Have Love Will Travel
Despite the less than favourable weather conditions I have a fair bit of travelling ahead of me over the next week. A good old tote bag keeps the new copy of Blickfang Ultra Street Art Edition 2, my paper, passport and plane ticket close to hand, just without a certain je ne sais quoi.
Free nylon mesh tote bag from local graffiti store + one molotow thick paint marker = much better! Now if only I could get access to cheap screen printing…

Another quick sticker. Molotow paint markers. Now on the fridge at CYCMs. Even with the recent news about the PIK and the Glazers potentially digging into their own pockets (I wont hold my breath), Im pretty sure the LUHG will remain valid…

5th of November - Lets give em a reason, why it should never be forgot…
FC to somehow beat Rochdale in a cup upset and to help things along, here is a new doppelhalter/two sticked banner for Friday featuring V from V for Vendetta…

I am an FC can! Doodling on an empty Kobra red spraycan. :-)

Home made sticker. Take one photo (the photo in this case kindly supplied by Mick Dean, link at the bottom of the this post), take one sticky label, apply adhesive (in this case a spray adhesive from Molotow), stick the two together and then add any further features with edding. Its now ready to be placed somewhere…
The reference is to the song This Momentary by Manchester band Delphic.

I felt it fitted perfectly the sheer ecstasy Ben Deegan was no doubt feeling at scoring that last minute winner against Osset.

Another hand made FCUM sticker up somewhere. Molotow eddings, sticker from Montana Cans. Oh and fuck off city! ;-)

Little football fan dude. Eddings on name tag sticker (I think the leftovers from a sticker I mucked up). I think he’s stuck up on the canal path somewhere now. FC!

Home made banner, with rare success in using spraycans on material. I guess because the background is white, it shows up better. The white edges to the lettering had to be done with an extra thick white Molotow edding, which seemed to settle on the cotton (or paint in between) better than spraypaint. The rest was done with Iron Lak and Montana cans. This banner first debuted at the Cliftonville v FCUM friendly in Belfast (Summer 2010).
FCUM A.D. Established 2009. Yeah, I know what you are thinking, FC United of Manchester was established in 2005, not 2009. Well here Im talking about FCUM A.D., that is a blog (the very blog you are currently clicking about on) and some (but not all) of the activities documented within.
Whats it all about? Getting off your arse and doing something. Not watching the match in the pub, not even just turning up once in a while to the ground, but dedicating time to pushing things on a notch. Whether its knocking out fanzines, running radio shows, producing banners and choreos for matches or running around town late at night making the walls and lampposts look prettier with football club related stickers, paste ups, graffitis or tags.
The A.D. is short for Art Department, thats vague enough to incorporate plenty. This blog started out concentrating just on the stickers and streetart bit, but it likes to cover other things too. As the Germans would say "blick über den Tellerrand". Is it all Grade A? Probably not, but as Minor Threat sang "You tell me that I make no difference. At least I'm fuckin' trying. What the fuck have you done?" :-D
