IS SAITCH YER DADDY
The 2011-2012 Season
Collages by Kosmo Vinyl

Kosmo Vinyl, former Ian Dury and the Blockheads Press, Promotion and Presentation Agent is showing his West Ham United inspired collages at the EB&Flow Gallery – APRIL 9th-15th, 2013. A Hammers fan and blogger, and former East Ender, Kosmo is now based in New York City, from where he set up his soccer blog IS SAITCH YER DADDY click here to comment on being 3,473 miles from Upton Park. The collages are created in response to the team’s fixtures and results. The 53 pieces that define the Hammers’ 2011-2012 season betray Vinyl’s cultural roots – his ‘lick and stick’ imagery combines the best of both Sixties pop art and Seventies punk rock blackmail graphics. Not surprising, given his earlier roles working with both Ian Dury and The Clash.
