Kurt Cobain is one of the most iconic US figures of the Twentieth
Century. He’s the poster boy for the MTV generation.
Belly Kids celebrate Cobain’s legendary status with Kurt and the Gang,
an illustrated sticker collection chronicling the life, influence and
friends of Kurt Cobain. The book is packed with work from 13 artists
in the form of 60 stickers
and features illustrations not only of the Nirvana singer/guitarist,
but also of his friends and contemporaries including Daniel Johnston,
Courtney Love, The Pixies, Dave Grohl and more.
The launch of the book will be accompanied by a month long exhibition
at KK Outlet where illustrations from the book will be on show
alongside specially devised, extended work.

Pizza, Monsters, Milkshakes, The Egyptians and more.
