www.1horsetown.co.za update

So the end of last year was mad as hell , the start to the new year was as if we were thrown in the deep end by ourselves, with work pouring in on top of the four exhibitions we had to do work for and help setup from Jan - Feb, but alas all has gone smoothly and we have now updated the website, more will be updated in the weeks to come,so please keep coming back. O.H.T

Arcade Poster Exhibition

One Horse Town in collaboration with Arcade and Yours Truly bring you a retrospective exhibition

of Arcade posters from the past two years.

The event will be taking place on the 21st January at Yours Truly 175 on Long street, We will be kicking things off at 5pm, so be sure to join us after work as there will be drinks as well as snacks served.

As most Arcade or Electro scene frequenters will know, Arcade has from the beginning been at the fore- front of the electro scene setting the standard for all the electro parties which are being held today, never has anyone put so much effort and detail into decor and promotion than Arcade have and we believe now that it has come to an end that its time to go out with a celebration, so please do join us on this joyous occasion.

Arcade - The Final Show

If you have frequented our blog,website or anything for that matter ,you would know that we have been designing / illustrating posters every month for Arcade for the past three years , but alas! sadly Arcade is about to take it's last breath of air, although it a abnormally large one they are going out with a bang and bringing you the biggest Arcade yet! Including a bunch of circus freaks to make you question reality at 3 in the morning wondering where the hell you are and why there is a grandmother standing in the corner of the annex in a leopard skin leotard holding knives between her teeth blind folded whilst tossing knives at a circulating bulls eye with a sheep tied to it! Well goodluck folks! Arcade presents the final installment entitled Mr Majestic Cirque De Fantastic!

Oh yes.. this is the poster.
