Fly by Night Summary

Fly by Night: The New Art of the Club Flyer by Craig McCarthy

Already hailed by Dazed & Confused magazine as `definitive, an instant cult classic', this new collection of club flyers provides a unique visual record of London's nightlife and subcultures. Covered with inventive, unfurling doodles, hand-drawn lettering and images of sexy figures and party animals, these low-budget productions are created from drawings, tracings, photocopies, photographs, cut-outs and collages, and reference flyers first inspired by the cut-and-paste era of the late 1980s, but now given inspirational new form in the current scene. By turns provocative, subversive, shocking, decorative and witty, these flyers provide an alternative history of London's ever-changing club circuit.
