From the New World” at Bristol City Museum to “Pop Surrealism” in Spoleto, Italy, and the pages of Hi-Fructose and Juxtapoz. Institutions such as the Virginia MOCA and numerous private collectors now count Louie’s portraits among their treasures, ensuring his quiet cast of misfits continues to petition for empathy, curiosity and wonder one sepia stare at a time.

Mychael Barratt 'Stik's Dog' Print Available

Artist: Mychael Barratt
Title: Stik's Dog
Medium: 2 Color Screen Print
Size: 22 x 22 cm
Edition: 100
Prices: £280

 

Mychael Barratt is a Canadian-born, London-based printmaker and painter whose intricate, story-rich works have made him one of the UK’s most collectable narrative artists. Born in Toronto, he arrived in London for a supposed fortnight three decades ago and never left; the capital’s skyline, history and mythology now saturate every etching he produces.

Working from a studio overlooking the Thames, Barratt hand-pulls limited-edition etchings that weave Shakespeare, Dickens, personal diary fragments and cartography into densely layered compositions. Maps are a recurring obsession: he re-draws centuries-old city plans, then overlays fictional sea-monsters, overheard conversations and snippets of poetry so that each plate becomes a time-travelling palimpsest.

A graduate of the Ontario College of Art, Barratt’s technical mastery soft-ground, aquatint, dry-point has earned him Fellowships at the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers and selection for the RA Summer Exhibition every year since 2011. His 2022 solo show “A London Year” sold out within days, confirming a loyal following that ranges from first-time buyers to the British Museum, which holds his work in the permanent collection.
